Did You write? 09-07-09
.
Many who read this are writing more than once a week. Some of the rest of us need prodding to get regular production. That is what this note is about. the idea is that you will see this note coming each and every week on the same day. This note asks you to report what writing you have done or why you have not written this week. Having to report that you did not write at some time during the week is intended to prompt you to write, anything, so you can brag about your accomplishments.

AS to what is writing, that is up to opinion. I post a list of what can be writing. It is not comprehensive, and most of us will disagree with some of the items listed. There are things not on the list that you may well think of as writing. It is more about your opinion, than ours.
New writing, is always writing. Editing, is also writing, even if it is the work of someone else, because only a few of us can create perfection first time. We have to edit, some of us never stop editing as we cannot get our work to that level.
Poetry, article writing, writing assignments, Blogging, Technical articles, are also writing. character development and world building is also writing, as long as something gets on paper. E-mails can also be writing, as long as they pertain to writing or story, and are very wordy. Other things may be writing, if you decide it is writing.

As for me, Yes I did write. I am still working on my Waxy Dragon birth story, creating the foundation for the entire series. I am in the process of creating new scenes to the original plot. It is working pretty good. I try to use as much of the old writing as possible, but so much of it is getting tossed, due to the new story changes due to discussions with my writing partners.
AS it is, I added 1677 words and three pages. This includes zapping entire paragraphs as I was going. I like what I am creating. The original two page story idea is now 34 pages and likely to be 50 pages when done. I would say it is among the best writing I have done, which is not saying much.

I am still doing my story ideas. I am still keeping up with the posts in spite of having some hectic evenings. I have not been coming up with loads of new story ideas, one here or there at most. At this moment, I have 38 story ideas in my compost pile. At times, I get dry spells where I wonder if I will ever get a new concept, then other times the ideas flow like mad. I never know where my concepts will come from and when they will come. As an example, Over this past month, I had several story ideas that originated from commercials I saw recently. I usually try to explain the silliness they show to make it logical.
at the moment, the ideas are coming slowly, but have not stopped completely.

This week, I worked on my rearranged office. It is always surprising how stuff seams to appear out of nowhere.
A story idea for that might be where magic or some technology is used to create storage where little existed. That little cubby hole pierces into another realm. You stick some stuff into the cubby hole so it is out of the way. The stuff slides partway into the other realm. You can then pack more in there. As long as the cubby hole is not disturbed, it will keep crating room on the other side for all the stuff. Later, one needs to move things, You start pulling stuff out of the space and it keeps moving forward to give you more to pull out until the other realm is empty.
Picture someone about to move a desk and is pulling stuff out of a small space next to the wall. The desk has been there for years. When they are done getting everything out to move the desk, the room is nearly full of whatever was stored there over the term.

My wood working has done well. I made a tea pot that is really heavy but rather interesting. I have a lot to do on it, but it has character I have not seen created by any else else. Looking at the piece, I can see why....
There are times where nothing goes right, other items where nothing goes wrong, and then times where, when things go wrong, it does not bother me. I am in a good period right now and loved having a three day weekend to work on it.

AS to the question of the week,

Yes, I did write.
