Writing Goal for the Day?

[estragon]

Crap, do I understand that!

After dragging major ass on my last chapter, I let the DH read it. He always says, "That's great!". But I know he's just hoping to get laid, so I have to cross-examine him like fucking McCarthy to get to the truth, and, after I threatened with bamboo shoots, he finally confessed that the last scene was a load of horseshit. Damn. So I threw that out and wrote a new scene, one with sex in it, and he said, "That's great! Can we screw now?"

So I've run it by GQ (Great Quibbler) and now I'm supposed to be submitting it instead of fucking around on the BB.

Typical.

Serenissima Syd, I already gave Ch 11 a plug on my "Embarras de Richesse" thread on SF, so submit the story. The last scene is good; while DH may be after your delectable body (and I wish him the best of luck), the chapter is good stuff. So publish it.

As for me, I have to start Ch 4 of The Story. Perhaps RL will give me an excuse not to write--like our offices are moving day after tomorrow.

Yesterday was just plain annoying. I felt like I was running a fever half the day, although at least it was just warmth, ane I didn't have chills or anything, nor did I actually seem to be running a fever. Hub worked until like 6:30pm, so I got a whole maybe 45 mins of sitting quietly in bed and reading, then it was down to find some food. Dinner was a lost cause in many aspects. Then there were work files to retrieve and reformat and save.

Plus I've been busy thanking people who have tweeted about my latest release and now I'll need to futz with my blog and do some cross linking... sigh... And while I want to, all I can think is if I'm doing that, I can't be writing.

 

[annanova]

I have the DVD of my last play to burn multiple copies of, yet the program doesn't seem to want to let me get that done. I ended up doing a c-n-p on it last night. Hope it worked.

Writing? Well, I left off at a good spot yesterday, so yeah, I'll get them through the restaurant at the very least.

 

[PennLady]

Dinner's in the oven and the boy will be home soon, and I've done blogging stuff. By rights, this should earn me some writing time this evening. However, hub seems to have a cold, so guess what -- it won't. Sigh.

Tough week. I hope that you are feeling somewhat better now, maybe even a few quiet minutes to alleviate anything that may have popped up this evening.

Having a 312 tonght, relaxing and outling. The story of my life. Ugh, my kitchen is so neglected right now. I need to cook something, it seems as though all that gets made are scrambled eggs and salad lately. Fail, maybe tomorrow.

A 312?

I'm seriously thinking of starting to get up early, like 5:30 or 6am, to try to get some writing time. I'm seriously at a loss as to what else to do. The hub has said just tell him and he'll watch the kids; and he means it, he's done it before. Fine, but then every time I turn around he has to work, so it never happens.

It's not unusual for me to wake up at 4am, and that is exactly what I will do. It's the best time for me to write.

Yeah, but I usually end up not going to bed until midnight, and I'm not sure how well I'll function on even less sleep. But it may be worth a try at least for a while. My writing time really took a beating b/c the little one no longer naps.

Yikes, sorry. 312 is a beer..Goose Island.

You might get a good feel for the early morning writings, a fresh mind, a new day. Maybe if you're getting less sleep or going to bed late--see if your husband can put the kids down after you go to bed so you can catch up on the sleep and then get up early. He's still watching your kids.

Well, I go to bed at around 10. But what I mean is that I wake up around 4, not because I want to, but because my head is ready to go. I can either lie there and think, or get up and write.

A lot of this is, I think, the problem with trying to do "everything." I want to write, need to get work done (I do a little work for the company I used to work for in VA and have started getting the files done in the evening for next-day sending), then there's house stuff, family stuff, and of course once the kids are in bed, the hub and wouldn't mind watching a movie or a show. I feel like there's nowhere for me to adjust aside from getting up earlier. Like the work files -- it makes the morning go much easier, but it doesn't get me anything in terms of writing time. Ah well, maybe when the boy is back in school...

I'm trying to fill some requests - a gangbang story for Busty Jessica in particular, but life, the universe and the rest of it keep getting in the way.....

*HUGS*

Well, not a lot of writing today. Helped my editor edit, did some reading and made my way through most of the dvds I need to burn.

I thought SethP wrote those Busty Jessica stories. Are they related somehow, or just coincidence?

 

[intelligent_fantasy]

My goal was to finish my first story for this site. I ended up nitpicking a few parts. I also organized my ending to make sure it had a climax and brought things I had foreshadowed earlier into play.

 

[sr71plt]

I had a mainstream story contest winner appear in a publication today. I hadn't noticed before, but this pubication's style is to drop all quotes, both single and double. Yuck. I thought it made the story almost unreadable. But I'd already cashed the check a couple of months ago, so I won't complain to them.

As far as production, I edited a short story and four poems (that made no sense to me whatsoever) today for a mainstream anthology I volume edit and reviewed a couple of more chapters of a Dirk Hessian novella, which is scheduled to be launched next weekend--so I have to get that finished by tomorrow.

 

[Darkniciad]

Grinning as the returns come in for my latest on another site. Should hit here either tonight or tomorrow.

Goals: Closing out this story I'm working on so I can put it aside for a couple of days to simmer before going into the editing process.

Then, research. Anybody knowledgeable about Cessna float planes feel free to chime in *laugh* I need to know how reasonable it might be for an alternator to go out even with responsible maintainence, and whether it's feasible to change that out after the part finally gets paddled into the remote northern Minnesota wilderness.

It's just a reason to keep someone out in the bush, and the final fix won't even happen within the story, but if that scenario pushes the boundaries of reasonable circumstances, I may have to find some other way to break that plane that is fixable under less than ideal conditions, but requires parts brought in.

 

[PennLady]

Dark -- I'm sure others know but I'll ask my hub, he's a plane buff. More military, but he may know about Cessna's or other light planes.

Goal for today... ugh, I don't even know. Hub is swamped with work, both kids home, trying to work out a visit for the boy with my SIL... gah

Final reread of Summer Lovin" Contest story before I ship it out.

Got two chapters back from my editor in RL but I'm putting those off until this job is finished. To many interruptions around here for serious work of a story.

 

[annanova]

Goals?

In all honesty, my goals for today are going to revolve around finishing the damn ironing, actually having lunch (hmm, suppose THAT might help prevent the headache I had most of yesterday?), get ink cartridges and MAYBE do some longhand while visiting the salon.

Oh, and get a b-day card in the mail.

Good luck to everyone with the editing. PL, my sister is counting the days until school starts.

 

[TxRad]

Summer Lovin' story submitted. Seven pages.

Congrats! What a way to lead into the weekend. : )

Working on this drilling rig includes weekends, I'm sorry to say. No days off until the job ends but after 38 years, I'm used to it, kind of.

 

[Toadlet]

This is it. My writing goal for the day was to find a thread that helped me feel brave enough to post something...anything.

I'm coming out of a wretched time in my life and many days the most basic life activities are a struggle. By the end of the year, though, my goal is to be writing prolifically both erotic and non. I'd love to finish my novel by spring.

Thanks for the bit of encouragement.
