I’ve been reading and writing a lot. Sorry to have been so absent. But things are mostly fine here. I have some insomnia lately, but that just goes with the mania.
The book is coming along. I’m in chapter 5 and I think I like the world I’m creating. I think it is making some sense and it’s flowing into the framework of the plot I have worked out. Trish is reading it as I finish chapters. But really, finish is kind of a vacant term. It’s such a rough draft that sometimes I change the names of the character’s in mid sentence. Scary really.
I took a few days and read the entire Twilight series. In one sitting, pretty much. I sat down with the box set last Tuesday and came up for air a few times, and finished on Sunday. Very refreshing. I feel like a teenager again.
I watched two movies today, too. The Land of Women I can reccommend and What Just Happened, which was complete dreck. Avoid it at all costs. Well, back into the pages and the up-all-nights. I’ll be back soon.
Ahhhh, so you’re “epbush”. I’ve seen you comments on Alias Mother. You are a very funny lady (loved your comment when A.M. was considering sending her Buddha to be with the in-laws – it was brilliant).
Thanks, I love A.M. She’s funnier than me!
I just stumbled on your blog while lurking around other blogger’s blogroll since I can’t get around to writing my own post. Too much work.
I love it.
Thanks again. I’ve been neglecting it while I write my book. My blog and my kids are going to call the authorities on me. Get it Author-ities!!!! HA ha. Neglect is so funny.
How did you start writing your book? Did you start with a plot or with a character? Have you ever written a book before? I admire your mania.
I started with a feeling that I would die a horrible death if I didn’t write, and had nothing worth writing about. I started with an idea to create a world that was mine to control. I have never written a book before, but I had been a professional writer for several years before my family came along.
I always dreamed I would write a book “someday”, so I started a blog to start writing on a regular basis. What I found was all these brilliant writers blogging who write so much better than I ever could. I put the dream aside.
So now I’ll live vicariously. Keep writing.
I don’t know if what I am writing is any good, I just know I am writing. It could be dreck and painful to read, but hey, Clive Cussler gets published, so hope springs eternal.
