Disappearing blog posts
So, um, there have been difficulties, of a technical nature. We lost some blog posts. But don't cry. If memory serves they weren't terrific. Mostly all about my planned rigorous writing schedule, which I'm happy to announce has begun!
So book #2 moves apace and I spend lots of time in my room at my desk, typing. In fact my day is pretty tightly constricted into boxes of time, with little to none left for things that don't involve: eating/showering/working/putting clothes on/changing clothes/exercising/reading/writing/writing/writing/thinking about writing. In some ways, this compact schedule is almost liberating in its, you know, lack of freedom. Sort of how I envied kids in private school who wore uniforms because they never had to deliberate about what to wear in the morning.
Plus it's a lot easier to focus on your characters when your interactions with real people are limited. Of course I work 9-5, so it's not as though I'm holed up at home, seeing no one. Never fear. I haven't turned all Nicholson in The Shining just yet.
And yesterday, somewhat out of the blue, I had an idea for a new book. Even if it comes to naught it's good to have ideas and I was very mildly worried, because I've honestly had no ideas about what will come after I'm done with this one. Whereas the idea for book #2 came right on the heels of finishing book #1. Sometime I think half of this writing game is worrying. I suppose that's good news, because boy, am I good at that.
Okay. I'm gonna hit save and publish. Let's see what happens.
