The Writing Process

Just write. Don't think too much. Dob't Don't correct, just write. Practice writing - keep practicing. Use and trust your own voice. Lose control when you're writing. Forget ego. Write even if you don't feel like it. Don't be abstract - write the real stuff; give details and be honest.

I think of something to write about and post on my writing blog as well as continue the two memoir stories I'm trying to write - with the time I haven't got. I draw and post my weekly (ok, sometimes it's not every week) cartoon. I log in to Twitter and Tweet my writing and cartoon blog posts, as if they are the most important and interesting Tweets in the world today. Spend some time "interacting" (isn't that what we do?) with others on Twitter. Look for and hope there's some activity about ME! Follow some people. Hope that my Followers number gets fatter and juicier. Do the same for Pinterest - although by "Pinning" and having a poke around.

OK.  How's my personal website looking? How can I improve it, make it more relevant and interesting to other people out there? It's still a freebie website. Should I take that leap and fork out for a paid one? Will that make me look more professional and accomplished?

Got to build this "writer's platform". Shit, I'll make this thing a huge bloody oil rig with the biggest platform pylons you've ever seen. A Texan-writer's platform.

Haven't had dinner yet and I'm getting hungry. At least my lame lunch for tomorrow - as every other day - of  a crunchy peanut butter and Nutella sandwich is made. Two pieces of fruit, a little ziplock bag (these bags never seem to lock in the easy "zip" action as promised - or am I just buying the crap brands?) of nuts and a yogurt join the sandwich sitting in a plastic shopping bag, lying in the refrigerator. I'll use this same shopping bag the whole week.

Better go prepare and eat dinner now.

I don't have a Facebook account. That's right, don't have one. Great, that's at least one "writing" thing I don't have to do tonight.
