Progress, But Not Writing

Wednesday, November 4, 2015

Written by Kodi Wolf at 2:49 PM

How do you measure progress? Is it only the number of new words added to a story? Or can it also be the part where you're spending time figuring out the story?

Spending time brainstorming is still one of those things I have a hard time justifying, like I'm goofing off or something, but I'm learning that it's absolutely essential to my writing process.

For some reason, I have this idea that I'm just supposed to know how to do something or what to do or when to do it without ever taking the time to actually figure it out. I seem to think I should just be able to sit down at my computer and start typing out a scene, even though I don't know which scene to write or what should go in it because I haven't finished outlining the story because I haven't finished organizing my notes because they're scattered in dozens of different places and files.

I want to start at step 10 (writing my story) when I haven't gone through steps 1-9 (organizing, brainstorming, outlining, planning, etc.).

So, even though the workaholic, hypercritical part of me wants to put me down because I haven't written much actual story text the past couple weeks, the truth is I've made phenomenal progress on getting Lights of Life organized and outlined in preparation for actual writing. I still have plenty more to do, but I'm getting there.

I'm also learning the fine art of "enough," so I think I'll stop for now.

Hey,

Sorry for the fake out, but I don't collect email addresses for marketing purposes.

I was just told I needed an email signup form on my pages, so I created this one as part of the original design, then changed my mind, but decided to leave this here as an Uno reverse card. :)

Anyway, my stories are my sales pitch and if the free chapters (and entire books) aren't enough to convince you to pay for access to more of the same, then I don't see how my bugging you with emails is going to change your mind.

Plus, I have social phobia and trying to come up with marketing emails is my definition of an anxiety-inducing nightmare.

Not to mention that's not what I want to be doing with my precious writing time or wasting your precious reading time.

So, if you want to get an email from me, you'll either have to purchase a Story or Site Membership, or email me directly and talk to me about my stories.

Or ask me a question and I'll do my best to answer.

But seriously, email me about my stories.

Tell me what you liked, what you wish I'd done differently, your favorite scenes.

Especially if there's one story in particular you'd like me to update. I know some of them have been sorely neglected and it motivates me to work on them when my anxiety and chronic pain are making that more difficult than usual.

Hope to hear from you soon. :)

Take care,

Kodi
