Self Doubt

I’m kind of surprised I don’t have a blog entry with this title yet. Give it time, I always want to recycle the good ones.Today, personal story meets writing moral. I think.I had a screaming bitching idea this morning for a later chapter in the novella...

Trying Too Hard

by | Sep 3, 2010 | Uncategorized

I had a brilliant blog idea last night. It was half-written in my head as I stumbled off to fall asleep. It was so brilliant that I had all but forgotten it by this morning.So instead, I’ll try too hard to make a loose connection to real life. Attempt inspired...

A Rule

by | Sep 2, 2010 | Uncategorized

Few things irk me – like hardcore irk – more than people spouting the rules of writing like they were scripture. However, my opinion on that is not this post, and will probably be at least one, if not many, others.However, I realized last night that I do...

Another Short Thought…and a Teaser

by | Sep 1, 2010 | Uncategorized

I have ideas. Like real, actual, writing ideas. I also have a hectic day of work ahead of me. Which isn’t exactly true. I have a full 8+ hours worth of time ahead of me before I get the results I want, but I spend about 80-90% of that waiting for my computer to...

Short Ping

I got to work at 7 this morning because I had two reports that had to be done by 8. I finished them both at 7:58 this morning, which was both unexpected and marvelous. At 8:20, I got an e-mail that the data I’d been using for reporting was bad. I’ve been...

The Rain…It’s No Secret

I wasn’t going to open with a personal story, but what the hell. If I try hard enough, eventually I’ll be able to relate everything in my life to my own personal philosphies about writing. About four months ago, I saw a shrink. Sorry…mental health...
