| Hey there, I noticed it's your birthday. Hope you have a good one! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! |
| Thanks to Twitter, I'm learning to write more concisely. I enjoy the exercise and I'm gathering followers. It won't bode well for Nanowrimo, though, because word count is more important than style or content in November. In addition, it takes more time to express a whole idea in a single Tweet than in a long article. I don't know if I'll be able to keep my inner editor away from my novel when it's used to having free rein. |
| Awake in the night again. I've checked my emails and portfolio, amended my bio, and I'm now getting ready to go to Twitter. I really appreciate the loan of a single bedroom and the gift of this smartphone. I must thank the people who made productive insomnia possible. |
| I need to re-introduce writing into my life but I'm really busy, being torn in all directions by responsibilities and desires. If I leave it much longer, though, I'll get completely out of practice in doing anything creative with writing tools. Therefore, my goal until the end of October is to write a diary / daily journal entry every day. (After all, I love writing about myself, and reading it all back, later.) |
| Once again, I'm awake in the night. This time, it's 2 am, which is unusual for me, but broken nights have been part of my life since my first pregnancy. Before that, it was late nights writing, early mornings programming, or all night study sessions. Maybe those exciting times will come again. |
| I'm looking forward to July Camp; to completing the first draft of the teen novel I started in April Camp. I've found good character questionnaires to help me get to know my characters before I work out the plot. |
| I've just edited an item in my portfolio: |

I'm using them today because I was feeling at a loss, having used up all my usual pastimes while waiting for my son's meal to finish cooking.
Sorry this response is so late. I've only just got back into writing and, luckily, WdC sent me a link to reset my password - they must have known the previous one was lost in the mists of time...
