short update

I’ve deleted the bookmarks to most of my fiber arts mailing lists (I’m remaining subscribed, but not checking them) and have subscribed to two mailing lists for creative nonfiction writers. I’ve read through about 1/2 of Creative Fiction: How to Live it and Write It by Lee Gutkind, and I’m rapidly getting excited about this writing stuff.

Plan: write at least 1-2 hours per day, with a minimum of 10 minutes working on a “free write”, and most of the rest focused on the book. Remember to play with writing and not get bogged down in the seriousness of it all.

I think I’m really going to love this, now that I’m approaching writing as a craft, not as an individual project.
