Written Whispers

I like Tuesdays. Why? Well, mostly because it’s payday and I don’t usually work. :) That and, for me, it’s the beginning of my week. Mondays are part of the weekend as far as my schedule is concerned where Tuesdays on the other hand are the one day I have that I can/will spend catching up on everything I won’t have time to do when I get back into the rest of the week.

So, to commemorate my Tuesday’ness I’m going to start posting my writerly accomplishments for the week (starting from last Tues.). They’re not anything big, just things I’ve managed to tick off my to-do list-finishing things is a big deal for me so I figure if I make a post about it I’m more likely to do it. ;)

In Progress:

1. Tell Me – A drabble for Xean, a.k.a. a pointless/plotless fanfic for a friend. Somehow, goodness only knows, it turned into a two or three chapter short story. She must have been more sick than I thought for my muse to favor her so.
2. WEWNaCat – Took a refresher look over all related files so I can start working on it again now that I have the required sunshine in my life to do so. :)

Finished:

1. Dearest – Went over it, took some things in a different direction, and polished up. Retitled Hand-Me-Down and finished thanks to some wonderful help from Jessie (pointing out the voice thing really helped me bring this piece together. Thx!).
2. Organized all my folders on the big computer and backup USB, making sure all folders/files/etc were on both. Don’t know why I procrastinated this quite so much since in the end it turned out to be pretty easy.

Unexpected:

1. Created a whole new Word document of possible poem snippets.
2. Penned a short story at work and retyped it as soon as I got home. Titled it Just Another Day and added it to my folder of extremely first drafts.
3. Wrote something random in less than 600 words and somehow came up with Umbrella Man. Also added to the folder of extremely first drafts.
4. Discovered a new style of writing I want to look into.
5. Half outlined a short story idea, Sight Blind.
6. Mentally picked a domain and made an outline of the site and template I want to have for this one writing thing. I’ll tell you about it in the future.

Failures of the week:

1. I didn’t do any editing on Kat’s Tale.
2. I didn’t make the deadline for this one contest I wanted to participate in (again) because life ate my soul (again).
