Finding the Groove

The paltry four hundred words I reported last time seem like a godsend at this point. I have produced almost nothing in the last week. A few revisions on Move Along Home, a little bit of character sketches for a possible short piece to be written later, a few dozen words of Stopping By, nothing more.

I did however discover things I need to change in Move Along Home. Parts of chapter eight need to be in chapter seven. Stuff I wrote for chapter nine belongs in both seven and eight. A secondary character is getting a complete overhaul. I plan to work on these revisions and hope it will jumpstart the creative process.

careswen and I have been very busy over the last several days. Stuff is going on both internally and externally. We have decisions to make on important personal matters. We've both been a little under the weather. Mercury is in retrograde. Stuff. Lots O' Stuff.

Now, back to work.

Peace.

Moving Forward

Around a thousand words of various degrees of worthiness were committed to Move Along Home. I suppose the revisions were just the thing needed to get myself moving again. I hope to recreate the feat tomorrow.

I also managed to get some fuzz and purr from the Reverend Selena today, which is a nice byproduct of laying on the bed while I write, though it does interfere with the writing process a bit. Especially when she lays on the keyboard. I can't type through the fuzzy kitty, though the laptop does spit out some interesting character combinations.

Other plans this week include finishing mobility instruction at VLR, and then going to class six hours a week for only Braille. Also on the agenda is SF writers meetup, which is occurring on Sunday this month as an experiment. Come see the Science Fiction Writers in their natural habitat. Or at least a coffee shop. Possibly a diner. The place is still to be announced. As a special treat this week I get to go to the Retina Center and be poked and prodded about the eyeballs, as well as have all manner of bright lights and possible flash photography done after having my eyes dilated.

Oh Joy. Oh Rapture.

See y'all tomorrow! (Maybe)

Peace Porridge
