Romance news

[resonant]

I'm beginning to feel like I only show up in LJ either to whine or to extort congratulations from everyone. Today I'm doing the latter: The first draft of the romance novel is finished! Whoo-hoo! [insert wild undignified capering]

I also want to thank the anonymous LiveJournal fairy who extended my paid account. Would you care for some smut in return? You can leave me an anonymous comment.

After wasting a lot of my writing time noodling unproductively (or playing Alchemy), I finally discovered the Four Pillars of Overcoming My Own Personal Procrastination Habit:

1. Outline the hell out of it first.

2. Write it in longhand. The computer is a big box of procrastination.

3. Require myself to write 500 words a day. That's not very much, really -- five pages of the little hand-sized spiral notebook I use -- but it's steady progress.

4. Every day, leave off in the middle of a sentence. That way it's easier to get started the next day.
