Look at it go!

My goodness. This story really wants to be written. Did another 4k today...yes, I was marathoning, but my goal was 3k. Then I ended up in the middle of a scene that demanded to be written. Interestingly enough, I think I've come up with a new way to get to where I was going so the last final humiliation doesn't have to happen. I may still use that scene, but it'll have a different flavor than the one I'd had planned. Thank goodness for Leenan :).

I'm so happy for your progress. Um... Mar.. I have a confession. I added you as a friend without asking you first. But I'm not on *your* friend list so I can't read your snippets and progress. :( You can tell me to bug off and I won't take it personally not in the least little bit, I swear, because I know writing is a very private thing.

I envy you. Perhaps I should consider a method similar to yours. I find that when I start writing (the Muse beats me to death) I just continue until I am wasted. I've written as much as 14K at one sitting then sit around wondering what next. If the story takes life, I have to continue until it wanes. Of course, most days it seems I write zilch... that's when the Muse should really be hitting me!
