Diary Of Being A Writer; Week 89
Hey now, my writings back!
I am feeling disjointed, distracted and diswriting.
I want to get back to my writing.
I want to immerse myself in my writing and start making progress again.
So that is what I intend to do.I keep reading articles on Medium about how to earn more money, how to build my audience, how to build an email list, how to market myself. And then I take none of it on board because what I want to do, is write.
I want to write better.
I want to improve my writing.
I want to practise my writing.
I want to finish a novel.
I want to edit my memoir/rewrite my memoir. Of course, I want to earn more money from my writing, but not at the expense of my writing time.
Yesterday wasn’t a wasted day, but I also don’t feel it was as productive as it could have been. It was 42 degrees here, so I am going to use that as an excuse. Today it will be 21.
This morning the sky is full of dusky coloured clouds, and the air smells of smoke. Welcome to an Australian Summer, Except it isn’t. It is spring.
Anyway, today, looms in front of me like a loomy thing. I should just open up my WIP in Scrivener and write 2000 words, but I really don’t know…
