The First Day Of The Rest Of My Career

Starting today I'm am no longer an aspiring writer. Today I am a writer. I've got a gameplan and everything. I'll walk you through it:
  • Starting monday I'll be putting in 40 hours a week of writing. At least 20 actually writing and 20 or less plotting.
  • If I don't the urge or inspiration to write, I will anyway, inspiration be damned!
  • I will constantly be developing new ideas, (not a problem for me) but not at the expense of current projects.
  • I'll be pursuing any opportunity I can (This I've already been doing, but I needed another bullet point).
So that's my game plan. At least partly. I've got some irons in the fire and hopefully soon I'll have a lot more to talk about. Lastly, I wish I could draw. That would be sweet.

Best!

Pantsing

I'm going to try to do a blog at least once a week for the foreseeable future. Unfortunately, I'm not that interesting and I tend to take all the inspiration I get and funnel it into other projects I'm working on right now. But that's okay because of a wonderful process known as "Pantsing", spelling may not be accurate. Pantsing is process of writing wherein you just type and type and type until things make sense. It comes from the phrase "flying by the seat of your pants." I hope it's working.
Some weeks will be small updates, a la this one, where I just tell you what's going with me, the blog, or whatever. Others will be fairly lengthy and will more than likely cover many different topics. Sort of like the last one "Fantasy Lantern Draft". This doesn't mean that I'll only post once a week. Sometimes I might post more but I wouldn't put all those eggs in that particular basket just. See you next time.

Best!
