Morning and happy new month, CoSo!
Who has goals on the go?
This is Day 1 of a new schedule, and I'm sequestering myself in my apartment for the next three days at least to get my routines for it sorted out. (With a stationary bike - it'll be like lockdown again).
Yesterday I tripped into two new students just by going to the store - and while that'll be good for the budget, I really need to focus on finishing a few projects. No new ones!
How about you? What's on tap for your August? 👀
@MLClark @stephen_a_allen I've been a bit stuck lately. Can't decide the direction I want this time travel story to go. It's a multiverse story disguised as a time travel story because I don't like the current buzz around the multiverse (cuz it's all really just a narrative excuse to cram existing IPs into more marketable products and doesn't even make the most of the concept). But I've hit a snag in the forward momentum of the story, so I may have to just power through without thinking.
"so I may have to just power through without thinking."
Please teach me this magic, if you pull it off!
Seriously, though - sometimes being able to name the problem has to be victory enough. Glad you're sticking with this piece; it's clear that it has meaning to you, and some terrific things can come out of the work to which we feel most connected.
Take good care of that writer's noggin either way, eh?
@MLClark I could do the Nanowrimo think in college, and while it was always an interesting exercise, I never wrote anything I'm really proud of. But the short stories I wrote for creative writing classes I still think of fondly, even if they don't have a place *out there* in the world.
I'll let you know if I have success harnessing the power of nonthinkiness. The dinosaurs in the story should help. 🙃
Thanks for checking in. Remember to take care of yourself too!
