And She Goes On Wednesday, November 15, 2006 So, I had to update because I said I would...not that you missed my maundering son writing, eh? *teases* I stopped updating for many reasons. Too tired...though if you've kept an eye on the meter you've noticed it rise steadily, too depressed when i didn;'t like what i wrote but left in it, too worried that there might be a spoiler for Blue Moon, though the latter is doubtful. And Writing 2,000 words, then editing, posting, then writing about what i psoted, then editing it, then psoting that was just a little too much. But if you really miss the adventures of Monaco Johnson, I might be willing to post them. Ego boosts go a long way. (That's not a hint, actually. I shouldn't say it, now we fall into the trap where I feel embarrassed at waht looks like an attempt to plead for praise, but is, frankly, if you want soemthing, tell me, if you don't, forget about it. it's cool.) Part of the problem is the process of miraculous discovery. As I go I discover things, and think, "Ok, when i go back and second draft and fix what comes before this, this will be one excellenet scene." or, at least, make better sense. Right now I am learning my story, finding out what it needs. I adore this part, it is the cloest to being a reader a writer gets, the only time when we get surprised. Sometimes I hate it because it is also one of the hardest parts, trying to make all the words come out in a way that feels proper and correct. I don't mean grammar or whatever, I mean, rightness. You read soemthing and it all clicks into place, it all makes sense and feels real, no matter how fantastical it is. The truth is, at least the way i write, I start with an idea. A strong charatcer, a vision, then I follow my path from there. I may think I know where it;s going, but I learn that i am wrong. Itmay be why I started the story ages ago then put it aside...because I wasn't ready to write it, because iw as going down a path the story did not want to go. In anycase, I am alive. I am doing fairly well, the registration hasn't truly started yet so nothing's been too crazy. But most importantly...I'm half way done! *points to the meter* So if this did not work out exactly as I inteneded in any fashion, at least i can say that i am learning how to make time to write.
