Writing Progress: Mythology

Today, I  strayed from my dialectical form of poetry and ventured into storytelling. I wrote the first draft of a short story that has been on my mind. It also deals with myth. I taught an Introduction to Mythology course this spring and it inspired my sense of storytelling. I can tell you that it deals with matters of the heart. By the way, initially I was ambitious with my wanting to give daily updates. I will, rather, give periodic updates. I will give at least one weekly update. Enjoy your evening.

Thursday Thoughts: Consistency

The weather has been so nice today.  I couldn't have planned it better myself.  I thank God.  He gives us relief from the sweltering heat.  Well, today I actually sat down to write.  I started by revising a poem that I plan to submit, and then I worked on an outline for my next book.  I'm excited about it; I want to share my progress with you as I write.  Sharing my progress will keep me motivated.  There's something about being transparent.  If I don't share my progress with someone, I will only be accountable to myself.  However, if I am documenting my progress and sharing it with interested readers, it motivates me to be consistent.  Yes, consistency is what I need.  It's what I need for every good thing in my life.  Anyway, I am finished with my outline and ready to get this off my chest.  Don't worry, none of my writing will start with the phrase, "...a dark foggy night." *giggle*  Enjoy the rest of your day.  Peace~
