With coffee and writing implements at hand, I can determine the shape of today. |
I tend to write in the morning. After morning coffee and writing comes whatever the day holds...work, more writing, family time, reading, maybe even some gaming. It just depends...but writing first, always. And once I start writing, I get an idea not only of what I'm writing about, but how the rest of my day will go. Hence, the shape of today. |
I mentioned my NaNoWriMo idea on Gallifrey Base, a Whovian forum I frequent. Immediately another member began encouraging me to write a scene or some dialogue to get the juices flowing. So I suppose I'd better update Scrivener (it's uniquely suited to this) and get started. I'd be lying if I said I weren't intimidated a little. Starting to write seriously again is one thing, but with a fanfic? Uncharted territory for me. I never gave much thought to personifying my muse, but here we are. It turns out he's a Scottish actor and says I should play with his most famous character to rebuild my writing fire: I've also seen him be a lover, a supervillain, a spy, a brooding, amoral murderer, and a duck. For this, however, his eccentric alien hero will do. As another character in that universe told him: "You watch us run!" |
Update my blog, WDC? Okay, quickly, because I've got a lot to do today. Recently rebooted my account, and also pinned the NaNoWriMo site back to my main taskbar. Suffice it to say I've got an idea percolating. But if it's going to work I've got to get back into the habit of writing daily, and here is as good a place as any to begin. So I'll try to hop into a few contests here, do some reviewing when time permits, and see if I can get that muse of mine coaxed into action. It shouldn't take much to get him started. Now, let me see if I can get myself started... |
