Not bad. I got about 8k down but then had to leave it for a few days while I visited the inlaws.

I want to play. I really, really do.
This week, I've been writing articles rather than working on my book. Two articles as freelance work, and sixteen for my new blog and website.

Want to know how to write a book - fast?
It was a good writing weekend, got about 5k total on a few different things, and this week is shaping up to be a thoughtful week. Happy writing to everyone.
Really good. While penning on lit-net and in my journal, i've come up with a new plot for my next play.....

Not bad. I didn't leave the house (or even change out of my PJs, for that matter) at all this weekend, and that meant most of my time was spent on the computer, tying away at my latest story. I dreamed the entire first half... it was a nightmare so I'm assuming it's going to turn out to be some kind of sci-fi horror type story. Maybe I'll post the first chapter later!
If we find the answer, it would be the ultimate triumph of human reason-- for we would know the mind of God.

Good, but patience is a requisite. I'm writing a poem in the structure of Donne's
'Nocturnal upon St. Lucy's Day', but in a different metrical system. I'm imbibing
more and more as to what I can work into it as I dash, scribble, satisfy, dissatisfy,
rewrite, unwrite, alter and settle. I have about four stanzas of a surmised eight,
but must hark back to write an additional unifying stanza between two others
to protect against possible incoherence; or rather to allow the mind to ease
into the stanza, as it seems too abrupt in differing from the preceding one.
I also keep a journal with new finds in poetry and things picked
up on the path.
Well, well, well... It's been quite a long road for my writing. Things are starting to take shape and time to put that second idea down on paper. Golly hope it doesn't take another two years (and 40 years in the making) of hard work. Hee hee
I want a copy, but not in 40 years. I'd rather want it soonerOriginally Posted by Maryd.
Very appropriate and accurate signatures, by the way
Sure Maxi... If and when it get's published.
And I thought the signature is how things are right now. Maybe life will change... Um, or not!
It will. It has to!
Changes...
Say a few prayers for me... I need them... Hahahaha
It's one of the hardest things. But I recently worked out how tough I really am... I might just make it Max. Maybe?Changes...
I wrote four poems and started on three short stories, hopefully all of which come to successful fruition.
It sucks as an amateur, that sense of not knowing the quality of what you produce, at least in the eyes of the reader. I'd rather know I sucked than not know anything.
I guess I'm just complaining about the lack of readership.
Yes... Isn't it better to know. I know I would rather know. I think it's a cut throat industry these days So tough to break into, really.
Enter it in a Literature Prize - never know, overnight riches, fame and stardom - you might just be the literary equivalent of the next Susan Boyle
