(no subject)

So I said to myself earlier today, I said, "Cass? You need to update your writing journal." Apparently I said it louder than I thought, because the_bookshelves promptly updated. Neat. Has my cerebral cortex gone wireless? Man, I've gotta invest in a firewall or somethin'. I'm probably all spyware infested already.

First, a week after the fact: ( The Writing Workshop )

So if any of the writers on my friends list need any info about publishing, hit me up. I probably have a pamphlet and/or a website for it.

In other writing news, I've been working on a story lately and having a ball. I'm almost writing it twice at once - I started it longhand, and am still in the process of penning it. But I've gone back and started typing what I've written so far, adding and culling things as I go. I'm enjoying the process a lot. What I write longhand feels chunky and soupy, cluttered but raw and right out of my head. Then I put it on the screen. Just seeing it typed in nice, clean characters in black on a white background is making the story come alive again, clearer and more defined, and is making the editing process feel a lot more involved and lively than it has when I've typed my first draft. I'm going to have to do this more often.

It's due for crimsonata on Friday, so I'll post it here then, assuming I'm done. I'm pretty sure I will be. That is, if I stop making LJ posts and get back to actually writing. *cough*

SO! How about you folks, my lackadaisical readers / fellow writers? What projects are you working on / putting off? Any new and interesting ideas bite you on the butt lately? I've had a few, but I really want to concentrate on this one and get it out of the way. I want to actually finish some things this year. (Other than school papers, anyway.)
