I launched the supernatural soap opera last week. I won’t lie. The monkey mind sitting in the back of my brain keeps screeching in terror. But I’ve so far managed to keep it caged and ignored it. As long as I can keep doing that I think I’ll be able to move forward to the point that it will finally calm down.
I’ve had twelve people subscribe to the list. One of them even subscribed to the paid tier. Thank you all for taking a gamble on this with me! I will try not to screw it all up and earn your continued readership.
I’m finding that my writing muscles have gotten a little flabby over the last year or so. Now that I’m working them out again on a daily basis, I’m finding that its a strain to get the words on paper. Yes, I’ve been lax in my writing efforts. Beyond the quarterly Blog Hops, and the odd flash fiction here and there, I haven’t been writing as much as I should have. My bad. Time to change that.
I’m going to move my main writing time to the mornings. Hopefully my creative juices will be flowing better when I first get up. I can always spend the rest of the day polishing and editing but getting it written comes first. I’d also like to get it out to you, my Hordeling, earlier in the day so you have more time to read it.
I’m finding that I’m getting more excited about writing again. What would be optimal is if I could hit a flow state while writing, and the words could just pour from my fingertips to the keyboard. It has happened before, not often, but enough to know that I can produce more works if I get there.
The other things is I’m hoping to pick up my writing speed. It currently takes me a few hours to get the amount of words I do for the supernatural soap opera. Getting faster will let me build up a little padding, should a life roll happen or other disruption in my schedule rears its head. That way, I’ll have some posts stored up and there won’t be a disruption in the publishing schedule.
We’ll see how it goes. Wish me luck, my Hordeling.
