DRUMROLL PLEASE!!!

No, I didn’t complete a marathon or anything like that, but after being asked whether I had another article I could submit instead of the one I did send in to a writer’s e-zine, I finally got the article off a minute ago. This after more than a week had passed. I’m really hoping that it isn’t closer... Sign in to see full entry.

IT’S TIME TO STOP EDITING!

I’m still on the job of editing that article I was asked to send in, in lieu of another. I don’t know that I have an excuse for taking so long with it, however, I aim to get it out this evening – child permitting, of course. What child? You might be wondering right now. The child that is sitting at... Sign in to see full entry.

A POST INSPIRED BY L.E. GANT’S WRITING TODAY.

I read a post this morning by L.E. Gant that’s inspired this one. His article Is Blogit a Club Or a Marketplace? YOU can choose! brought some truths home to me, chief of which is the fact that my writing here has declined in quality. I used to put a lot more effort into keeping my journal blog...

STYMIED

Ever heard the phrase man a plan and God a wipe out? In English, that means that while we’re busing planning, God is busy as well doing His thing and it might just not be what we’ve planned. I don’t think I’ll be getting that article off tonight. My printer has decided to go on sabbatical. My plan... Sign in to see full entry.

DO YOU HAVE ANOTHER ARTICLE WE CAN PUBLISH?

I recently sent some work to an e-zine that usually publishes my articles. They have written back to say that they currently have all the articles on marketing one's writing that they need, however, the editor asked whether I have any other articles that I can send to her. I do have one that I wrote... Sign in to see full entry.

I NEED A KICK UP MY CLACKER.....

to get me writing again. That last writing fit I felt coming on did not materialize. That might have been due to work this past weekend. I have an article that I need to get a quote from a professional to complete. I also need to sign a contract and get same back to the editor of the same magazine... Sign in to see full entry.

I FEEL A FIT COMING ON AGAIN...

I think I feel another writing fit coming on. I don’t know what will be the result, but I am setting a Wednesday deadline again to get at least one more submission out. If I can try and average at least two submissions per week – and yeah, I know that’s low – I’ll feel as if I’m doing something to... Sign in to see full entry.

WELL AT LEAST I DID SOMETHING....

I don’t lie very well and feel really rotten when I do, so I couldn’t post until I actually did something I could tell you about. I’ve been busy and have done next to nothing in the writing department. I barely glanced at the article I’m supposed to be pruning, but I did look at it long enough to... Sign in to see full entry.

I'M OFF......

If you haven’t read the So Here’s The Plan Of Action blog, here’s the deal. This blog will serve as my compass, to steer me in the direction my writing is supposed to be taking. Right now my writing is happening in fits and starts which is pretty much the usual state of affairs. The difference is... Sign in to see full entry.
