Made it back to OH.

Wasn't going to do a writerly ways this weekend but one of my friends struck up a conversation with me about it so....

i've had white page syndrome all week. my friend defined it as 'It's when the computer with its pages laughs back at you, come on fucker, you know you can't beat me, nah-nah-nah-nah, and sentences arrive on it bloodied and gasping for life, like cripples born on a battlefield' Boy does that sound familiar.

Usually I write fast. I honestly rarely agonize over a word but then again my first drafts are rough, frightening things, often nothing but talking heads awaiting another go around. I'm not sure i've ever thought about how i write much.

I'm sloppy. That's the first thing that comes to mind. I'm as sloppy in my writing as I am in my every day life. The punctuation barely exists. I know whole things will have to be shifted about or deleted. I know my first readers will throw things at me screaming 'more description' But for the most part i hear the characters and they tell me what to write and if it's fanfiction, if i can't hear that character I rarely write them well.

thoughts? sound familiar? Totally opposite of how you write?

and in case you missed it Holiday Card Request

And if you usually get one from me...still tell me you want one. trust me i won't remember unless i have a list
