Okay, so the writer's rut has probably not ended, but for The Telethren and for Son of Sferesh it has. Inspiration - or is it determination? - has struck me right between the eyeballs and I have once again picked up the tatters of failing stories. I'm not much of a seamstress, but I'm doing what I can. I worry that Blanchette is reaching the point where it will start to tear, though. Can't let that happen. I think that I shall launch a preemptive strike on that problem first thing tomorrow morning. And maybe I'll try to delve into Matters of Life and Death, but I think that one is semi-doomed. Of course, I never thought I'd finish that devil of a chapter in The Telethren either, so I guess there's hope.
Sorry if that didn't make any sense, I'm just letting my thoughts drip out of my ear and onto the keyboard, just to give you some juicy new candy.

yea! that makes me so happy! don't worry about sewing. i can't really even cut out the first couple pieces without losing interest. i can do the semi-formal stuff (zoot suits are the bestest), but other that that, Doomed!
I have ruts in like all my stories, but i'm attempting to start the pace on them. I can't sew either, unless the jagged, uneven and messy stuff is what it's supposed to look like. :D
Haha, I had to fix up one of the chapters in my titleless novel for an application... That was interesting. It's like I can't write anything longer than a short short story because by the time I finish, I know so much more about English and writing and everything that it isn't consistent. I'm serious, I am learning so much now that I can't even read stuff I wrote a week ago without itching to fix it.
Yikes! Tell me about, girl. In The Telethren, I gag half the time when I read through it. Between not knowing what a semi-colon was to thinking that 'all right' is properly spelled as one word, that story has about every possible blunder. And I was in ninth grade! I still don't have any claims that I know everything now, but I know a good deal more than I did then. I've decided that editing every chapter or so is bad. Not bad bad, but bad in the fact that the editing will never end.
Yeah, I've practically given up on most of my old writing. I think I'll do NaNoWriMo this year, though.
I will start with you, but I'm not thinking that I'll finish. I barely have time to write a chapter every two weeks for Blanchette, let alone something else. Son of Sferesh was the story I started for NaNoWriMo last year, so maybe I'll just furiously focus on only that story for the month. We'll see.
you writers are a different breed, savvy? i have no idea what you just said.

Haha, I have no idea what to write, though...
Yes, Miss T, we are a different breed. Though i don't really understand the Nano thingy either. But that's okay, I could never write 5000 words in a month. I'm so slow and I revise everything like 4 times-completely revise. It's Bad.
It's 50,000 words.
