Love Song For My Backlit Keyboard
Midnight is a good time for silent little blog posts. I’ve been floundering a bit, folks. Barely wrote this weekend. Didn’t blog. I wish my blog was more interesting, but I am also wary of posting my raw work-in-progress on here. Sorry.
I’m going to try something new next week. I don’t think the blog is really working for me – it feels like a pointless effort to come on here and dutifully post my word count. Kinda boring. Mostly just underlines the aloneness of writing, like shouting into a quiet night sky with not even an echo. Also, I want to play around with what works for me as a working writer. So, I’m taking this show on the road next week. I’m going to try writing in various places around the neighborhood, see if I write better or worse than in my own home. I’m guessing better – there is plenty of distraction around here.
I’m still going to blog every day or so, but I’m not going to focus on word count, re: boring and lonely.
Total Project Word Count: 21 thousand-or-so words
Emily— Keep at it dear. I’m reading!
I say: Do what you have to! For me, posting my numbers every day was crucial. I felt like someone would call me out if I didn’t get my daily goal, though no one did. But I can see where that wouldn’t work for everyone. Just keep doing what you’re doing, Emily!
Yeah hey, I’m here now, and I may not be a head whip-cracker, and you’re still in charge of the parameters, so I won’t give you too much shit if you say not too. but I will if I feel it’s within my right as an endearingly abusing older brother.
