April! Really? Are you kidding?!


Today's Writing Quota (What I Plan to Do): 1000

Friday’s Quota (What I did): 918

Today's Writer’s Quote: Writing is a socially acceptable form of schizophrenia  ~E.L. Doctorow

Today's thoughts: Characters are busy talking to me again. I am doing my best to keep up with the conversations. Two new stories are pushing their way to the front of the line. I have come to accept that the novel I typed out in December may take a long time to fix. I’ve been on chapter one now for four months. (Can you believe it is April already?) I changed the setting, the time, the POV – I know the story is good. I just have to figure out the beginning. In the meantime, I am typing out plenty of other ideas and conversations for other books, short stories, and possibly a play. I love that I am inspired to start so many projects but I am also eager to finish one. Perhaps after I am done with my current class I will get a chance to workshop something and complete it. 

Todays great find: If I loved you...Robin Black - read this! This is what writing should look like!
