I”m not sure what my problem is with my WIP. I just checked my records, and up until about two months ago, I was averaging just about 460 words a day, as was writing pretty steadily – at least every other day. Then it just stopped. Did the story really dry up, or was I just getting lazy? The more I’m thinking about it, I vote for lazy. I say that because it occurred to me last night that I’ve been looking at my writing as a hobby, not as anything really serious, like an occupation or job, or source of income. When I sent an email out to several people about the Blog Fiction Project, I even made light of my writing. Heck, more people who know me know that I’m a Christian than know about my writing, and I don’t broadcast my faith (which is another issue I need to work on, but that’s a different post).
Anyway, last night as I was watching the kids take their baths, I got just over 400 words written, and it feels like I’ve got a lot to say today, so maybe I’m finally getting serious about it.
Trying to discover what you meant is rather frightening, and I try not to scare myself like that more than I have to.
Yeah, yeah. Maybe I meant serous. You ever think about that? Hunh? Didya?
And you might try working on your spelling while you’re at it.
I vote for lazy. But then, I guess it takes one to know one.
