Well, it's time to face the music.
I haven't been writing.
And this is a writing blog.
So... no blogging has happened. (Revelation!)
But what has happened is in the past. And all I can do is decide what to do with the time given me.
There will be a day when I give up, a day of unfinished stories, blotted ink, and deleted files, when the work of years comes crashing down. But it is not this day!
This day, I write!
Here's the idea: I'm going to go back to the beginning. Back to November 2010, when my writing changed from the standard 'masterpiece-of-an-amateur-writer-that-he's-been-working-on-forever' to something... different. I fell in love with writing all over again. I actually wrote something worth reading. And my writing has never been the same since.
So that's where I'll go, to Freeborn and Freegiven, and give it the edit it deserves. Now, the plan is to continue on to the next book I wrote, and so on until I've caught up with myself, but of course there'll be a break for this year's NaNoWriMo, and some other plot bunny will catch my attention... But that's the plan.
But even the most well-thought out plan can fail without a drive to complete it. And so many resolutions and goals have failed because there was nothing pushing from behind. So, here's the clinch.
Every week I must edit/write at least one full chapter, and have to show proof here. That's where you all come in. Your job is to keep me accountable; keep pushing me onward.
Sound clear enough? Good. Now let's see if I can do this. :)
I wish you luck, valiant sir! *salutes* My armies are ever at your back should you call upon them!
ReplyDeleteGood luck, sir! ((I appreciated the Lord of the Rings-related quote, by the way. XD))
ReplyDeleteFOR FRODO!!!
ReplyDelete*cough*
I mean yes, good sir, carry on with full force, that we may soon see the fruits of thine labor! Very good, very good.
Yup, do it. I look forward to reading and will pounce if your chapter isn't posted. Count on it. ;)
