A Journal to impart knowledge and facts |
July 22, 2015 I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done. I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them. I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC. |
Regarding your craft of writing, is there something specific you want to improve on or give more attention? What steps will you take to motivate yourself? A day without sunshine is like, you know, night. Steve Martin Read more at: https://www.brainyquote.com/topics/funny I don't think I need motivation as much as I need space. My computer is in the same room as the TV. It's difficult to compete with the sound. My earphones are not sound deadening types. I have lots of writing how to books where I can actually seek good advice. I have tried to stop and say OK now what? When I do, I can write. I'm actually thinking of moving my desk and computer which will be a major job. And, I have not figured out where to move it which will be a beneficial space for more privacy and quiet. I think better when it's quiet. Sound drives me nuts. I can't type with a lot of intrusion from background noise. I never read in a room that has a TV or music playing. I've discovered technology on Amazon which would assure me of WiFi, wherever I move, in the house. In the meantime, I just keep plodding on. I have to consider both summer and winter seasons as the house is at different temperatures in different rooms. I really don't want to lose my window to the outdoors while I compute. Just lots to consider. apondia#1781748 |
