FROM MY (NANORWIMO) CHAPBOOK…
November 5th, 2009Found in my electronic chapbook.
Like many people who wind up writing, I’ve always tended to be interested in a great many things. I’m given to intense if short-lived enthusiasms, taking up hobbies and areas of interest with a passion, reading everything I can get my hands on about them, pursuing them relentlessly for three months or so, then shelving them and moving on to something else. I used to regard this fickleness as a character defect, but have come instead to view it as a useful aspect of my personality in that it enabled me to learn a fair amount about a curious mix of subjects. p. 120
From Telling Lies for Fun and Profit: A Manual for Fiction Writers by Lawrence Block.
I wrote 1,667 words yesterday morning and my total word count is now 8,672
I was cleaning some files the other day and found my NaNoWrMo from Nov 2004–got about 370 words. I don’t write well on command–even for a contest.
Shalom Norma,
First, thank you for stopping in, for reading and, most importantly, for taking the time to leave a comment. We build our communities through our conversations.
We all have our writing prompts. Sometimes a good whack on the side of the head can be just the nudge we need.
B’shalom,
Jeff
