40 and going strong….
…not my age, my page count….
Not bad for the week. Had hoped to get to 50, and I’ll be there tomorrow without a doubt. I’m halfway through chapter three and will finish sometime Sunday.
I have to admit I like my writing system with this book and wish it would easily transfer to fiction. Going on my TOC, I outline one chapter at a time, then write it. Finish that, outline next chapter, write it…yadda yadda. Unlike fiction, it takes the guesswork out of where to go next. No choices on what plot point to meander down, which character trait to develop, which scene to insert. If only fiction were so definable…
If anyone knows of a good way to transition this outlining exercise into fiction, I’m all ears…
Off to keep book at a basketball game where my mind can decompress and come back fresh tomorrow. Writers need to play, too.

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 :)
