Pen of the Gryphon

No school.... *mwhahahahaha*

Yeah, I have a three-day weekend. *whoot* Having said that, I have a boat-load of stuff to do... *sigh*

A good read (writing how-to) is "Sol on Writing" by Sol Stein. It is fabulous. Another good one is "Revision" by Kit Reed. Both are great resources: really clear and actually helpful.

Sort of stuck in a rut with my novel-in-a-month. Talk about Writer's Block. I have to force myself to write at least a page everyday. I've only been doing this for 8 days. What is wrong with me? Maybe it is because I HAVE to do it. I very rarely like doing things I HAVE to do. If I choose to do it and set my own hours and limits, then I am fine. Granted, I made the choice to do this, but now it has become a guilt-driven obligation, rather than a fun project like my wonderful "Ocean of Tears" (which I now have to rewrite *whoot*)

Ooh, one more reading recommendation: "The Bartimaeus Trilogy" by Jonathan Stroud. Hysterical. The footnotes are the best thing... A highly recommended book on my list...

Anyway, ta... I have a bunch of stuff to do...
