A Very Latte Sunday

Hello.  Hope all is well and you are safe.

Today is an early morning writing day with a latte.  I need this latte.

Time for some grattitude and journal time.  I alao need some creative time. The novella got some revisions and rewriting last night and I hope to add more lines today. Revised a scene I did earlier and started a new one. 

May need to back away from this story for a hot minute. Let abscenece take over. It only means I’ll return, IF I truly step away.  I need time to recharge my imagination for this stoy. Also I want the scenes I wrote to marinate.  I need to format the newer content and integrate them into the full story.

That said I had a vision for a new story and these two shouldn’t collide. 

Other than that I need to stay positive and focused. 

Happy creative endeavors.

Saturday and I Don’t Wanna Do Much

Hello.  Hope all is well and you are safe.

Its Saturday and I dont wanna do much.  I need to finish this coffee and get something to eat.  Maybe then I’ll have that pep I need to get going.  

I mean creative-wise.  Not sure where I’m going.   For the past few days I had scenes in my head ready to write.  Today is fresh and blank.  Its the perfect day for my five sentence minimum. 

My goal for this new writing is that the content counts. So far all the newer scenes add to the text and expand the short story into a novella. This reminds me to go back to some scenes and format them. I may find some rewriting in there as well. 

A blog post is always a good way to start writing in my day.  Im.sure I’ll come up with something positive to contribute. 

Happy creative endeavors.

Get Into the Vibe

Hello.  Hope all is well and you are safe.

I exceeded my writing quota for the day, which is excellent. Fam came through and needed to talk so I had to put it away, so I couldn’t touch it up as planned. So now I’m reminded to get a blog post in as well.

The writing session felt good and I am grateful for the creative output.  I need to clean it up, but in due time.

Its hot putsode and I have a few things to take care of.  For example I want to make sure my.plant nursery is tended to.  Its also hot outside and humid.  Cant escape it.  I suppose there is worse to contend with. 

Let me go do the things. 

Happy creative endeavors.

And the Beat Goes on

Hello.  Hope is well and you are safe.

I already made my story quota for the day and possibly have more to write.  A different scene and I will write out my five sentences and possibly more. I jave the idea.  I just need rye scene to be clear in my head. Then it’s down to paper and file.

Been telling myself to print the first five to ten pages out and edit them.  That way I can get more of it completed. Its a process.

I did run errands and now I’m making a pitcher of sweet tea.  I have to add the lemon after it cools down which reminds me that I should have bought ice when I was out and about. 

Happy creative endeavors.

A Later In The Day Post

Hello.  Hope all is well and you are safe.

This week had stress.  Lots stress.  Im annoyed.  That said we keep it moving over here.  I need to write.  Let’s start with a blog post.

Its hot outside.  Too hot but not the hottest.  It took me a long time to cool down.  All from running errands. 

Did writing yesterday for the story.  Nothing yet today. Perhaps I’ll get a late afternoon burst of creativiry. We shall see. I have an idea.  I’m a go jot it down now.

As always, happy creative endeavors.

This is a Groove

Hello.  Hope all is well and you are safe.

I did do mt daily writing yesterday and exceeded my minimum, so I’m good with that output.  It needs a mad touch up.  I do love the voice I gave a character, so he’s on the right track. This beat needs a thorough clean up.  All in due time.

I had some personal setbacks today and like any good content they make great material for my content. When life give me chaos it also gives content. Even when I fall off my creative wagon, I betta fall back on it.  Everything is so ripe for exploring. 

Happy creative endeavors.

Slo Mo Day

Hello.  Hope all is well and you are safe.

Today is slow motion day.  I started out discombobulated and slowly got myself together.  I need to write and its only now that I remind myself to put down some words.

I do have an idea for a scene. Let’s see if i.put it together to qualified to meet the minimum. My minimum is five full sentences.  Of course I can write more than that but it’s good to have a small quota to push myself into writing.

Let me go write it down. 

Happy creative endeavors.

When My Stories Need Developing

Hello.  Hope all is well and you are safe.

I feel a little discombobulated, but thats fine.  I have some tasks to get underway. Writing is one of them. 

Wrote more for the current story.  I’m curious as to when im going to ast down and reorganize my thoughts on this story and add the new content so it fits seamlessly. I did want the colldown tume time to leave the content be and see it with fresh eyes. 

I may switch to writing something else to  get my mind off this current story. Not sure yet.  I keep having beats of story surface.  None of the content i worked on feels like fluff, padding, or irrelevant. That said I love that I could go back and add content.

I need to print the story out and possibly hand edit it myself. I may find scenes i want to elaborate upon.  As a professor once said to me, “writing is rewriting.”

Stories can be those relationships that aren’t really over until we feel it. I mean I thought getting it to a complete draft was the start of completion.  Moths later its still hanging with me.  I’m grateful for the opportunity to improve the content. 

Happy creative endeavors.

Slow Mo Morning

Hello.  Hope all is well and you are safe. 

Im in slow motion today.  I’m a mess cause I can’t focus. At least not until I have my coffee.  That’s underway. 

The temps and weather shifted from hot and humid to cool and rainy.  My plants need sun but in this dim lit rainly skies theu gonna have less sun. 

Fall about to pop up in a matter of months.  My plants need that sun. It aggressively triggers my sinuses. Fun times.  I gotta take my sinus meds.

I did write yesterday and completed a simple beat.  It felt like it fit.  It goes into the “cooldown” file so I can leave it be and return to revise it later.

My water is ready.  Time for coffee.

Happy creative endeavors.

When Does the Story End?

Hello.  Hope all is well, and you are safe.

I’m reflecting on how many smaller scenes I worked on for a story I initially thought was done in Novemeber.  It went through  a real cooldown period.  I will say once I stopped writing a few things happened.

In December I realized I knew how the characters looked but I didn’t write that down, so I added descriptions.  That was that.  I made it to first draft.

Fast forward to this month and I have new passages.  Elaborations and additions to this story.  I love it. Wasn’t expecting it.  I wrte at least two scenes that made the charter feel a bit more real to me.

I am going to add these revisions into the story soon.  Then I’m going to take some genuine time to edit this story.  I think it’s a solid story.  Doe sit have an ending? Yes.  The rewriting is serious business though.

Happy creative endeavors.
