Thursdays are hard, and I think I'm getting a cold. I managed to get an outline of my story's plot and scenes down on paper--a small victory for me, as this is a real weakness. I also got some lines I like to travel out of my brain and through my fingers into the google doc. My Gotham deadline is 1/31--during AWP.
A long time ago, Mitch gave me the DaVinci quote: art isn't finished, it's abandoned, and this, my first Gotham story, one I began in my grad school foray back in 1997, will be put in the mail after I get booth comments. I'm pretty sick of it.
I posted a link to this new blog at the Yahoo Group: http://writetodone.com/
It's the Zen habits take on writing. I have a writing tip. Stop reading writing tips and get to work. I'm talking to myself, so don't be mad.
I'm down to one Scrabble game. The site on facebook went down for a couple hours this afternoon and the world nearly screeched to a halt. Even though I need to cut back on playing, I would hate to lose my 113-game history and rating of nearly 1700. And no, I do not cheat.
All right, I have to go put some zinc up my nose...about as much fun as it sounds!

Hope the cold is short-lived.
How often do you plot out stories? I'm not very good at it...I inevitably end up deviating almost immediately.
Thanks, Alex :)
I don't plot that often, and when I deviate.
