Hmm, I've sat down and the sky has darkened after a brief interlude of sunshine. It would appear the heavens are about to use their watering can once more. In the meantime let me furnish some love, kudos and gratitude to Anna, Jo, Shilpa, Vicky and Vanessa for stopping by on my post about healing yesterday. You are all awesome!
My thoughts today are taken by the written word for tonight is my writers' group. It's not huge at all and sometimes it may well be me and just one other but in all honesty if it was me, myself and I that's fine too for it's all about, well, in the end, writing. I know all too well that we can all talk about writing but if you're not writing, well you're not a writer are you? Sometimes, we need to knuckle down and get on with it and my group allows for that. If you're reading this and fancy exploring your own imagination, craft and vocabulary then come and join in and give it a go. No matter what level you perceive yourself to be, each of us has that spark within us.
On another writing strand, I'm getting ready for a big push to get that edit done on Shadowfruit. Time to whet the scribe scalpel and get brutal and I don't mean with the story which is savage enough as it is. Nay, it's on with the show, get to the conclusion and then back through it all again to iron out those show not tell moments and those ubiquitous mistakes that will still linger.
I had another bout of editing on my GetSparked effort and will run through that again. I'm also going to re-evaluate the story that got rejected and get into the editor's mindset. What works, what's bland and frankly what's rubbish. Be brutal, get crafting and then re-sub and go from there. I've a huge back catalogue to work through as well as putting new material out there. Let's do this.
On that note I shall end and remember everyone, keep reading.
