(no subject)
I sold a case of wine today! The first case in about a month.
I am writing. Original writing. I've had an idea in the back of my brain forever but without a start. I finally came up with that start. I've got 1250 words so far, so we'll see how it goes. It feels good to be writing something. I told Chris and he said, "Do you know how to do that?" Smart ass.
This book (if it gets that far) is pretty much fluff. At some point I need to pull out the serious novel and see if I can get back to it. The problem with that is that as much as the characters are in my head and very dear to me, I have no story. It's a coming of age novel, but there's no real progress, just a series of moments. And while I could do something with a series of moments if there was some kind of thread, I haven't found that thread yet. But I'm not going to rush it or come up with some contrived story for these characters. They're too real.
The current writing though... that'll be fun and smutty and not too serious.
Back to listening to the Pats game and stocking shelves.
