Hoorah! At last, after an overload of dithering, I am back on the path that Julie Cohen recommends and writing sh*t.
Don’t you hate it when people put an asterisk in a word, converting a perfectly good piece of Old English into the illegitimate cousin of a euphemism? It’s as though it’s somehow more pol*te.

Not getting at anybody in particular and I’ve done it myself many times over the years. Anyway – main point, writing!
Me too Ath. As of this morning. Mine is utterly shit too. 177 words of complete garbage so far. And I don’t care! I might even try to write another 100 words of tosh before lunch!
But CONGRATULATIONS. If I could remember how to insert an emoji, I would. So just imagine champagne bottles popping, streamers and smiley faces.
🙂
I haven’t written any shit today, because I haven’t written anything at all. I’m mulling stuff over. But one H*rry B*ngham once pointed out that he’d spent a whole week in his study mulling things over and not writing a single word, and still counted it as writing time because it produced results later. A murrain on daily targets, that’s wot I say.
Yes, but my mulling had moved on to how to add to my collection of noir films, or should I make myself another PC and had even reached the outskirts of ‘I wonder what’s on Channel 4’. Luckily that turned out to more Brexit so I started writing again.
The most immediate problem is that my characters are having a conversation and won’t stop bloody talking to each other, so I’ll have pages of dialogue to sort out eventually.
And congratulations on the tosh, Jane!
and now I can only see my original update and my own first reply. No other replies and no ‘show all replies’ prompt.
I’m just getting your two comments, too. So I reckon the rest were so full of swearing that the Den went all puritanical on us??
Yep, not pointing fingers but somebody here is 100% potty-mouth!
Your bug work around worked! I managed to find all the comments. Congratulations on all your characters talking. I rewrote the first chapter of my WIP for the thousandth time this morning. It might be getting close to being THE ONE. But there again…
Hoorah, your kind comment has made the ‘Show all 10 comments’ button to appear, for me anyway.
Congrats on getting back to writing, Ath. And working round the program glitch.
