Writing and stuff

Mar 24, 2017 15:31

I'm making a herculean (to me) effort to try and kickstart my muse. I finished the script for the prose collection I've been working on for about 3 years and gave it to my mother to read, warning her that it has some quite saucy bits. Her answer: "I expect nothing less from you." lol

I'm actually quite happy with it but I've been working on it so long I'm too immersed to really know, I think. So chances are it makes absolutely no sense to anyone else. It's sort of a collection of poetic mini-stories (1/2-1 page each), written from the same POV. Quite feminist rants in there too. And lesbian (if you read it right) porn. Anyway, even if my mother isn't really objective, being my mom, she used to read stuff for my grandfather all the time and is an avid reader so if it feels off to her I trust she'll tell me. Then of course I need to get someone non-related to read it as well. And then find the courage to email it to a couple of publishers.

Also I've restarted a children's play I started writing while at Uni. I like what I had, the difficulty lies in getting my head into the same mindset (it's been 4 years) so whatever I add doesn't feel off. It was about halfway done, and I have the plot written out since way back, so it's just a question of writing the damn thing. Plus, it's supposed to have a few songs - can't have a children's play without songs apparently - and I have never in my life written lyrics. So that will be interesting. Or hell, depending on how it goes.

Mostly I'm trying to get into the routine of writing something - anything! - every day before I go to Paris. (Only 7 weeks now!!) Damn, it's hard. But as long as I at least open a document and add a couple of words it's better than what I've been doing the last year.

I'm also picking at a few WIP fic, hoping they start behaving and get into shape. Mostly poking three fic, in the BDSM verse, the Puzzle verse and the punk!Jensen story. Going slooooooowly. Tried to do a new one as well, based on a prompt from the prompt generator, but it got boring way fast and I abandoned it. I used to be funny, what happened to that?

Health-wise I've been weird. I got some strange back pain + nausea thing a couple of weeks ago that wouldn't go away. The doctor thought it was my gallbladder acting up but turned out it wasn't, so now I don't know what it might be. My back is better but I still feel nauseated a lot of the time. And have thyroid symptoms as well (achy, achy arms) even if the test came back good on that. So I'm supposed to get an appointment with... I don't know what they're called, a doctor that treats digestive problems? It's been 7 years or so since I got diagnosed with coeliac so she said it was about time I had myself checked again anyway. Don't know yet when it will be, hopefully before I go to Paris.

Anyway, that's about it on the Felis front.
