Word Count Wednesday #10

What am I working on?

After the character building we did today in class I've decided to use that character in a story. When I finished writing the first chapter of my novel, I wasn't entirely happy with the outcome therefore I want to take a different approach this time using this new character.

How do I feel about the process?

I have always been one to make up a character as I wrote, but after today's activity I've  been exposed to a whole new world of character building. Moving forward I plan on always creating a character in depth before writing their story. 

What am I reading now?

I am still reading and having a lot of fun with The Road.

Word Count Wednesday #9

What am I working on?

Not much. I've just been working on the same projects as well as tinkering with a few ideas for some of the experiments. 

How do I feel about the process?

It has been a relaxing process just writing what I want when an idea pops into my head. 
 

What am I reading now?

I finally was able to pick back up The Road and have been reading that for the last couple of days.

Word Count Wednesday #8

I hope everyone is having a wonderful spring break. 

What am I working on?

I have not been working on much this week just spring break fun but I have bought a small notebook that I can carry around. After we talked about how to get more writing in I thought hey! let's give this a try. As someone who prefers writing with a pen, it seemed perfect. I've only written down random thoughts so far but hopefully something more concrete in the future. 
About 300 words

How do I feel about the process?

I love it. I feel like I feel more accomplished when writing something down. So I'm excited to see where this goes. 

What am I reading now?

Not much still just taking my time through On Writing.

Word Count Wednesday #7

What am I working on?

After learning about experiment #7 I am very excited to get started. I already have a few ideas jumping around in my head and can't wait to put something down on paper. I'm not sure where this experiment will take me and I can't wait to see what is the final result. 

How do I feel about the process?

While reading the chapter I was able to come up with ideas that were shot down and eventually more ideas that fit the definition well. I have yet to write anything but I expect it to be fun and maybe even a little challenging. 

What am I reading now?

I'm catching up on Stephen King's On Writing as well as reading a few of the chapters in 20 Master Plots.

Word Count Wednesday #6

First I wanted to say fantastic job to those who presented today and I can't wait to listen to the rest of them. 



WHAT AM I WORKING ON?

After a few weeks of not working on much of anything I've started to get back into the swing of things. After spending time on the narrative assignment I have been actively trying to not only progress the story but to make the necessary changes for a more congruent novel. I've changed quite a few things that I believe has made the story a better read. More recently I have written a short poem only a few stanzas so far. I'm not sure if I'm going to add much more to it at this time.

HOW DO I FEEL ABOUT THE PROCESS?

The process so far has been incredible. My creativity is flowing once again and I am eager to sit down and write more of whatever comes to my mind whether it's for my novel or for something brand new. 



WHAT AM I READING NOW?

I'm reading On Writing as well as a few poems from the Victorian Era for my English Literature class (fun stuff) and of course as many blogs as I can sink my teeth into.
