Finally!

Today was a really productive day. I finally found my way into the next chapter of Covenant - no more write, toss, write, toss - it started to flow together again. So am already about half-way through - and actually wishing "Lost" didn't come on tonight because I'd rather be working on my chapter! So the "I have to write something even if it's rubbish!" phase seems to have departed. Thank God! (And I'm skipping the first hour of "Lost" because it's just a repeat of last week's second hour and I didn't like it the first time around, soooo... )

And if anyone says again that writing for a "mere" fifteen minutes a day doesn't work - I will point to what happened to me today. I've found my two main characters for my original story and was trying to figure out how to set up the events (and ending) I want for them. I started going through all the little "meaningless" tidbits I'd written (and never, never throw those away!) and found it. Just sitting there waiting for these two to pop into it. When I wrote it, it was just meandering, and only a paragraph - but it's perfect for these two characters. So in and of itself, worthless. But it was one of my fifteen minute "duty calls" and now it's ready to be a story. So - WRITE EVERY DAY PEOPLE! One day one of those snippets could come in very very handy.

So - a good way through the next chapter of my fanfic, and a good starting point for my original short story for the contest - definitely a productive day.

Now, if I could just say the same about the housework...
