it's a convoluted mess
I’ve been trying to get some writing done. I’m pretty sure half the posts for the last six months or more have started with that line, or some variation thereof. I’ve been jumping from project to project all over the place and I have this notion in my head that I need to pick one project and stick with it. It’s not a crazy notion by any means. I just can’t decide which project I… Keep reading…Never comes out right…
I’m revisiting an old story project I started roughly eight years ago. I had a lot of hope for it at the time, but it was a struggle to accomplish much writing on it. I realized, after beating it into submission several times over, that one of the main characters was the problem. Other characters were properly constructed, but one…just wasn’t working.

MS Word keeps a running word count of a given document in the bottom corner of the screen. I know it’s not entirely accurate as it seems to count every so many spaces as words, but I figure it can’t be that far off from the actual numbers.

In the meantime, I’m fighting with WordPress trying to get a theme to work… Keep reading…Sleep is for the weak…
I have a lot of notes for my various writing projects. A lot of them are from back when I had a job. Something would pop into my head that sounded good and I knew I’d forget it by the time I got home, so I’d put it in a email to myself. I’ve been going through those notes a lot lately, looking for ideas and inspiration. A good chunk of those notes are for… Keep reading…Scribbled…
The battle to get something written wages on. I keep looking at projects I have in the works, ideas I have brewing, and everything eventually seems to circle back around to the same plan. I’m starting to think I should just quit trying to find something else to work on and just work on that one. I also need to stop trying to over-plan every last detail of said story and just write it. I… Keep reading…Circles…
