As the Wind Blows

amydwestphal

I keep waiting for something. Something major, interesting. Anything worthy of a blog post but it simply doesn’t come.

I want to bring you news! Something spectacular!

But I’m not without one thing. I have hope. I have movement. I continue to trudge along, but only as the wind blows. I’m letting it take me. No pressure.

I send my queries and check them daily but they don’t rule me anymore. I’m writing, I’m reading and connecting. It’s a good place to be.

Until something something truly spectacular happens, I’ll keep enjoying the breeze.

Until then.

Cheers,

Amy

WIP IT

amydwestphal

As my query responses seem to lull at the pace of the changing seasons, I’ve finally dusted off my long dormant WIP.

Queue applause and accolades.

Skimming it, I’m glad to see that I’m still into it. Unfortunately it seems I’ve four versions of it. I attribute that to swapping between one drive mobile and pc only. But, after stitching sections together I have a decent first draft. Not too shabby, although I rue autocorrect. Rue it I say.

Now the challenge will be to see if I can be more electronically organized this time around. I’m looking at trello and scrivener as possibly tools. Tools used by far more experienced writers than myself. Or maybe I’ll just pants it. I realize that’s imprudent but I regard free form intuition as my most effective creative tool. (I’m also terrible with computers and a creature of handwritten habits.) But I digress…

How do you guys organize you’re WIPs. Inquiring minds need to know.

Cheers, Amy
