What are you writing about now?

[Maedhros_Nelyafinwë]

I just wrote 857 words, thanks to having finished work unexpectedly early. I just covered the important inciting of the battle, where the king moved his former knights to action. Exciting stuff!

Once in awhile some folks mention they've not seen much of my writing (except poetry snippets). It's true, as it's mostly all been about stuff I can't post here, or Sherlock Holmes essays etc.

I just realized I could stick Sherlock Holmes writings in The Green Dragon or The Prancing Pony, depending on which type of essay it was.

So I just stuck "Confessions Upon The Yellow Face" in The Prancing Pony. This one was published in journals in the US, Canada, and Japan. (Maybe also in England, but I forget if they stuck it in their journal.)

Anyway, gives you an idea of one type of my writing style, and my focus.

I might post another one or two just so anyone interested can see what sort of things I've spent time on in the (long ago) past.

I wrote/edited nearly 500 words in an hour and finally posted the first chapter!
Hope you all enjoy it!

 

[Maedhros_Nelyafinwë]

I still need to actually read your posted fanfic! I'll try to sometime later when I don't have a massive headache.

Take your time with it!

I'm at a coffee shop currently settling in for a 2 hour writing session! I'm excited!

 

[Tyelkormo the Fair]

Good luck!

 

[Maedhros_Nelyafinwë]

Wrote 1258 words and accidentally came up with a really epic line:

"The battle we fight today is a battle of patience. Fight it well."

I'mma add it to my favorite ones🙂

I kind of took your advice @Maedhros_Nelyafinwë !
I'm starting to drink tea during my writing sessions.
It's not black tea though,that just reminds me of breakfast 😂

Hey, nice! What kind of tea is it?

 

[Tyelkormo the Fair]

It's a combination of sour tea,green tea,cumin and pomegranate seeds

Oh, that sounds like an interesting tea blend! I've never tried that before. Yesterday I got some really fancy loose leaf green tea with cherry, but I have to use it sparingly because it was 10 dollars for one ounce! Gotta find a decently special occasion for it.

They are my favorite flavor so far,after it comes my jasmine flavored green teas
Flavored green teas are often expensive,I bought some berry flavored one in tea bags that barely tasted like anything,they just smelled like blueberries

There's nothing to do at work and I have to be in the office for 2 more hours, so I'm going to see how much I can write till then!

Awesome! Hopefully no surprise returns pop up to interrupt your writing session, and you can just enjoy it. Tea time!😃☕️

 

[Tyelkormo the Fair]

Good luck!

Good advice, Ent! I do have rather a bad habit of setting overly ambitious goals for myself, not completing all of it, and then feeling bad even though I got a lot done. Thanks for the encouragement, and good luck getting back into your writing routine as well!

Same here. Sometimes it seems the only way I can get things done is to set a ridiculous goal and achieve it. Until about six months , ago I always managed to meet my goal, but the burnout Ent speaks of has kicked in, so I am taking a short break.

TO THE WRITERS OF TTF:

The road goes ever on and on. We'd like to sit and write each day,
but ever life sees so much happen, seems we're thwarted every way.

Yet we must make space, place and time to find the ways to move along,
banishing all those distractions; letting them rule would just be wrong.

Intentional we all must be in working toward our final goal
and breathing life into our work, insuring it reveals our soul.

Along the way let's not forget our fellow writers, working too,
cheering all to keep on going, encouraging to make it through.

Our writing is no easy task, though so much joy it always brings
our help to one another may insure the work gets done, and sings.

The road goes ever on and on; when at its end the day is won,
we'll review the pathway taken, thankful because of the great run.

This has special meaning to me, ty Ent.

I'm so glad to see you all continuing to encourage one another and keep each other posted.
Have a great vacation @Aredhel Ar-Feiniel and thanks for writing, @Maedhros_Nelyafinwë.

I'm busily editing away on the new book of course, but realized I need to add one more book to my list of projects... an essential one, but of an entirely different nature.

In my 'quiet time' this morning, I was given this realization (revelation) regarding 'purpose' in writing as I continue to struggle a little over "why, what, and how" to write among the array of stuff before me...
.........................
"There is no Kingdom need or value in working to push more content(s) into a bag already containing all the 'right stuff' for the feeding of the people -- though there is often significant need to help them learn about its preparation for consumption.

There is great need, however, to push more into a bag still absent essential foods."
.........................
Was given me as I pondered and held up in prayer issues of 'why' Tolkien and Lewis wrote, in the arenas they wrote, and for what purposes.

It came along with the need for the additional book.

Due tell us more about this needed book!
