Who, me? Why aren't I writing? Um....
I did about a week and a half ago. Write. Fiction even.
Actually, I've had maybe 2-3 hours a week lately to work on writing activities. Two weeks ago I added scenes to what I'm calling Appearance of Impropriety, also known as Claire and Helmut's story, that I posted to this blog sometime last summer. The week before (actually, probably 2 weeks before that), I spent worrying over my sci fi, and finally entered the first chunk + a synopsis into a contest. Its kind of hard to write a synopsis for a book that's not complete. I made something up. I'm pretty sure the story is heading that way...
I've also joined a new crit group with some friends from RWA. Our chapter has a regular crit group, but it's so large (like 20+ people), and you only get to read your stuff about 2x a year. There are 8 of us in thsi small group, and we'll meet on weeks that the other group doesn't, and (assuming I'm writing), I can read a small piece every week. I'm psyched. They got to meet Claire and Helmut last week. After that contest entry, I didn't have the heart to keep up with Myrrah and Dominic and their whole psychic alien semi-truck chase. It will come back around, though.
Hopefully, some other stuff in my life is settling back down for a bit. I'm taking some web design classes, and I'm past 6 solid weeks of 2 night a week classes. The rest of them should be spread out a lot thinner, which is good for both my children and my writing.
So, what about you? Why aren't you writing?
