Writing and RL
Having spent the last couple of months convinced that my writing is absolute crap and I am wasting my time even bothering to attempt writing fanfic let alone original work, I finally managed to get some words down today. 1200 words of an original short story. Odds are I will loose what little confidence I found today before I even look like finishing it. I still have a Bucky/Steve fic 3/4's done that I haven't touched in two months, but at least there were some words on paper today.
I gave up attempting to plan a story out and just went with the first vague concept that came to mind. So I have a flash back of a boy lost in the woods, and then him drinking alone on his 35th birthday. I have no idea who the characters are or what the story is, but 1200 words found there way onto the page.
I have also decided I need to get back to reading books. I have read next to none over the last couple of years, when I used to read probably at least 30 a year. I have read 10 books since Christmas, and want to read at least one a week this year. Have signed up to good reads so I can keep a list of books I find that look interesting otherwise I tend to forget.
I have had a few interviews in the last couple of weeks but still no luck on the job front. Hubby has been accepted at the Hospital for casual work, yet to find out what sort of hours he will be getting though. It may not be much to start with, but they have already told him there will be a permanent position coming up that they have encouraged him to apply for. So some good news at least.
Hopefully I can get some more writing done tomorrow and try and find the groove of it again.
