Mission accomplished.
Vacation is over and my Magic Spreadsheet chain is alive. It turns out that my two plan approach to
writing on vacation turned into a mostly one plan approach and I wrote at the
hotel at night, often after the family was asleep. There was a Starbucks in the hotel though, so
that helped. Plan B was used once on the
way home as I got my words done in the car.
That was the first time on vacation that I didn't drive!
While it’s good that I kept my habit alive, what I think I
have discovered may not be as good. I've
been trying to write a sci-fi story for the past month I guess. I've got a couple of chapters down and a good
bit of an extensive outline. The bad thing
is that I’m discovering that I may not be smart enough to write the sci-fi
story that I had in my head. If I did
the research necessary for this story, I don’t think I would have time to
actually write the story. I may have to
sit what I've got aside and work on something else in the meantime. It’s not like my writing can’t improve
anyway.
So, I’m faced again with what to do. It seems that I ask myself that a lot since I
started this writing habit. I’m thinking
about starting something new. Something
a little closer to what I like writing anyway which is something like
fantasy. Whether urban or epic, I’ll
have to mull that over and get back to you.
It seems that I have some thinking to do, so I’m gonna
go! Not to worry though, cause I’ll
still be right around here, write ‘n stuff!
