A Hundred Poems
Reading a short story a day took a short vacation. It’s not a habit yet, but it’s one I would like to have. I’ll keep trying. Whenever I write poems, I write down the numbers and keep track of how many I write. I’ve done this since 2010. In 2010 I wrote 254 poems, and …
Poetry Project, Short Story a Day
The Poetry Project is over as of today. I learned a lot by mining the bracelets “I love you” and “I know” every day for two weeks. Though I am surprised it took a week for fear and logic to enter the poems. The project was a success because there are some poems I would …
Another interesting week
I finished another journal this past week. When I was a kid I wrote in journals/diaries about every three years. Since I started journaling regularly in January 2011, I’m on my fourth journal. Hopefully the new one lasts for four months. Reading a short story a day has not been successful. It isn’t a habit …
Reading a short story a day
So I wanted to read a short story every day after watching “On Writing Horror 2: Creating a Schedule.” I’ve read one short story every other day. It’s a start. One from a literary magazine and the other from a collection I’ve been meaning to read. Friday I received my Kindle Fire in the mail. …
Some videos to watch
A friend of mine started vblogging this year, so I watched them as a way to support him. And as someone who has not read a lot of horror, I am interested in learning more and will continue to watch. This is his second video. In the video he shared that he reads a short …
Short Story Update
I started working on another short story Tuesday night but I haven’t finished it yet. I went to the Toledo Museum of Art with a friend Tuesday. I did some research on a novel idea and made significant progress. Yesterday I went to the Napoleon Public Library for their book sale and got a great haul …
The Search for Ink and Stories
Earlier this week I finished my first short story for December. So now I’m in the lead. 1-0. The short story I finished was based on “The Young Man with the Carnation” by Isak Dinesen in “The Winter’s Tales.” Check it out if you haven’t read the collection already. Last night I made a list …
45038–NaNo
Yesterday I had a total of 42,314 words, and today after my writing session I have 45,038. So close to the legendary 50,000! I am pleased though that I was able to catch up. Spraining your finger during NaNo is not something I’d recommend, but at least NaNo 2011 will be a NaNo to remember. I have …
7759 NaNo
7759 words total. Writing session: 8:55-10:18 a.m. At home on the computer with novel’s soundtrack. Made it through the first major event. Now she’s on a bus to San Diego from Cincinnati. Just to let you know I did not finish a short story in October (even though I brainstormed ideas for several), so my …
