Writing notes
...an infrequent journal about the perils, problems, and sometime joys of my writing life...

2,126 words today to finish, sort of, the draft of the crime story I've been working on. No title as of yet. I really struggled to get much of anything today. I kind of knew what I wanted at the end, and had a scene going that wasn't going anywhere. So I decided to just try and write the ending and see what I could come up with. I wanted to print it out later at the office (since my printer at home is out of ink).


I worry when I write that much in a day. It all may sound nice to my now, but I've learned that if I write more than 2,00o words, much of what I have is crap. I guess I'll see in a couple days when I work on revision.


Speaking of which, I think I'll next work on revising the last two essays I've written.


No rejection slips yet today, but it is early.
