end of the summer roundup
How are things going? Not so good. I got the Arcana in early but haven’t finished a thing since. I haven’t written anything longer than 15,000 words this year. The screenplay is still slow-going, particularly since I realized I was going about the framing device in an utterly wrong way and had to take out those scenes for redoing—which is also on hold while we try to find some more biographical information.
I have all my deadlines in a “days until” countdown widget in iGoogle, and while the number of days looks like a lot, when I think about everything I’m planning to do in those numbers of days I just deflate a bit. I need more time, I need more discipline, I need more words.
It’s almost September and I feel like I haven’t accomplished a thing this year, particularly compared to last year.
