#40222 - 03/29/05 01:15 AM Writing time!
Julie Member Registered: 03/18/03 Posts: 332 Loc: Australia	Have to share that I wrote 1700 words yesterday which for me is a minor miracle - especially as the entire family was home. I just let the cooking and washing happen around me and wrote. Strangely enough, although I have a bit of time and solitude this morning I'm having trouble settling...I'm really not a morning person!

angelsmuse Member Registered: 11/12/04 Posts: 170 Loc: Pennsylvania	Wow that's really great Julie. I had trouble writing this past weekend and am hoping to lift myself out of this rut very soon because I have a lot of projects that need my attention. Angel PS If you need some writing projects I'm sure I could send you a few

Julie Member Registered: 03/18/03 Posts: 332 Loc: Australia	Hope you'll find the time you need - and I hope that I can repeat yesterday. All I did this morning was send out some poetry. Putting off re-reading yesterday's effort in case I hate it! Hope to do some editing this evening. What are you working on?

Katrinka Member Registered: 03/25/05 Posts: 208 Loc: Central Pennsylvania	Congrats! I can wholeheartedly relate to not finding much writing time. I, too, am not a morning person. I do hope you're able to find more time, and get on a roll. Marie

meredithbead The Divine Ms M Registered: 07/07/03 Posts: 4894 Loc: Orange County, California	Julie, I just realized how monumental that is. I spent 6 hours writing today, and all I did was add 400 words to an existing essay. I'm slow and you're aweso me!

Julie Member Registered: 03/18/03 Posts: 332 Loc: Australia	Meredith, that seems like it will be my effort for the entire week...I still haven't re-read it, for fear it will all be dreadful - but I must finish it before Saturday. Maybe tonight! I'm very insecure about prose writing, for some reason. Thanks for the encouragement.

Julie Member Registered: 03/18/03 Posts: 332 Loc: Australia	Guess what, I read what I had written, and it wasn't all that bad! I added 500 words to one story and put it in a competition - took the other one raw to a critique session and got great feedback. I'm feeling so happy about it - although this week is filling up with other stuff I am hopeful of having another burst of creativity somewhere along the way. Have you ever noticed that just when you get one part of your life humming along nicely something else breaks down? Isn't it hard to keep everything going?!! (Speaking as a woman, here.) Chatty, I painted my fingernails for the first time in years last weekend. It does slow the typing a little but it a novelty (pun unintended!) for me just now...

Louisa Member Registered: 07/11/04 Posts: 2132 Loc: MA	1700 words in one day! That's an accomplishment. You're fingers must be worn to the bone. I'd say you they deserve a little nail polish. Way to go! Louisa
