Cast Your Eyes On The Ocean
Ohh, are you quoting the fantastically talented Loreena McKennitt here?
Isn't it "What's On Your Mind About Writing"? I really enjoy this thread. It's a place to share what writing issues you've been pondering or struggling with, and it's a chance to learn what problems and thoughts others are having - all without having to ask a question.What I'm thinking is that "What's on your mind?" isn't a basic writing question, and tossing every subject together like this means other writers won't be able to find whatever information is being exchanged.
Maybe we should consider wrapping this up sometime soon?
I'm hoping to finish up with the first draft by the end of the year. I'm getting so close. I finished up a chapter last night, I'm working on the last chapter today, I should finish it by tonight sometime, then I got to go back to another couple of chapters and finish them up, then write a few bits and pieces to scenes I skipped because they required research that I was not in the mood to do at the time. Can I do it? It remains to be seen.
You can do it!
I just completed the final chapter of my WIP. The first draft is complete! I was hoping to take a break once I finished this one, but ideas for another novel have already begun circling overhead.
I suppose my current thought about writing is that I'm glad it never ends for long.
Firstly, that I really need to practice being more descriptive. I'm way too bare bones when it comes to things and move them along too quickly. The worst being with emotions.
I vote for thread to remain aswell.
I tried to write something today and it just sucked. And usually I can't tell when its bad, so not a good sign...
At its core, this thread is about writing, as are the other threads in the General Writing Interest forum. I believe this thread is in the proper place. It serves the AW community.
The thread is titled, "What's on your mind about your writing?" Not "What's on your mind?" Still, it's an open question and the responses are off the cuff, from the heart, non-linear. It's a sounding board about writing, not a thread to disseminate information about writing, although I don't think either of those is mutually exclusive of the other.
A lot of people write in isolation. I think it's important to have a place where writers can talk about how they feel about their work, and share that with other writers.
