Funny how...

Actually writing helps you improve your writing!

Amazing ain't it?

Over the past two weeks I've started two stories and reworked a third so that it is pretty much a new work.

Now, I still need to buckle down and finish them, but I've started, I've written, I've been working on them.

I have deadlines on when I want them to be done. (Well, in a couple cases, NEED them done.) And man, is it fun!

My earlier post on slowing down was answered in a very good way by a poster on AbsoluteWrite. I do too much "telling" not enough "describing."

I "tell" what happened "Jack ran across the bridge."

I need to work on "describing" what happened, "Jack sprinted across the rubble strewn bridge, heart pounding and muscles burning from the effort."

Something like that.

Anyway, I love writing. I don't know if I am or ever will be any good at it, but that doesn't mean I can't have a blast!
