Today’s (Writing) Tally
I finished drafting the chapter-by-chapter synopsis for my book proposal. I really started feeling the momentum towards the end. It seems that I always forget how good the book is and how it gets better and better the further in you get. At least it does for me. We’ll see if anyone else agrees.
I hope to have the proposal packet off to the next potential publisher by the end of October so I can turn my attention to NaNoWriMo. I first learned about National Novel Writing Month last year but I was already working on my first novel and didn’t want to set it aside to start a new one. Maybe this year though. It sounds like so much fun.
Also on my writing agenda…
I’m thinking about writing a short play or two about creation. I have a friend who is putting together a project and looking for such things. I’ve only written one play before, in a playwriting class in college, and I don’t like writing plays as much as short stories and novels and such. Playwriting is too collaborative for me I think. You write the thing but then this whole other bunch of people mucks around with it and makes their own art out of it. I’m not sure I like that.
Still, I’m considering it because an idea keeps hounding me. It seems like it will just keep jumping up and down and yelling at me until I finally get it down on paper.
I guess I better refresh my memory about playwriting format first though.
And that’s what’s on deck for today.
