WRITING PROJECTS:

1. Journal
2. "The Underwater Story"
3. Edit "The Cricket"

PROGRESS: I started the day with some much needed private journal writing, then worked on "The Underwater Story," but the novel is seeming hopeless again and I wonder if all writers feel this about their novel at some point. I have heard horror stories of novelists tossing away a novel after working on it for years, but I'm not quite ready to do that with this one yet.

START TIME ROUND #3: 11:00PM
PROGRESS: I broke away from "The Underwater Story," and started reading the book 59 Reasons to Write. The book inspired me to follow some of the writing prompts and I made the decision to always do a warm-up writing prompts before beginning long term projects. I have added writing prompt entries to this blog and will soon post as to why I find them useful and important.
