Happy New Year, a little belated.
Happy New Year everybody, and as usual, I’m a day late and a
dollar short. Anyway, yeah, I’ve been flaky again. I don’t even know what day I
last posted on, at least not without looking. I think it was Saturday or
something like that. Not sure.
Beyond that though, the process of moving is going ahead at
a snails pace. The work on my half trunked novel is going slowly. I’ve gotten
maybe one scene done a day. And, yeah, that’s slow, it’s not even two thousand
words a day. Generally I try to write a scene and a half, which comes out to
about two thousand words. One scene is roughly twelve hundred. And, when you’re
dealing with books that are going to be eighty, ninety, or a hundred thousand
words long, two thousand words just seems like a pebble dropped into a pond.
And, thinking about it right now is really not something I want to do.
Probably going to give Cold Lunch a rest until Friday; focus
on packing and such and trying to get all this crap moved. You never realize
how much stuff you have, until you have to move it from one place to another.
I guess that kind of works with writing too. Outlining is
like packing all the stuff up in your house, organizing it, and getting ready
to put it on the Uhaul. The Uhaul, in this case, is whatever medium you mean to
convey the story. For me, that medium is typically pen and paper, which makes
keeping up with the typing hard sometimes. And, the moving is actually moving
the story from your brain onto the paper. And, I just feel like I’ve ran out of
gas, and the walk to the nearest station is about ten miles.
I’m tired a lot anymore. I guess I’m in a spiral. And, now
I’m trying to depress everybody around me. So, I’m going to check out for the
day.
What’re your resolutions for the New Year, and who did you
kiss?

I don’t know, maybe we should all drink a little more beer.
