writing interference

Not much interferes with my writing unless I allow it.

That’s the place in which I find myself at this point in my life. Writing is my cub & I’m a mama bear.

There are daily chores, like cleaning, cooking, or sometimes shopping. Beyond that, some activities that I participate in, like walking, serve my writing. Others—& really, this is true of life in general—it’s all material my writing feeds upon.

Chapter 26 is now in rough draft, despite a sick computer and a long talk about yuri with a yuri VN dev friend.

I'd like to get chapter 26 polished for beta by next week. But that is ambitious. I may have to settle for a rough of chapter 27.

What gets in the way of your writing?

Mostly me.

I can use that, though. I wrote a 6000 word short story over the weekend because I was supposed to be doing something else.

A sea of clock hands
grab at time,

seeking arms.

Had it been different
long ago,

the little hand
being named
the big hand

and vice versa

then we’d have
five dozens
to win it

and what seems
like ours, could
take hours

rather than minutes.

Back to the recent past, to write about a train. In pandemic time that was about a year ago, wasn't it?

I'm still writing the book, but as usual I can't resist coming up with graphics to hitch to it 😆

SLOW RENGA Respond with using the suggested first lines & start each haiku with the same first lines below: DISSONANCE… or LISTENING TO RAIN… Post haiku in comments, enjoy mulling over the first line and considering your options at different points during your day. Look forward to reading your haiku and seeing where these lines take you.

Hold callus in your hand.
Catch abrasions on knees.
Prepare skin for laceration.
When it comes, cradle it.
Gaping wounds don’t appear
overnight. Reassure it, aside
from the callous of the world,
it will always have a home
with you, as it weeps.

Went to and spent so much time around writers and ideas that I wrote an entire 6,000 word short story over the course of the weekend.

Worth it just for that.

Also, many lovely people and interesting presentations.

Kermit the Frog is typing very, very quickly. The ideas are flowing. He must catch them all before they stop, never to return.

#WritersCoffeeClub 5/20 -- When did you first know you wanted to be a writer?

Sophomore year of high school. I had an amazing English teacher who loved my reports and essays and encouraged me to focus on my writing.

It's taken...three decades, but I made it work so thank you, Mr. MacArthur!
