Wed 20 Aug 2008
From the lack of recent posts, you might conclude that I’m not doing much writing lately. You’d be wrong. It’s OK, we all make mistakes. I forgive you.
So I’m not cranking out thousands of words a day (I’m lucky if I get an hour a day to spend at it), but I am actually working. On projects. How about them italics? I rewrote a scene of a short story this morning, I have a feel-good family piece in the edit queue after that one’s done, and somewhere in there I’ll be getting back to the novel.
For awhile, I was waking up in the morning thinking “I have to do these writing prompts first thing so I can get warmed up.” And doing the prompts. And nothing else.
Before the writing prompts, it was “I have to write another blog post so I can attract legions of loyal fans who hang on my every word.”
Those things are all well and good, of course, but I have to write before I can justify writing about writing.
Oh, and I also have a special assignment for tonight. I should have more news about that within the week. Don’t touch that dial.
