Writing Blog Number 2

by s

Rated: 18+ · Book · Personal · #2311764

This is a continuation of my blogging here at WdC

This will be a blog for my writing, maybe with (too much) personal thrown in. I am hoping it will be a little more interactive, with me answering questions, helping out and whatnot. If it falls this year (2024), then I may stop the whole blogging thing, but that's all a "wait and see" scenario.

An index of topics can be found here: "Writing Blog No.2 Index"

To keep people away from bothering me, when asked what I'm doing, I always tell them I'm writing porn. They quickly go away and don't come back.

I never tell people in real life what I am writing or what I write. It's a secret.

In response to "20240627 Motivation In The Middle"

Stuck in the middle has killed every attempt that I've made to write a novel. Only once with a shorter story, just over 10K words did I actually finish.

Thanks for all these articles, they are basically gold.

In response to "20240622 Public Consumption Of Your Work"

I had the same thing happen with a couple of my pieces. One person insisted I needed to add an epilogue to one story because I owed it to my readers to explain how everything turned out, when I felt I already had one that.

I was embarrassed when I did a review maybe last week when I told the author I was sorry he was bullied in high school and what he had to go through in the story about attending his high school reunion. Here is his reply: "Hi. Thanks for the kind words---I have never been to a class reunion. This was all fabrication." So there you have it Wordsmitty ✍️ and s

In response to "20240622 Public Consumption Of Your Work"

I've gotten reviews of a few things I have on here that truly enlightened me. I didn't know I had written it that way, but it made more sense and sounded like I knew what I was doing. To me, it was just a story about people and things.

I really do try not to think about why I'm writing something. It gets me confused and alienates the muse.

I have not studied much on how to write except classes in college. Thank you for the helpful, scholarly details on all aspects of writing in this blog.

In response to "20240616 Writing An Autobiography Or Memoir"

I wrote mine at Storyworth.com in 2023. They are patiently waiting for my final edit then it will be hard bound. It can then be purchased by family members.

In response to "20240610 Quitting"

Very informative.

I've quit projects and never gone back to them. But... I don't regret doing them. Other projects are on hold. Sometimes letting it rest helps seeing it through fresh eyes.

I just realized I'm echoing Max.

I'm editing old flash fictions write now. When I'm finished I need to check out old poems stashed in ancient blogs.

As for audience... the old folks at the Senior Center aren't a stellar audience for what I write. The Housewives of WDC is another difficult audience for me. But... I shouldn't complain. If I could get $1 from 0.3% of the US population I'd be a millionaire.

I do enough prompts that I'm not permanently stuck in one genre.

20240608 External Writerings V

External Writerings V

As is the norm, here are the articles I had published last month on Weekend Notes.

You will find lots of music, and some movies. I have removed the local events as they have finished.

Hope you find something to enjoy!

Songs about battles!

The original three Star Wars films looked at.

My favourite songs from Eurovision 2024. (Spoiler: the song that won is not on this list, and half of this list did not make the finals… Nostradamus I ain’t!)

Songs about shouting and yelling. (With a lack of Britney Spears.)

Memorialising Roger Corman.

Songs about screaming. (And still no Britney.)

And, to counter some previous lists, songs about falling silent.

Songs that say, “Thank you.”

And we finish with songs about butterflies.

Clicking on these does help me. Honestly. And you might even find some new songs to enjoy!
