Decision and Introduction
Jan. 8th, 2010 09:43 pmI have finally decided what I'm going to use this journal for. It's going to be where I post my fiction - fanfic if I ever write it again, but also my original stuff. I've got more people interested in my writing and I'm not always comfortable with linking them to my personal blog. Ditto the reverse - I don't want those on my personal blog to feel they have to feedback everything I post. I'm getting more and more into the idea of writing for the sake of writing, of creating something and blowing the dust and cobwebs off various parts of my brain and here's an empty journal sitting around with nothing in it.
I have a project this year, thanks to a friend on LJ and my roomie. I enjoyed the NanoWriMo, a short-story writing project where you produce one story a day through November, but I did notice a lot of stuff seemed rushed or half-assed. So, this year, I'm going to challenge myself to a new project, which I'm calling Fifty-Two Pick Up. It's one new short story a week, every week, throughout 2010. A week to get the idea, write it, edit it and hone it. Should be a fun challenge, I think. I'll be posting every Sunday, starting this coming Sunday which is the 10th (yes, I know I technically should have started last week, but I challenge anyone to be creative or in fact functional after the large amounts of beer and small amounts of sleep I got last week!), and I'll be posting here in this journal, rather than LJ.
A bit of reposting first, however, just to shift things over to my "Official Writing Journal". I'll be reposting both Nano projects, so I have things all in one place. And as always, there will be judicious use of tags. :)
For those who don't know me so well, my online name is Rossi and I like to write. You'll pick up the rest as you go along. :)
