Writing Goal for the Day?

Waiting on pins and needles to see if the latest chapter is approved. It has a scene where Marissa talks about her father raping her when she was young, underage young. It's showing 60 reads/views and pending, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. :eek:
 
I had all intentions of writing something for the daily 300-word contest but wth the Saints' draconian punishment, I've put it aside. That, and the three story ideas I've come up with for the three prompted words would be better suited for longer pieces.
 
I will write today! lol

I'm going to return to the rewrite of my larger project and add to the Mature story I'm writing about my neighbors. :)
 
Got a few lines written this morning but i really need to do the rewrite on my murder story and flesh it out some.

Sigh

Although I like the way it slaps the reader in the face now but a little more explanation wouldn't hurt according to a certain editor. :rolleyes:
 
Sitting in Dunkin' Donuts and actually working on a story to be included in a collection. :) Nice to be doing some writing.
 
Latest chapter of ALMI came out with the underage rape scene approved. Thanks Red and PL for your suggestions, they were spot on.:)

Now to keep up with Ch 7. The ladies are writing their own story and I just have to type fast enough.:D
 
Not quite done the short story, still working on the argument in another. It's funny -- until I started working on this argument between a woman and her father, I never realized how little I argued with people (kids aside :) ).
 
First isn't a writing goal as much as a writing class goal - I have a small pile of papers and then calculations of midterm grades.

I plowed through 600 words yesterday on a story I'm being careful with as it is for a tough market and has a natural metaphor running throughout that I don't want to over emphasize nor hide too much - trying to hit that right balance to be artsy clever.....sheesh!
 
Still haven't finished the castle story, and it's bugging me. Maybe tonight. Sigh.
 
stoip wasting life here then, slacker ;) get to it. :)

:p I got the SRPs for the SRP forum done. Have a thread that went SRP(ish) earlier last week, I'll get to that later, needs a bit more "soul" time than a regular SRP does. :D

Now logging out of Lit. for a bit to write more on the neighbors and the novel - you are the slacker though, traipsing around the world.
 
I enjoy writing erotic lit. It's somehow very personal to me and an escape that involves all of me centered on one thing without edit. But real life gets in the way. Good news though, I had two criticisms accepted by scholarly journals, one I invested a lot of time in. This alleviates some pressure I've been feeling at work. As far as my more personal stories go, I write. I rewrite. And, then the whole system starts over again. Today I finish it and let it go. :)
 
After a too busy of a weekend I'll set myself down and get some writing done, whether it's a 300-word contest or 1000-words for yet-another-project.

Hey, congratulations on the criticisms! And yes, let it go and enjoy a little break. :)
 
Finished my short story. Whew. Not crazy over the ending, and it's a little longer than requested, but it is indeed finished as a first draft. Whew. :)
 
I edited for a friend. It's his first attempt at writing for Lit. and I'm doing my best, but there are some flaws that distract a lot. I am hoping he takes the advice I offer as heartfelt, not cruel or heavy handed.

He gave it to you to edit, Red, because he trusts your opinion and feels you write well enough to help him. Feedback is essential and honest feedback is the most important.
You'll steer him down the right path.;):)


I finished ch 7 and submitted it last night. Busy starting ch 8 now and spicing up the girls lives even more.:D
