Where Did All the Magic Go?
Ok, so it’s been about a month and a half since I wrote my last post. Not good, really, considering that this blog was supposed to help keep me on track with my writing habits.
Unfortunately, writing every day is a much harder habit to develop than not writing every day.
I haven’t been totally inactive since the last time I posted, but I haven’t written that much either. I am about two-thirds of the way through Chapter 9, which is about a chapter and a half further than I was late in August. I have somewhere around 33,000 words complete, and I hope to get through Chapter 9 tonight.
In the meantime, I finished reading the latest from Terry Brooks a few nights ago ( The Gypsy Morph, book 3 of the Genesis of Shannara series ). It was a good book, well written, with Terry Brooks’s usual style, and I consider my time spent reading his work as studying as much as reading for pleasure.
I admire Brooks for his pace and writing style, and if my writing can come anywhere close to that, then my “studying” time will have been well spent.
So, with inspiration anew, I’ll tackle the rest of Chapter 9 tonight. Wish me luck.
