This is another update to track my progress on
- writing one short story each month
- working out a novel
I simply have to write!I simply have to write!
The headline of this month is that I'm caught up in other stuff. I did not write a short story, I didn't even try. Who writes short stories?? Not me. Neither did I have one solid session of planning, dreaming, or ideating upon the collection of scraps that might become a novel some day.
I've been working part time, and while I really do enjoy the job, it kinda wipes me out. At the end of an 8 hour shift, there's no gas left. Energy sources are depleted. I've also been learning screen printing; of this, I have been doing some writing! That's a point toward the goal. It's not fiction but it is pushing a pen.
Other points I earned:
- a poem #1463441
- hmm that's all
It's ups and downs in the writing game... Wasn't a super productive month for me either, but got a couple of noteworthy things done. Also, great idea re/ a monthly review! I'm still stressing over the fact that I haven't done proper yearly reviews for 2024 and 2025 (or even before that, but I never planned for a review for previous years anyway) - and to review a whole year seems like a humongous task (especially since I'm not planning to review just one aspect of my life - but the totality). Anyway, reviewing a month is a much more manageable task.
However, my post is coming later (perhaps tomorrow), cause ATM I don't even have the time for that, LOL.
a year review of your entire life?! do you journal?
"Hmm that's all"
Not good result. Geeeet out there and produce, sweet plebpoet!
not good at all :/ but I read a lot!
That's the production line for great writing, so no trouble! :)
I didn't write anything other than my broke ass poem and a handful of longish comments/posts. I also have a goal of trying to articulate my thoughts on communities, so I'm preparing myself for that. Oh, and I've been mentally sketching some surreal, softly erotic art that I'd like to pencil at some point, but I probably don't have the bandwidth.
a mental sketch, that's something we can do?
People don't do that?
