I don't have a lot to say lately, as some may have noticed. I'm working on my WIP a lot, and my life is pretty monotonous otherwise. I get up, read blogs, go to work, come home, read blogs, write if I can, then go to bed early. There's rarely any variation to this.
While my mind is on my story, I'm very focused and often tune out all other things. I'm obsessive compulsive so will do one thing until I absolutely HATE it, then find something new to obsess over. This is greatly affected by my short attention span.
So, the only thing I can share regarding writing today is a short little thing that popped into my head. It's a writer's re-write to the opening of Poe's The Raven. Enjoy.
Once upon a midnight query, I did edit 'week' and 'dearie'
Over many a bland sentence until my eyes were sore.
While I plodded, nearly slapping, my forehead for the plot gapping,
As someone twittered they'd be napping, napping at ten 'til four
''Tis unheard if,' I muttered, 'napping at ten 'til four -
The butt in chair, 'tis what writing's for.'
Ridiculously short, yes? Blame my attention span.
It's Friday, so on Twitter I see #FollowFriday for pointing out good followers. On Wednesday they do #WriterWednesday for fellow writers. I'm tempted to do #MoronMonday, but I do not know certain coworker's Twitter names.
Everyone have a great weekend!
PS My contest is still open until July 4th. I hope to get some more entries, of course :-)

Short, but cute and accurate! :D I'm in a similar place right now. MONOTONY, UGH.
ReplyDeleteThat's great that you can stay focused when you're working on your story. Even though I feel like I spend a lot of time writing, I also feel like my mind is racing a million places at once lately.
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend!
Well, at least SOMEONE is writing. Glad you're being productive. I, however, am stuck in Little League tournament hell for the next few days. :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome you are getting so much writing done! Your Poe rewrite is cute. :)

I'm still trying to cook something up for your contest but my wip has been pretty demanding. Love your short rewrite of the raven. :)
ReplyDeletehope you had a productive weekend!
Monotony beats having people shoot at you. I least that's what I tell myself. It doesn't help.
ReplyDeleteUntil people start shooting at me, then it's all "I want my monotony back!"
Have a great new week, Roland
