What wicked this way comes....
Saturday, 1 June 2013 17:42Now that I have a moment to sit down and chat I am taking it.
Phew! It has been a busy and crazy week. There have been a lot of things going on. So much so that very little creative writing has happened. Now that doesn't mean writing hasn't happened. Deii has been working on writing stuff, it just hasn't been the stories.
You see, she has a writers retreat that she does once a year. It is good. It inspires, but it takes time and organization. So right now she is working on classes for that. Mini workshops that will keep the group busy. There are three that she has taken on. She is considering dropping one and making it a discussion time. It will depend on her sanity level. (I keep telling her to take it easy but she only partially listens on things like this.)
Now the other thing that I want to talk about here... yes, I am putting on my serious glasses. Yes, I have serious glasses, they are really cool. The other thing that has been on my mind is something that I am slightly hesitant about. It is a good thing but at the same time it is just another thing, another distraction.
Deii has an idea for creative-ish writing. Twelve month long challenges. Some are easy and we would be doing anyway even if she didn't make them challenges. (the classes for the retreat and NANO.) But the others might be distractions from the writing of the stories. I haven't totally thrown my cape in on this but I haven't really said now either. I am reserving judgment just yet.
This month, with the retreat, will be the determining factor on whether or not we take on these challenges. It will definitely be interesting.
