I’m not sure why I’ve been slowing down on the blogging. A lot of it is probably because I’m spending more time on actual writing these days, y’know, including some self-imposed deadlines on a really tough rewrite.
It’s not for lack of ideas. I get them when I’m riding the horse, when I’m running errands around town, even when I’m working on, y’know, the rewrite. But when I get to the computer, instead of opening up WordPress, I’m opening up Word and doing the writing thing.
We’ll see what happens when I get done with the rewrite. I am devising a writing process post because I’m using a different technique that I couldn’t have done before the iMac came into my life, and I may end up adopting the process for future long-form works. Having a chapter outline open while I work on the MS is turning out to be rather productive and I can make my notes about a rather complex plot structure and what I need to do in future chapters/modify outline right there and then rather than scribble ideas on PostIts and scraps of paper that I can never find when I need them.
But yeah. Netwalker Uprising is possessing my brain right now. When I’m not writing or doing house stuff, I’m reading Anathem. For some reason I bounced off of it before (probably because like all Stephenson’s work except for Zodiac, the first third is world building and slow, and I tried to read it during the school year). Between the two, there’s not a lot of extra stuff available at the moment.
The last Allan Schore seminar blew my socks off as well.
I am not quite at the point where I need to list posts I’m planning here. For one thing, I’ll lose them. But until July 1, I’m pretty much in the state of “possessed by Uprising” brain murble.
On to the Revision Deathmarch
