30oct2015 updates

I just finished the, oh I don't know, thirtieth rewrite on the Priest story.

It's as good as I can get it for now despite my seeing all the details it still needs.

I have to move on. Nowritmo is upon my and I want to take a run at it with a secqual to the Joba story.

Have registered for the spring and the masters program in English. Excited to be on the path again.

I had to decide weither to concentrate on non fiction or fiction. I felt I haven't come all this way to write about other people's work. I'll write my own.

Some updates.

I been working on the drifting priest for he past week or so. I have it on watt pad and found I can edit the piece online. I'd reread it after a few months and saw much that needed improving and since I want to use it as my submission piece for grad school I want it as good as it can be.

Part of me feels like it's a cop out as. Have plenty of other pieces needin my attention. Still, it makes me happy and its progress.

Yeah yeah yeah, the writing shot is still goin on. But I wanna bitch a little, whine even, about love.

We spend our whole lives practically seeking it. Then we get it and it sucks! Oh it's sweet for awhile. You float around high on a drug you can't buy for any price thinking "finally!"

Then reality sets in. You find it rarely goes both ways and if it does it rarely has longevity. Frequently you end up alone lost in the cycle of does she really love me or am I fulfilling a need.

It ends in pain so often that I wonder why God hard wired us to even feel it. People would be so much happier with a simple contract stating their needs and the things they will not tolerate.  That would work splendidly for a couple in agreement, but usually it's a one sided thing. He loves her she kinda loves him. He loves her she loves some of the things he does and he's no trouble. You catch my meaning.

I'm just bitching. No one shall be named and I hate that I even felt desperate enough to have to resort to voicing it here. Still...

Thank you for listening.

Read a writer's advisory today. It reminded me of the mantra I'd been living by the past year concerning my own writing.

"Finish what you start!"

That was the core of it. Funny how easily you can slip off the path. The author pointed out how new ideas come constantly, frequently in the middle of other projects. Fresh and new the can tempt you away possibly starting a cycle. I've been doing that all this week with me working the new story instead of finishing the Hang story.

I'm back on that tonight.
