I should probably have clarified that "st...heheh... I should probably have clarified that "started reading Bird by Bird" meant I was now on page 17 of the introduction. I'm quite enjoying it, but my problem is that I always read a) fiction before non-fiction, and b) the book from the library before the book I've borrowed from a friend, so....<BR/>I do write shorter pieces, usually character pieces or random thoughts, but they're so short they don't really add up to anything that will make can share. This story I'm writing has a deadline attached to it, and write now, that seems to be part of the problem. But it's just good to be writing again, so for that I should be grateful.nohahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02535486649565810071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33760957.post-21029699015630441112007-09-15T19:44:00.000-04:002007-09-15T19:44:00.000-04:00Have you thought about writing some shorter pieces...Have you thought about writing some shorter pieces? You could just keep your skillz loose with some magazine writing, stuff like that. I don't know if that's your thing. But you totally could (and that external deadline thing would keep you working at it). Anyway, finish Bird by Bird if you can, because it was the last part that I found the best. Inshallah. Not like you don't have enough on your plate, lol!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14077505249992827111noreply@blogger.com
