Just rundown, tired, and cranky. Everybody writes at their own pace. This just seems to be the best one for me.

You make me feel like a slug. I pantsed my way through my wip, and now I have to gut my whole middle and I’m actually plotting. Next time I’m going to try it your way, just writing “And then stuff happens”.

I’m nobody’s hero. Not with the first draft, anyway. I’ll post some of my sterling sentences later on, and you’ll see how craptastic it really is.

You shouldn’t weep, Meljean. I read your post about how long you write. 150,000 words? In one coherent, cool story? Now, that’s impressive. 😉

Brian, I’ll answer your questions in my next post, hopefully before the end of the week …

BTW, I’m up to 20,000 in the second draft. If I push myself, I might be able to get through with it this weekend. Fingers crossed! If they don’t fall off before then …

Do you use a dip pen like Shelby Foote, a typewriter like David Sedaris, or are you using a computer?

Do you have a favorite time of the day to write?

Where do you write?

Answer these questions and I think you could count it as an appearance on Booknotes.

I’m officially stunned. You are my hero.

(looks at own output this week and weeps)
