I am writing slow and am not yet at my halfway point (this would be the conversation between Marguerite and Lysanias). I need to be done before going to bed tonight. Writing this is so slow and difficult I cannot even tell you guys ( Read more... )

Toska

Here's a description by the Russian writer, Nabakov:

No single word in English renders all the shades of toska. At its deepest and most painful, it is a sensation of great spiritual anguish, often without any specific cause. At less morbid levels it is a dull ache of the soul, a longing with nothing to long for, a sick pining, a vague ( Read more... )

 Just finished my play. Will edit tomorrow after work and then post here.  Finished with twenty minutes to spare.  :)  Good night.

I will be getting back to writing this month for brigits_flame . December contest, here I come!

[This is an attempt at being productive. Carry on.]

I still have an hour to kill before work.  Update time.

To my writer friends (wow, everyone on here): Do you sometimes feel that when you write, even using the most vivid of imagery, there's still a disconnect between you and your piece? More often than not this happens when I'm writing nonfiction (or honest) poetry.  I'm constantly searching for ( Read more... )

I'm being bad when it comes to scheduled writing. As soon as I have something done (looking to be Conversion or A Saint and a Thief), I'll be sure to post asap.  I kind of feel terrible though since I wanted to enter the latter over at inkstains. It's hard once I get off of a certain schedule and try to hop back on.

In other news, i'll be helping my ( Read more... )

This pretty much sums up how I was feeling yesterday when I wrote that entry.  There's still some aftershocks and I'm trying my hardest to channel the energy into a piece known as The Modern Acrobat. The name itself sounds like it would make good prose/poetry.  I just have to sit down and start it.

Mr. Curiosity is off of the album Mr. A-Z.  Enjoy ( Read more... )

I am such a happy little worker bee right now. *nods*  Because apparently I can't read correctly, I thought the deadline for this week's contest was tomorrow at 10am.  That means I get an extra day of buffer!

Not that I've written much yet, but it's comforting to know that I won't be submitting something completely raw.  Deadlines are good, and ( Read more... )

I am struggling right now just to sit down and write.  Currently, I'm a few sentences in.  Trying to be clever really stalls the whole process for me.  But dangit, at least I'm trying.

The earth between her thighs, aches.  A rolling quake threatens to tear her in two. She holds air in her lungs, as an aftershock of fire twists and burns her insides ( Read more... )

OMG I NEED TO WRITE AND SIT DOWN AND BE CREATIVE!

It always burns down the last minute thing, you know?  I mean, sure I've been brainstorming and I have a sentence or two scratched into my journal, but I should be further.  I should be halfway through at least.

So tomorrow I'll get up at a decent time (hopefully) and you know, get to that.  I'm just ( Read more... )
