writing stuff

[redbird]

I'm working on one of the hinge points, where Mrs. Fish has reached her decision and the other aliens have to discuss it with her. Not sure what they decide, and what she does will be based on what Crescent says. At the instant, I think I need some outside event, either someone intruding or a medical problem (the alien equivalent of anything from a faint to a heart attack). Mutter mutter mutter, while cattitude paces with an O'Reilly reference book in hand.

I've set up a friends group for "discussion of writing." It's small, mostly people who also post about their writing process. If you want to be in it--or don't and think you may already be--let me know.

I'd like to be in it.

I suspect I may already be, but if not, please add me.

You and Rysmiel already are, because you've been posting about your own writing. (It started as a way for me to group people on my friends list who were doing that, in fact.)

If I'm not already in, please include me.

O'Reilly's Alien Medical Events in a Nutshell? What animal does it have on the cover?

I suspect the mosquito-dressed-as-Musketeer on Claudio Calvelli's O'Reilly-spoof Programming Intercal t-shirt would have the right degree of bestrewn-with-disturbing-appendage-ness.

I'd like to, if you'll have me.

I need to write about what I worked on over the holidays on the WIP.

I need to work on the WIP, for that matter. I think I nearly have a handle on this chapter.

Count me in if you haven't.

I have really no idea how this stuff works. Would it make matters easier if I did writing posts separate from my long rambles about everything else?

I'm not sure. I'll read both, regardless.

Having this subgroup is a bit like using the cut tags for the gym stuff--I can think aloud and report progress or lack thereof and not worry that I'm boring most of the people who read this.

I decided to mark all my writing posts "thud" for two reasons, firstly that's what I call the wordcount file on my computer, (err, because it's dull... and I wanted something that sounded dull) and secondly if they all had the same title I could easily separate them out if I wanted to look at just them.

I wouldn't mind being in it, not that I write much more than blurted-out short stories. I have someone in the back fo my head bugging me for a longer work, and I have no real idea how to even start going about it. Hence, my voyeurism of YOUR process might well end up being useful. :->
