A Man With A Plan

Tonight I am going to sit down and get some words written tonight.  I havent really written anything since the start of the week, I could come up with a load of excuses but I’m not going to.  If you’ve been following me for a while you’ll recall that I had a burnout a few weeks, not just with writing but everything.  So I’ve had to scale back a few things and unfortunately writing was the one thing that took the brunt of being scaled back.  Also the WIP I’m working on is not how I normally write.  I was talking to a friend, Cinta Garcia  ( http://wp.me/26F5t ) there’s the link to her blog, but we were talking about writing from plans which is what I am doing at the moment.  My writing partner, Owen, has written a great little story which I am re-writing so it flows better and so that we have various little details for the world building process.  Owen says I make it more literary as well, but this means that I am working from a plan which is not my normal style.  I’m an organic writer, I almost never write to a plan, I write until the story ends.  Normally I know how the story is roughly going to pan out but not it any great step by step guide.  I think this is maybe another reason why I am struggling to get back into my writing routine again.  I wrote a random little story Monday and I knocked out 900 words in half an hour, so tonight I’m going to write something totally fresh and new, maybe an idea that has been in my head for a while.  Lets see if this gets me back into the habit of getting words out of my head.
