gallifreyangothMmkay. It's been just over a month since I've updated this. It's also been just over a month since I've done really any writing work at all. I did a litte work on Gaidin, but nothing stellar.
Lately, it's really been bugging me. Since I stopped working at CL, I really haven't had anything to do. I've been home almost the entire time (minus 4 days in Mexico), and mainly have just been doing a lot of reading and housework. It looks like I'll have at least another week or two of time off (which sounds nice, but it's not like I'm getting paid here, so it's really not nice). I really need to get my act together here.
Today, I pulled out Stolen and re-read it. It was the first story that I sat down and wrote, start to finish, in one sitting. It only needed minor corrections the next day to finish it off. It got good responses from everyone I've shown it to. Most people said they wished there was more. So, today I made more. First of all, I took the original story and went through it, adding more description and back story where it would fit. My plan after that was to go to the next part, next chapter, whatever, and keep going from there. Once I got to the point to start that, I decided I wasn't ready, and rewound a bit. I started writing an earlier scene, and it went rather well. All in all, I wrote about 1,030 words that I'm really happy with. It also wasn't too dificult, and it's left me with excitement for what happens next. I fully intend on picking it up tomorrow and writing at least another 1000 words on it (maybe quite a bit more, as I have no plans whatsoever for tomorrow).
A good day, I think. I need more of this.
