Why am I blogging? Motivation. Blogging makes a goal public even if no one reads it. My goal: I want to write ficiton. I've wanted to write ficiton for years but I keep putting it off. I want to develop my skills as a writer. I have to start some where. If not now, when? My skills will never improve if I keep putting the work of writing off. Every great writer has to start at the beginning. So, this is day one.
I'm working on a short story about a women stuck in false perception. She developed that perception as a coping mechanism. I'm going to write a collection of short stories so that I can develop ficiton writing techniques.
I've discovered that I set up a scene really well but I have problems pulling in the action. I need to make my characters do something. I've been reading Chopin for inspiration.
Well, day one is finished.
