The Writing Blurt Thread

[Stella_Omega]

Yep, we need yet another blurt thread;

Well. . .just pitched those 8,400 words and am starting over.

tell me about it...
I have one short that forked off in the middle, either way reads good. Dunno which one to go with.

*sigh*

 

[drksideofthemoon]

Of course they're passive sentences...I wrote them to be passive, quit highlighting them...

 

[starrkers]

I currently have 3500 words spread over five stories. They're all stalled.

 

[Trombonus]

I have about three times as many unfinished stories as I do finished/submitted ones.

 

[The_Fool]

I guess I could blurt flash fic here...

 

[Stella_Omega]

I guess I could blurt flash fic here...

only if it's flash fic about the writing process, no?

Wanna start a flashfic thread? I have a couple of bits that I just did that aren't going to get any longer...

 

[CeriseNoire]

I had to start a "beginnings" folder, to hold all my stories that currently have 2-3 paragraphs done and have been stalled for months .

LOST: One muse, answers to "Veronica" and sometimes to "get over here, bitch." No physical description, since she looks over my shoulder when she chooses to make an appearance. If you should find her, or any equivalent muse - any one will do, honest - please call 555-BLOcK.

*sigh*

Speaking of flash fiction, Absolute Write has cranked up what's being called a, Suddenly Fiction, forum. (SF being a sub-genre of FF coming in at 1000 words or less, I think.). Anyway, here's the link: AW: Suddenly Fiction

ps: Cloudy, I thought that number was BR-549, same as Junior Samples used car lot on Hee-Haw

I'm wrapping up the last chapter in my latest story. Another draft, some editing and I'll submit it.

Oh, phooey, editing, Don't you know I'm sitting on my thumb here? It's VERY IMPORTANT!

You just know I couldn't let this gift pass by, now, don't you?

I think that would be a good thread to start...

Talking in tongues, huh? You've been sneaking sips of the sacramental wine again, haven't you? Confess your iniquities.

and... she swings!

ouch, fuck, the ball rolls up her arm and smashes her on the elbow.


Okayyyy... since I haven't been able to write three words in a row of my own- I'll work on yours. At least someone is being productive around here! (that would be you )

Here, let me rub this on your elbow. It'll make it feel better.

Damn you, you recalcitrant characters, cease those furtive rationalizations and talk to each other! Then fuck, like good boys and girls.

*points upwards to his title* I think she's over here playing with my muses harem, er, friends...After all I started herding to give my muse someone to play with and keep her happy...how was I to know I'd be responsible for hundreds of the danmed things!!!

A little more seriously, if you're having muse problems (this is a general broadcast, not just to Cloudy mind) feel free to PM me...I seem to have a knack for getting people over various and sundry blocks...

LoL! Sounds like something Starr can commiserate with!

Blurt! I seriously need to try and write some more while in the office...now only about a day until the next chapter is due!

I still haven't come up with the names for the two females in my story and it's what is keeping me from going because you can't really use pronouns when both characters are female...*sighs*

 

[starrkers]

Call them X and Y for now and keep going.

I often start with (often dreadful) possible names, then just search & replace when I come up with the real deal. That way I get to test various names in context for a while, and see how wrong and how right they are for the character.

 

[MrsDeathlynx]

Both of those are very good ideas, thanks.

Problem is though I'm a Virgo and hence a perfectionist, maybe I gotta try it anyways, I just don't want to get mixed up with just letters, lol.
