Writing on writing

Hi Ho it's off to work

Even though I'm SICK, and even though I'm IN PAIN Bethie expects me to maintain my writing buzz! What a slave driver no? Ok, so it's kind of exciting and I'm not actually resentful. I have written, writing has happened in the recent past. Because of a number of unfortunate events that include way too much homework at once and various obligations I found myself immediately torn from that beautiful document which is now open on my desk top. I was torn from it and unable to return for those same reoccurring reasons, it was ever so tragic! Now though, now I should be free. I have goals for today, but they are so far fetched that it's unlikely that I'll actually be able to achieve them, AND do my reading, AND go out shopping for some necessary house hold items that my parents hate shopping for on their own now that they don't have a car. Enough said.

Beth was none too pleased when I told her that I'd written in both the open documents at my disposal. I don't blame her one bit. She understood though when I told her that I had to write in book one because she left it as an open scene, and my head was immediately able to finish that open scene that stopped mid-sentence. What's a writer to do?

The second bit was a Taryne part in book two, and I have to say that while my Taryne part a few submissions ago was excellent I'm not feeling as comfortable on this. I feel that now that this part has been written I need to start getting to some serious plot developing action, and while well I know what is going to happen, I'm having a hard time developing that catalyst for evil deeds. I'm good at mid-evil and ending evil, but every now and then it's hard to get a villain's project rolling, especially when there's so much red tape standing in their way. I'm so happy dabbling in their world and manipulating details that I must keep in mind the prime objective of getting that girl out their and wreaking some havoc! Of course, she'll be wreaking havoc while having an affair with one of the most beautiful men at court. WOOT!

I've got to think of some further Fraser to start writing as well, simply because I'm metaphysically really understanding what's happening and where he is. I'm getting the poltergeist/land spirit phenomena and I'm in tune with the Torhenbah way or being (spell check just told me that I had spelled Torhenbah incorrectly, and I tried to ask it how to fix it, only to realize that I made the word up... you'd think I'd know that).

Needless to say, hopefully I'm back on track. I've got to get into my writing habit again. So hard to develop, so easy to break!
