alexandraerinThe Daily Report
I'm giving serious thought to starting a sort of circle for writers, but instead of working on polishing the craft or spiffing up specific manuscripts, the focus will be on writing... the act of producing something in the first place.
Some people have classical writer's block. Some people have the feeling that they need to get good at writing before they begin, or all in one go. People have different problems for different reasons which means they'll require different solutions, but they add up to the general case of it being hard to actually sit down and just write. Long-term readers of this blog know just how much of my professional development has been focused on dealing with this.
I'm not going to be undertaking anything new in the next week or so because travel and holidays, but this is something I feel pretty strongly about doing. I've been thinking for a while about making a booklet of tips or a dedicated serious of web posts, but at the end of the day my experience and advice isn't going to be universal... so I think a more de-centralized approach would be better. I have a specific idea in mind for how to bring this about, but again, it's going to be a busy week.
The State of the Me
Pretty good.
Plans For Today
Day two of MU chapter cycle. As stated yesterday, this means I have a practical goal of 1,000 words.
