full moon

interruption

I may not write it at all.

I don't feel like....

- my efforts would make worth it

-my English / my writing style would make it acceptable, for why be mediocre? I'm to excel and I don't feel I can.

I'm not saying 'I'm sorry' for I am not. I don't wish to push myself into something I no longer believe in. I thought it would be a good idea, but now I dont.

I think I should be looking at the Moon instead.

to post or not to post

I don't write a single line these days...no wonder - the muse is repelled by the dust and upheaval we have in our house.

I am planning to continue whenever things have calmed down to an acceptable level. I guess it will be mid-September. Or early November, eeek.

Can the take a break that long without the risk of getting out of the habit of writing?

I think if there's something I have to write, I will write.

Now I don't have - but I'm not sorry about that.

My body's aching with hard work around the house and my mind is tired, too.

So, I think I'm taking a break from this blog for an undefined length of time, with the strong desire to return whenever possible.

The first job I'll be doing is outlining. My story is in need of one. You may think how stupid it is to start writing anything without a plot, a planned start and finish of events.

Well, that's just how it happened.

In the meantime I visit sites of writers and potential writers and learn a lot.

directions

I started writing in February with quite a core story, I liked it, others who read it in my other blog, said to have liked it too. Some even ventured to say they wanted a sequel or, expansion into a larger piece.

I was unsure about any continuation, but later on the story demanded more air and space within me, so I decided to go. That's when I started this very blog, in June.

Eversince I've been adding pieces to the original thing.

Sometime I got this feeling that the story goes into another direction. If I am to write 8-10 pages, those lines I wrote today for example, take the story into no other, new direction, cast no light onto the understanding the protagonist, onto a better getting the whole concept.

I can't seem to hold to the original idea.

I keep wandering into small descriptions. I lack actions. I don't really like how things have been going lately. I write - and I'm really happy about that. But what I write is another issue.

I will try to outline the story - too bad I have not done it YET: this will set the path of the story.

mixing up

I kind of wrote another piece today.

There are many pieces now, still not reaching 10 pages, as set forth at the beginning. I think I'm half way through with the story...in the sense of length.

Story-wise I don't really know.
One day I'll have to pick up the pieces and match them. Put them in the right order. Match dates, and other features of time, space and characters.
Now I tend to write impulsively and see where it leads me.
Perhaps, I should be getting more goal oriented now.
I'm learning new things about my own self and I like the process.
