#Today 15

Good day!

Rock Creek flows…

I, too, flow, always moving forward. I try to be new, to grow. When we cease to grow, we die.

And so I write, and so I hike, both outflows that require freedom, because freedom is the fertile soil that enables growth.

Be everwell.

so far…

My creativity is quite well. Thank you for asking.

After all, I published my 2nd book, A River in Each Hand.

Meanwhile, I’m halfway through the novel scan on Book-5, which means I’ll be able to start editing Book-4 this month despite time on…

Hiking photography adventures. I’ve gone on two this month already amidst sunflowers, ninebark, lupine, Indian paintbrush, & more while enjoying pine forest & glorious vistas.

writing without editing

I don’t bake the cake while mixing the ingredients.

Long ago, I stopped editing while drafting (aside from quick typo fixes), I ceased perfecting what I’d later change during my editing phase.

My productivity soared. I completed works. Lots of them, including 2-dozen novels, half of which I’m publishing.

For me drafting & editing are separate functions. Switching continually crippled accomplishing either task.

#Today 14

Good day!

I hiked on Babcock Mountain above Rock Creek yesterday. Steep? Enough to wake my vertigo, which kept telling me to stare down the slope so I could tip…

I didn’t.

Meanwhile, I’ll pass halfway on the novel scan today—after my walk.

The feet want to move…

Be everwell.

Talk to Me Day Question:

In the climate/magic series you’re writing, what’s the relationship (if any) between technology and magic?

notes

In the earliest stages, I have a lot of notes from brainstorming & inspiration. I’m guessing that anywhere from 70-90% of those make it into the narrative outline, though they might be drastically altered. It could be higher.

As for the next stage…

Think of the narrative outline as a straight, horizontal line, like a steady note. The draft sings that note, but with vibrato, a squiggly line over a straight one.
