Comment on The Uncharted Muse by Lyn

Hey D! “Truncated” is the word for my writing time. I’m on “mum radar”, so if I try to get up early and write, for example, I get company. But that’s okay, it’s just the stage that my life is in at the moment and I’m very happy to have the love. What is really happening though, is my writing style is undergoing a change. It’s rather a fascinating process, but also very frustrating and not without pain. I’ve left off three projects so far (that is since end-November last year) simply because the stories, though interesting for me, are derivative … the person and voice that I’m using is no longer the person that I am. They’re the type of stories I wrote before I had undergone any number of personal epiphanies. I guess what I’m undergoing is a “voice-and-style-metamorphoses”. As we all know from experience, I have to put in the time and effort to get the stories “out”, before what my Muse is trying to make me do actually comes through (if it ever does). In other words, I feel the change, it just hasn’t happened yet, but I remain hopeful. I’m not even sure if this makes any sense, but since only my friends read my blog, I feel safe in putting it out there. So, the short answer is yes, I write regularly but only when I can, and that’s okay. What’s more, don’t you love this portrait of my Muse? Thank goodness for a free internet! xoxo -L.

Hiya Lyn ~ Are you able to write regularly again? I find the only way I can make it work is to sit down to write at the same time every days (first thing in the morning works best for me, and I’m not full of other people’s crap words yet). Whenever I get regular, after a week or two the magic starts happening.

Hey Steve, Then I’d better get cracking! I’m working on two short stories at the moment and aim to have at least one more up before end-January. Then it’s back to the novel. I needed a break from it after November: I was beginning to mutter in monotone and break into laughter at unexpected and inappropriate moments. (You know, acting like me, but stranger.) Thanks for the look-in, mate. You’ve made my day. Cheers, Lyn.

Ah Droog, you’re a hero; offering to read a Nano draft is going above and beyond. It’s sort of neat that the new month hits off with Halloween, tho’, as it means I’ll have a secret stash of candy to last me through the month. We shall see what I can roll out on a sugar-and-caffeine high. To paraphrase Pat Cadigan, “Wooo wooo….” Let the games begin…

Thanks Linda, I’m working on it! In the meantime, my post-it note says: “If you’re looking at me, you’re not writing!” Cheers. Lyn.
