For the past couple weeks I’ve been getting used to a new home in a new city, and it has not been without stress. I’ve even had an awful head cold, and I never get sick. Basically I still have that limbo feeling: where am I, is this life or am I in a dream? Also I haven’t worked (at a job job) in two-and-a-half weeks and this is enough to cause the willies in its own right. I’ve been working on my writing still and I think I’m pretty committed, considering the lingering limbo. The problem at first was endurance: I’d be working well but only for half an hour at a time. I believe I see some improvement here so hopefully it continues.
I’m in the editing stage on Split Screen – I have a manuscript, but as I know from my experience writing Gossip Kills that pretty much just represents the end of the easy part. At this point you have the hard task of actually making everything work plus the frustrating repetition of toiling again and again on the same text, the same words. Sometimes I have to discipline my brain so it doesn’t shut down or go into autopilot just because it’s read the damn thing before.
I don’t have a real writing schedule yet since I don’t have a general schedule or a job. But I’m trying all the same, still working on Split Screen.
