FINALLY!!!! lol. GOOD AFTERNOON, LIKERS.
FINALLY... #that sums up the last few hours for me. I thought Monday was bad with the amount of #internetconnection issues that I've had. Nope. Tuesday has already taken the cake given how long I've been waiting for a connection. Good music though. Thank you, #djsasha.
This week in the world of #reallife was not looking very rosy. In fact, it was pushing slowly, but surely pass the point of frustration. But when I was given the call to an unexpected off day today...part of me was excited. After all, it gave me a #chance to get caught up on things. While my #spideysense have been screaming this was going to be one of THOSE weeks...I like to call them PAM (from #trueblood) week...I also felt it was going to be a good forward momentum kind of a week.
So far...intuition was on point. But let's get into that, shall we? Time for EDITING, TYPING, and WRITING.
EDITING. Well, I've been so busy worrying about Darkened Soul: THE BREAKING OF CRICLES that I completely forgot to post the last chapter in my #serial THE RYN. I blame the chaos of last week. smh.
In any case, look for THE RYN to be posted on Wednesday as scheduled. Internet and life willing.
From there, I wanted to go and do some research. And I've finding I just can't do research at home. Too easily distracted with the research books I got. So I would love to go and sit in a coffeeshop.
However...did I mention a rainstorm is coming? smh.
Just more things to be frustrated over.
TYPING. Speaking of research, I also have some research that I needed to do if I was going to be doing a new blog. And part of that research...was #watching.
More on that at a later date.
WRITING. MMmmm...forward momentum.
I had made an outline a couple of weeks back for my #horror WiP. I thought that I might have fallen into a slump with it. Not helped by a sense of echoing in the characters. It was time to spice it up.
And it went well. I was approaching page 50. I found that while good horror has a slow burn with a sense of dread, there had to be things happening. Whether it was plot or just dynamic characters for the main character to bounce off of.
So with ideas and plans in place, it irked my mind that I...was busy. smh.
But still...my characters persisted. Whether I was battling #sdtransit or at work dealing with customers, I kept finding my mind turning to my characters. What made them tick. What would help the story push forward. How it was going to feel to get to some of what I've written in my outline.
So I've been #writing. At last. And while it was a slow start, it was flowing.
Now to get to the feeling for dread for Ben, my main character. Did I still have it in me to do horror?
That was what this week was shaping up to...
