After an overall inspiring #writing session editing a supernatural fantasy I'm working on, I bought a whiteboard. Originally inspired to work on the book, I realized that I did not have a complete vision for what I planned to do, so I waited until I had a whiteboard. It feels odd owning my first, personal whiteboard.
Waiting for that doesn't mean I could stop writing though.
Not much #writing today. Too many other things in the way. I'll be driving so perhaps I'll use text to voice and listen. The downside being that I hear a problem and can do nothing about it, not even take notes.
I'm in an audiobook which is good but states the book title as every 4th word of the story ;-) which has at times, gotten to be a bit much.
Maybe I should put on music and lose my voice by the time I get there...
#writing Writing down this last section is like pulling teeth. Actually, having my teeth pulled had an ending...
So in this alternate timeline, Anakin was honest with the Jedi Council about his relationship with Padme. He was dismissed from the Jedi and moved to the planet Suburbus with Amidala where he becomes a stay-at-home dad to the twins. Then his old boss, Senator Palpatine, shows up because his plans were discovered and he was kicked out of the Senate, so he moves into their basement —
DISNEY EXEC: You’re not my 3 o’clock pitch meeting. How did you get past security?
Thinking on my bad grammaring, I found a list of examples and see that #7 "Misplaced and Dangling Modifiers" are a particular weakness of mine.
I also know that #9 "Overuse of Prepositional Phrases" is something I do though I know it's wrong because on rare occasions, it isn't. Well, for me.
I shall resist further investigations for fear that I will discover just how bad my grammar actually is 😜

#writing I read through a bit of the manuscript and added a little. Minor corrections as well as a small bit with a subplot. This used to get me down, waiting and then wanting to write but putting down so little. Not any more. Getting into the headspace to assemble everything can be tricky. When it comes together though, I'll quickly put down a lot. My method probably makes editing messier though ;-)
Bad grammar bad!
#writing I have a few stories that I'll work on depending on which one I feel at the time. My manuscript has waited for the final section to be finished. After months of simmering, last night I settled into a comfortable track and honestly read through that last part with visions of scenes parading through my head. I feel as if it is finally starting to come together.

I've been enthralled with sentences containing contradictions. Something like "I probably definitely will." In another I describe a series of increasingly absurd events with an absurd, "and" filled sentence. An increasingly absurd sentence to describe an increasingly absurd series of events. It resonates with me. I'm not sure dropping random sentences of poetry into stories is the best of ideas but when it flows well...
Hello all. I am an aspiring writer documenting my mad daydreams which tend to be a blend of SciFi and fantasy to varying degrees. I've a couple shorter stories(10k or less) I work on when the madness takes hold, and a rough draft of a book (about 60K, ok small book) that needs work, but I'm getting there. Thinking of actually letting someone read my work, I've started building a bit of an internet presence since noone knows I write at all 🙂
