Back to the (Writing) Grind

May 22nd, 2008 by Jen

Not that I mean to bore anyone with my progress in writing, but it’s my blog and if this bores you then you can skip this part! LOL

With school over, I want to get back into the writing grind. The two writing projects I started last year are unfinished, and it is my goal to finish at least one of them before the fall. I have selected the story that I started about my World of Warcraft guild because it’s published on our guild website and it looks rather silly sitting there only half done. It’s also the piece of work that has taught me the most about the writing process - at least to date. And also because I actually like the story. It’s funny and fun, it doesn’t have to be taken seriously, and I feel like it’s something that I can really play with since it’s about my friends’ gaming characters.

It’s been a long while since I have contributed anything to it, so I have decided I would start doing an edit process on what’s already been published. Oddly enough, I’ve learned a great deal by going back and reading what I’ve written and, not only am I looking forward to cleaning it up, but I think the lessons learned will be helpful going forward. This weekend I will be working on chapter 10. It’s about half way done, and I’d like to say that I plan on finishing it but I have no idea. Over the past year, I have gotten faster at the writing process, but it is still very slow going for me.

Anyway, since it’s been so long that a chapter has gone up, I may just hold onto the whole thing until I’ve gotten a big head start, and then start publishing chapters on a regular basis. But we’ll see…
