Another strong week of writing. Kept up the crazy-train of production, although I'm finding the hardest part is finding balance.
Continually I write something new, usually short stories. But I don't just write them, I edit them. And re-edit. After all, what's the point if I'm not pushing myself to produce the best works possible? I need higher goals now beyond simply writing.
But striking a balance between writing and editing is hard. I don't know yet if I should write one day and edit the next or attempt both everyday. I feel stretched if I do both same day but robbed if I don't write and edit instead another day. My time currently is limited by work, reporting, homework and social engagements.
Such is the life of writing
"Smooth seas rarely make skillful sailors."
Tomorrow I'll be writing a paragraph for a writing exam about who knows what. It's supposed to be the first step to walk before being able to write an essay or maybe a story. I seem to have something to say about anything, but I figure I first have to learn how to do it properly.
I am really chuffed with a story I have just written, but must resist the urge to keep messing with it. I would like to give it few days to marinate then do some editing.
Wow it is such a good feeling when the story seems to write itself.
