Topic: WC - Progress Log
Sunday 3:09pm 10Sept06
I have to admit that I haven't been doing as much work on White Wishes as I would like. I still get pulled away by household chores and the like. It's a continual work in progress trying to balance everything. There are things I have to do everyday without fail like braid my hair (otherwise I scare myself), make my juices (it's time consuming but for my health), and do some sort of work out (still feel like I'm not doing enough of that). I like to say that I could let my apartment go and not be too focused on being a clean freak but by the same token I can't be a dirt freak either. I'm continually trying to clear the clutter. sigh!
Enough with the excuses...
I am managing to blog pretty much everyday. The blogging is my writing scales. A musician practices everyday and a writer must do the same. I am doing the writing practice. I've also been keeping a hand written journal of thoughts and the like. And I've been writing poetry (my friend John calls his Riffing, I think I'm going to use/steal that term). Men always make me Riff. Riffing is a way of getting my thoughts out quickly so I can go and do what I need to do.
So overall I feel happy about what I'm accomplishing but I need to crack down on the novel. I still have to transcribe all the digital recordings I have that include ideas and comments and direction for White Wishes.
I want White Wishes completed to the point where I can step away from it in November for Nanowrimo and give it a good read through in December to work on the re-write.
There's my goal out there! Need to email that to myself, post it on my bathroom mirror and in my writing space and on the fridge and sit down and write like mad.
