Writing Progress This Week

A short but intense bout of the flu on Tuesday kept me from one of my writing appointments last week.  Does a 50% average mean I flunk writing for the week?  🙂

There is a lot of “business” behind the writing and it’s easy to get caught up in it.  For instance, on Saturdays I get an email about updated markets from Duotrope and I usually spend 15 to 30 minutes pouring over this email and clicking on links.  It’s easy to get distracted. 

On Sunday I spent some time typing up bits and pieces of three short stories.  Having it all in one place organizes thoughts but can also be a bit of a curse.  A writing prompt I began a few weeks ago has already turned into a short story of over 1000 words.  With the bits and pieces in one place I nearly smacked my head when I thought, “This could easily be the beginning of a novel if I expand this section and turn a minor character into a major one.”  I’m tempted to work on it this week to shape it  up but I may work on a shorter piece first so I can put it to rest before editing it.

It feels good to keep moving forward.
