Written Whispers

Okay, I am trying- that’s the keyword here, trying to be more productive in the wonderful world of my writing. I’m constantly inspired, practically exploding with ideas at every waking moment. I’ve mastered my craft to a decent level that I’m currently satisfied with. I’ve immersed myself in all things scribe’ful.

Now I just need to get something done. More than ‘something’ preferably but I’d take anything at this point. I have so many projects, ideas, plots, thoughts, and things that are just waiting on the skin of my brain to come out. So, tonight’s goal: finish five relatively small projects and start one medium’ish one. I’m not sure if this is asking too much or too little of myself but it felt like a good way to start and highly doubt I’ll run out of things to do.

That just doesn’t happen.

Anyways- as far as my five small projects go I figure I’ll go a little easy on myself and make two of them really easy. The first one is this post. It’s a great warm up to get my fingers going and turn my mind inwards and it tends to put me in the mood for working on bigger and better things.

The second project (no this won’t happen in the order of first and second but it helps me to say it that way) is another blog post I’ll probably be making later tonight, another Diary of an Edit but in order to do one of those I have to actually do some of my dreaded novel editing. :) You see how this works? Editing at least two pages will be another one of my projects.

The other two are more for other people than myself but it’ll still feel great to get them done. :) I have a drabble (from the wonderful world of fanfiction) that I’m going to write for a friend who’s sick and then a short, five chapter, story that I’m working on for Kei.

In overview:

1. This post
2. Edit some Kat’s Tail
3. Do ‘Diary of an Edit’
4. Drabble for Xean
5. A chapter for Kei
6. (bonus project if I’m feeling really productive when the others are done) Work on Solitary

As for the bigger project I’m going to start… it’s a toss up right now. I’ve had this wonderful plotness intruding in my dreams these past few night so I think I’m going to take my collective notes and try to write a vague outline of what I’ve got in my head and then dive in NaNo style and see where it leads.

Anyways, those are my plans for tonight and if I complete them I’ll probably indulge myself in another blog post to boast my tiny success but we’ll see. I have little faith in myself only before I’ve seen my track record. ;) Wish me luck.

PS- You know how I’ve been bitching about my huge keyboard lately? There’s one good thing I can say about it. I’m cold- I can’t type on my laptop with gloves on but I can over here. :) Another challenge to my poor little fingers but at least they’re nice and toasty.

PSS- I really must start my own dictionary someday. There are so many words in this post my poor little spell check doesn’t recognize. Lol.

Peace, love, and a tornado of words! I’ll catch up on comments possibly tonight though tomorrow is sounding more likely. Night. :)
