I suppose that by writing this I am answering the question posed in the last post. I am going to blog. I may even have come up with a strategy. I will write what comes to mind for 500 words, then edit it, then schedule it for posting. Here we go…
I need a topic.
Isn’t it funny how they can be so hard to come by? There is a great universe before us and I struggle with words. As I observed to a friend the other day, after a minor misunderstanding, it is a good job I am not a writer(!)
I have had a reasonably productive day. That is a good place to start. By the time you read this that day might be long gone.
Sometimes I wonder if rambling might do me good. Would that work? I can just type the first stuff that comes to mind. Then I tidy up the post and publish the results.
No. That is stupid. That is never going to work. (He said while doing just that.)
I get dark thoughts a lot. It is strange when I have no thoughts. I have moments where nothing is really on my mind. Like now. (If that wasn’t obvious from the way I am typing.)
The novel is going well. 81 pagers are written and reasonably edited. That is a good start.
My flat isn’t looking too bad. It is much less of a disaster than normal.
I could talk about Eurovision. For me that is tomorrow and for you it might have been last week.
I am using my Freewrite Traveller for the first draft. Aside from the ‘Q’ not working it is very effective.
I am using the pomodoro technique. I am doing 40 minute sessions instead of the traditional 25. I think it is working reasonably well.
Did I tell you I get my todo list dairies from a website called “So Typical Me”? Well I do and they make some lovely things. Although if you are on a budget you might want to look elsewhere.
That last sentence was an odd statement. I am on a budget.
I have a way around that. I just said it was an essential thing. I am only lying to myself after all. I am also swimming in notebooks. Anyone who likes notebooks will know that it isn’t about logic.
This is actually going okay. I cannot edit this complete and utter rubbish on the Freewrite. I am going to get to 500 words and then see where I stand.
So it looks like blogging might be back. Assuming I can find something worth saying each time I come to this.
How are things with you? No that won’t work. This is not a conversation. Anyway that is 500 words (editing notwithstanding.)
I just wanted to say that I have checked this post. I really have. Unfortunately my particular combination of dyslexia and dyspraxia makes it really hard for me to spot typos. Please enjoy and I’ll try not to make too many errors.
