Currents 6jun2015

I know it's been awhile. Truth is I'm unsure what this blog is really about. 

I started out wanting to document my writers journey but there's so much of that done so much better I thought "nah." I think people would be bored.

Thought about the personal angle but find it difficult to share in general. Hence the sporadic postings.

Still I'm writing everyday, at least an hour in the morning and a couple at night. I'm currently exiting rewrite hell finally with Priests first story. I think I'll post it here as a sort of victory lap then move on to his next one.

Still consistently writing. The priest story has finally taken shape and I'm in the re write phase. I'm proud to have gotten here and I'm already looking forward to secquels and other things.

There's a peace on me that's rare. A resignation that write or no write I'll eventually die anyway so may as well write! It gives me freedom from the criticism of others but not myself and I'm mean enough for both!

Still working the priest and the process is so tiring mentally.

I have the tree of the story but the carving out of the exquisitely designed chair is proving an even bigger pain than ever.

I've been studying elements of style religous lately and finding sooo many faults in my writing. This is after rewriting this story about ten times already. (Smile)

Now armed with the above mentioned weapon I am going over it yet again and my brain is fatigued!

Now I'm nog one of those twelve hour a day guys; I do two at the most in a sitting, but it's an intense two hours as I gather any writer will tell you.

I love that I'm still at it though.

Back

Working on the drifting priest again.

The story has confounded me for weeks. It just sat there on the laptop taunting me. I considered quitting it but know that's a sure path to nothing achived.

So I waited...

Other ideas fighting for attention quietly logged and put aside. Now they force me to write. 

If I don't complete priest I cannot get to them!

But now at least priest is moving. I simply had to remember wise words from a friend.

"Don't overthink it!"

Right now

Calm my brother.

You are the master of your rage.

Do not let it lead you down the path of regret. People will hurt for reasons not their own. 

Bridges will burn when there's no need.

Take the fire and use it!

Mold that shit into fine china.

Make it something you can look at later and be proud of

No just one more bad memory.

Pre birthday and I'm drowning in introspection.

Can't stop the words

Can't stop the probing.

I have a hate/love thing going with myself :)

Fifty nine tomorrow. Christ it went fast!

And I've achieved...so little.

Damn! i wrote something today!

I know that sounds trite. What i mean to say is i wrote something new!

I've been chipping away at a couple of olderr stories preping them for submission to the writing program here so either haven't had time or haven't made time for anything new.

But i was always thinking about it; Accepting then rejecting countless premises finally i just did a steven king and just sat down and let it flow.

Most of it will be dumped but so what? The effort! The mighty effort is what counts, the on the way to something new that you created. man, thats the shit.
