WOTM Update: Reconstructing the Outline

I tried to start my next scene and came up against the realization that my outline was so screwed up by the places I’d wandered off to that I really couldn’t see where I was supposed to be going until I fixed it.  And rather than going right to work on fixing the upcoming, I [...]

WOTM Update: Finally

So it was almost a week since the last time I wrote anything, but I finally sat down and wrote a scene last night.  1384 words in which my bad guy imagined doing Very Bad Things to my heroine. 
 It was one of those–Perhaps I should consider a pseudonym– sort of scenes.  You know what I’m talking about?  [...]

WOTM Update: The Continuing Episodes of Fluff

WOTM Update: The Hills Are Alive

586 words yesterday.
I sort of skipped ahead just a bit.
I went out to run some errands.  I haven’t had so much of the driving around inspiration as I used to have.  Possibly because I haven’t been into a story enough to have it speak to me that way for some time, possibly because I need [...]

Updatey: Now With More Progress

Well, I guess I’ve mostly pulled out of my emo writer thing. 
I was thinking this morning that I wish I had more to say here.  This is my writing journal, so I don’t hop over here every day to talk about my daughter’s potty training or how I forgot the HVAC guy was coming yesterday [...]
