Dialogue
Posted Jan 27, 2005
Okay, I've realised that pages of purely dialogue are NOT a good idea but it does sometimes give me ideas.
I think I've fallen into the trap (with my latest potential work of creative authorship) of going over conversations for the sake of it. I am not moving the story on.
I have now decided to just tell the story and see what happens. I MUST commit myself to writing regularly or once again, I will have a half finished story that I'll findin a couple of years and think 'That was quite good. I should do something with it.'

Becoming braver
Posted Jan 19, 2005
As I have now actually dared to put a couple of poems onto my space, feel like I've been very brave (even though no-one may ever read them!).
I do feel inspired and also a bit negative which I know is typically paradoxical, but it's partly realising I probably don't stand much chance of commercial success because there are so many budding writers out there - who strangely all seem to be fairly talented.
I access this site from work as my internet connection at home isn't reliable at present, which I don't think is very constructive. Must get that sorted then!
I suppose the next step is to put something on the review part of the site. Aarrrhh! Will the old heart take it?

Wow, not so bad
Posted Jan 17, 2005
Really pleased that people have actually replied to me. Also interesting to have sparked off several unrelated conversations - there are people out there like me!
Wish I had more time to explore and chat - working full-time, volunteer work plus night class doesn't leave a lot of time.
Guess I'll have to timetable a weekly slot, or burn the midnight oil! Or is that the midnight candle? Candle at both ends? Oh dear, I knew I would soon crack under the pressure!
