Happy Friday (or close to it)! As you’ve probably noticed from this week’s posts, the annual RWA conference is over and done with and things are getting back to normal. I’m busy trying to go through all of the notes I took in the workshops and make some sense of them. I’m sure they made sense when I wrote them, but now I’m wondering about a few of them.
Writing-wise, the conference was productive for me, since I took advantage of some of the Writing Sprint sessions that were offered. Getting up for a 7:00am session was not my idea of fun but getting words on the page was. I’m hoping to keep up that momentum now that I’m back home, thought it undoubtedly won’t be quite the same sprinting in my pajamas from the comfort of my couch. It was very motivating being in a roomful of other writers who were busily typing away.
I’ll be busy at the Day Job all day today, but when I get home, I’ll be doing some sprinting on my Regency manuscript – trying to make some changes, based on ideas I picked up at the conference.
Care to join me?
For those of you working away on a story (whether a first draft or a polished version on its way to publication), we’d love to hear a bit – whether it’s a scene, a paragraph, or even a phrase that you are especially pleased with and would like to share. Seriously – feel free to share.
If you don’t have a story in progress, or just want to work on something new, maybe today’s writing prompt will catch your creative fancy. This week we’ve got a theme and some random words.
Ready?
Here is today’s theme: “A Roadtrip”
Here are today’s random words:
hideous beam wasp galloping
horizon critical fiasco cattle
consumption prophet agenda eating
breakwater circus hideout dust
Whether you’re sharing a bit of your current work or writing something fresh based on the writing prompt, we hope you’ll join us for today’s Story Time.
Happy writing to all!
