I will be scarce online this week as I have a big chunk of alone time, thus an opportunity to get lost in the pages of my current WIP. I’ll be done with the draft within two weeks anyway, but if I’m diligent – and work as I do when on hard deadline – I’ll can finish within one. Please send good juju.
Incidentally, I’m always amazed at how my rough first draft takes on life and form as I comb through it in the second. The bones are down and now I’m seeking precision – to fill all the holes and round out the characters and descriptions. For me, writing is chaos, but rewriting is just magic.
So goodbye to the interwebs and social sites for now. I’ll be filling my time by:
1) dreaming with my eyes open
2) drinking tea
3) reading poetry to tune my ear
4) listening to my current musical obsession, The Killers
5) waiting for the arrival of my Louis XV ghost chairs (*squee!*)
6) and working out because I’ve been eating too many brisket f*cking tacos. (They are my kryptonite.)
Hold down the cyber-fort and see you on the flip side!
