You can find the RSS feed here, if that’s what you were asking.  I’m trying to get WR59 finished now.

Chris.

There was in my opinion nothing wrong with this chapter. I found the previous chapter a bit sudden, but luckily I only read that one today, so I could read this one immediately after.

“Yes!” I growl emphatically.  “For fuck’s sake, I’m fine!  Will you leave it alone!”

Your dialogue is pitch-perfect Chris.  Stop being so hard on yourself.  Self-criticism is worthwhile to a point but after that it just becomes a burden to the creative process.  Forget about the schedule and write.  Writers (all artists) need space.  Give yourself the space to create and you will create amazing things.  There may be an audience waiting but nobody’s going anywhere.  Your fiction is good enough to keep people waiting a long, long time.  You capture emotion in dialogue beautifully and your pacing is just right.

Thanks for that.  :-)  I’m getting the impression I get angrier at myself for missing my deadlines than you guys do.  As a result, I’m trying to take it a bit easier on myself when the writing just doesn’t come together (as it hasn’t been a lot, lately). 

In any event, I’m doing some programming this morning, instead.  Apart from getting to feel I’ve accomplished something, I think a little distance from the writing is what I need today. 

Thanks to you and everyone else for your support and for continuing to read the story.  It means a lot to me.

Chris.

I sit down and tell myself how happy I am for noticing.
Thn I make a plan:
First I shut down my PC.
Second: I pack myself in my warmest jacket.
Third I go for a walk, a long one, and let the wind pull at my hair. I give all that frustration to the wind. Because I most often write late in the evening, I don’t have to deal with lots of pedestians, so I can yell at the night sky . . . 
(Fourth) When the frustration is dealt with, I go home and paint. I put all that is in me, all the turmoil, on the paper. (These pictures are not supposed to look “nice”.)
(Fifth) When it is all on the paper, I don’t have to carry it any more. I file the picture away, and start with a new document, an empty page, write again.

Sometimes it is enough, sometimes I need to take a day more (or two) and not worry about writing, do something nice for the child within: Rent a stupid movie, go to the aquarium, listen to nurturing music.

I don’t know WHY I wanted to share this, but here it is anyway . . . 

Wish you all the support and patience you need.
I will sertenly be here to read your output.

Good night

Katrin

In any event I enjoyed it for the feeling of his anxiety in the dream coming to light.

As a note: When I find myself frustrating through an uncooperative segment I keep a nice big bottle of rum next to me to alleviate the stress. ^_^
