How Rough is the rough draft?
Pretty rough, but more importantly…DONE.
I’ve had a weird relationship with this article (on helping fiction writers transition into freelancing). I love the idea–I’ve had so many people ask how to get into freelancing and I love helping them get started that idea really created itself. I was psyched when the editor requested it, and I get wound up each time I think about the info in the article.
But for some reason, putting my butt in the chair to write this one was an adventure in procrastination–something I’ve battled, slayed and thought I’d overcome. I used to be the world’s #1 procrastinator but grad school taught me the value of planning ahead. I don’t like the feeling of procrastinating now (obviously not enough) but this piece didn’t listen to that. It’s due on the 5th of February and, well, it’s obvious how long I’ve put it off.
Luckily, it’s done. Longhand, 15 pages or so. Ready to be typed tomorrow. As I said…
DONE!

It's pretty simple, really. I'm a writer who loves writing about writing, and sharing all the tricks of the trade with other writers. And when I'm not writing, I'm thinking about writing. I have a hunch you know what I mean :)
