I haven't been writing lately

I haven't written at all lately. I was supposed to do NaNoWriMo but then I got a two big assignments from school which kept pushing my plans back. Now I have a very large paper due in 2 weeks. I decided not to do the writing plan this year.

I haven't written my short story either. I plan on starting it again within the next couple of weeks. I have a few ideas but I need to put them on paper. Hopefully soon I will start writing again.

Can you write a novel in 30 days?

NanoWriMo (sp?) is coming up in November. I really want to participate but I'm not sure how much I would get done. I don't work on 1 story at a time either. I write for whichever story I have the ideas for. Since I currently have 3 story ideas, how would I narrow down which one to write for?

I still have almost 3 weeks before it starts. Who knows, I may change my mind and participate.

Short story update

I haven't written in a long time because of school and just life in general. Next month is the writing challenge where you write a novel in 30 days. The bad thing for me is that it's supposed to be all one story. I tend to focus on one story but if I get a good idea for another story that I'm writing, I'll interupt and write for that one.

I guess this challenge will make me stick to a schedule. I just hope there's nothing pressing due for school next month.

I'm starting to write again

I've started my short stories again. Luckily for me I write a lot of stuff down. Quite a few of the ideas that I had for my short stories are written in a tablet that I still have. While I won't be able to re-write what I had written exactly, I'll be able to get a good amount re-written.

That's good enough for now.

What do you mean I have to write a paper to graduate?

I knew you had to write a paper in order to get your Master's Degree but this is for a bachelor's. Since I'm going to school under my old program, I don't have to take a lot of the requirements that new students have to meet. For instance, I don't need a research practicum class which is a big deal in my major. My advisor and the department chair have decided that once I meet all of my requirements, they want me to write a paper in order for my graduation application to be approved.

I guess it's a good thing that I don't have to take some of those classes. But writing a paper is a nightmare for me. I can blog all day long, but writing a school paper is another matter. One of my classmates recommended a site where I can get help with my paper. They have sample research papers, term papers and book reports. It's not even about copying a paper, it's just to show you what other students have written to give you ideas with your paper. The site even discourages you copying a paper.

I can go to this site, sign up and look around to get ideas for my paper. They even make it easy to cancel the service once I'm done with school. Since I still need 4 classes and can only take 1 at a time, I have a while to use the service. If you're still in school or going back to school, sign up and get help with your papers. With over 100,000 papers on every topic, you're sure to find what you need.

I never did write my short story

I was writing a short story last summer. It turned into 3 or 4 different stories by the end of summer. I never did finish any one of the stories though. I was so busy with work and school that I just never had time to finish any of the stories. I probably won't get to any of them this year. I plan on taking 2 classes in the summer and 2 in the fall so I'll be pretty busy.

Maybe I'll finish them one day.

I'm supposed to be writing

I was supposed to take some time today to write. I have no inspiration. I seem to write best when I'm either really stressed or ticked off.

I've been sitting staring at the computer screen for at least 2 hours and nothing. Not one single solitary idea. I need to get into a zone.

Using other women writers as my inspiration

I talk about my short stories that I'm writing. I look to other writers to get my inspiration. I read what they've had to overcome in writing their stories, where they get their ideas from, or how the get over writers block. Vickie Milazzo has written a book called Inside Every Woman where she talks about using the 10 strengths you didn't know you had to get the career and life you want now.

When you visit the site, you can also read a free chapter. I always like to read stuff from people like Vickie, she into self-improvement and living up to your potential. She's also a Wall Street Journal best seller and her book is on its 5th reprint. Now that's the kind of success I'm hoping for.

My short story

I didn't work on my story at all this week. I have to get busy. Maybe I need to get ticked off again. Whenever I'm upset or ticked off, I get extra motivation and type my little heart out.

Sigh, this probably means that I have to do around 4 chapters this week instead of 2. Blah.

My short story

I'm going to use my blog to update my progress on my story. I actually did start it. I finished chapters 2 and 3. I'll go back and add chapter 1 at a later time. My goal is to write 2 chapters a week this summer. By the time school starts I should have at least 20 chapters done.

Since this is a short story, 20 chapters might be the end of the book. I didn't write the first chapter because I already have it sketched out in my mind. I just need to write it down. I'll probably go back and add the first chapter then start chapter 4.

Writing my short story

In my post yesterday, I talked about writing my short story. Just to let everyone know, I'm not writing the story because of my man troubles. I have had this story in my mind for a while now. I also set up a schedule last week where I would write for 2 hours all weekend. I didn't write yesterday but I will get started on my story today.
