1Jul2015 Rachael's Tale

     The original plan was to start "Random Acts" the tale of a man who's touch cause good or bad things to happen.

    I thought if finished it but found I'd only done ten pages with no outline.

I proceeded to chip at it all day yesterday before putting it aside again. I feel the idea is too vague I couldn't arrive at what I felt was a satisfying ending. I'm still chipping at it but am mainly focused now on Racheal's Tale."

     

     It's the follow up to Hangs Tale. The heartbroken dwarf is still trying to revive his dark elven mate but is sidetracked by friend Whimsy' scheme to finance their adventure.

29Jun2015 wandering priest finished

It's done.

28 pages and it's as good as I can make it right now.

Perhaps after a cooling off I may go back and I already have plans for a secquel.

Now I have to settle on a new project. Will decide tomorrow and start then.

I'm been writing everyday solidly for a few months now. Good for me!

9Jun2015 blue Tuesday

Down today for the first time in weeks. Managed to write some, but the amount was pathetic.

I swear sometimes when the sun doesn't shine I sink. I doubt, despair, and lament the waste of my life. Writing becomes a waste of time , a hopeless cause.

Back in the day I'd drown the shit with tons of beer.

Now I write. It's like the say, once you start things get better. There's something else to focus on that can be controlled and maybe made better.  :)

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!

19mar2015 the process

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!"
