Quarantine Project Day 12
Yesterday I was talking about time and timing. The word time is the number one noun in terms of usage according to the Oxford English Dictionary. That means the subject is on the human mind more than any other subject, discounting of course the ones which are limited by any kind of taboo.
There's an interesting thought for a writer.
Blogging like this is having a strange result. It's surfacing some issues, doubts or challenges that I would normally keep the lid on. I've already said I tend to hammer on until the end of the novel in the hope and expectation of fixing everything in a subsequent draft. But these things are surfacing because I have to have something to talk about on this blog.
On the other hand, chalking up my word score every day has made me realise how Fatwatchers TM works. Public declaration is a great motivator. And so far... so far.. it hasn't had any adverse effect on my output.
I do have a serious structural issue that may explain why I'm generating material quite well - material I may have to dump or rearrange later. But I won't talk it about right now because I don't have the time.
And anyway today I can trumpet a musical 2066 words.
