Slowly Catching Up

Filed Under Art of Writing, Novel In Progress, Personal 

Man, I’m really falling behind on things, especially posting here. This sucks. It all goes back to my stopping using Simple-ology. I wasn’t using it faithfully, or the way it is “designed” to be used, but it did keep me on track and I got stuff done. I have to start using it again or I’m never going reach my goals.

I’m incredibly behind in doing crits for my writing group. Again. I have legitimate reasons why, but I still feel guilty about it. Today’s crits owed count is 2 down, 11 to go. It’s not normally so many, but everyone is trying to get their novels (or big sections of them) done before the year is over.

To help me get back on track for my writing, and so that I don’t have so many problems with my hands, I bought a new headset and mike. It’s much better than the one that came with Dragon NaturallySpeaking. I’m not having nearly the problems I had when I first used the program a couple of years ago. I wonder how much of that was just the sucky mic, or if it was because this time I had it scan through files on my computer to get a getter idea of what I write to flesh out the dictionary.

Oh yeah. Something else I picked up to help with my trying to meet my goals is Holly Lisle’s Holly Lisle’s How To Find Your Writing Discipline. I haven’t read it yet, but I hope I’ll find something useful in it.

Finally, I managed to get Chapter 5 of TMA out the door yesterday to my writing group. It’s not finished. There’s a section in it that’s really just notes about part of the scene that I just couldn’t figure out how to write. I just couldn’t get past it, so I finally said enough and moved on. By the time I get back to it, I’ll hopefully have figured it out.
