Writing Life

The life most real to me. As evidenced by the preponderance of posts.

Done, By God!

I think I used that title before. Oh well. I am. Done, I mean. I finished yesterday, but I didn’t want to post this on yesterday’s date. Sometimes my blog seems to hide multiple posts in one day. I’m happy it’s done. It’s been a hard slog. I’m surprised it’s done. I thought I had […]

June?

How the hell can it be June?  I haven’t accomplished anything! Okay, someday I’m going to have to get over that.  I haven’t done anything the world has yet noticed.  I feel like Aragorn in the Very Secret Diaries (click carefully, not for the puritanical). Day Twelve: Still not published. Day Forty-Two: Words written: 541.

Three Days

I hate nights like this. It’s Thursday night. I haven’t written since Monday. You’d think I have far too much work behind me to doubt my talent. You’d think I’ve put way too much time into this, to ever think it was a mistake. You’d think. Even though I know damn well I was meant

Doesn’t that title sound naughty? Interesting day today.  I got asked out.  Very flattering.  I said no, thank you, because he’s twice my age and, while his English is far better than my Spanish, it’s not enough for us to hold a real conversation.  Dinner, I think, would be excruciating.  (And did I mention he’s

Type Faster!

1540 is my total today.  I’m rather disappointed.  Especially as I didn’t get started till late in the day.  I just…puttered.  Some of that was good puttering…I made a Keen wallpaper and cast my bad guy…but most of it was just useless wandering. *sigh*  I’ve got to get better at this focus thing. Oh, here

System

I have 1,452 words so far today.  Because I’m using a system.  (ooh!)  I’m setting a timer and writing as fast as I can for half an hour.  No getting up, no internet or email, just me and the word processor.  (and the music.  Gotta have the music.) It’s working.  I’m writing 500 +/- in
