Writing Challenge
Day six.
I apologize for the lateness of this post. Along with the ‘post to future’ technical difficulties 451press is having at the moment, Mr. Scribe and I have spent the day moving around furniture and re-setting up our entertainment system.
It has certainly been an interesting day.
I once again avoided rewriting my main character’s scenes because I worked on another scene I was eager to finish up instead. The scene helps set one of the major plot lines of the story, though, so I don’t feel bad for neglecting her.
I’m rather proud of the scene I completed, actually. I wrote a few pages more or less without stopping, which I always like.
How is your project going? Do you write for twenty minutes (or more) straight? Or do you prefer ten minutes here and there? (Maybe it’s necessity rather than preference, hm?)

I worked on some rewrites yesterday.
Today’s got to be my poem for tomorrow’s Poetry Train. I constructed it in my brain last night while cleaning the cats’ pan (inspiration in litter!) and then spent most of the night working on it, too. We shall see how it goes from there…

I’m afraid I’ve failed spectacularly with this week’s challenge. I’ve just had too much going on. I’ve managed 20 mins twice so far, and it’s been weird as it’s made me take the plot somewhere I didn’t imagine it would go.
Hopefully I’ll get in to more of a routine and do better next week!

Susan - Awesome.
Might we know the title of this poem?
DaveP - It’s the effort that counts. A new challenge is coming today, so maybe that’ll work better for you.
