A writing workshop I found

I found a writing workshop late last night. It's called "Fast Draft Workshop" and is over at Romance Divas (RD). The idea is to just start typing and commit to writing twenty pages a day for two weeks. Some of the folks in the workshop isn't quite getting twenty pages, but they are happy with what that can do. Whether it's four pages, ten pages, twenty pages, or even better, more than twenty pages a day. The main point is to write. The rules are to not go back and read what you wrote the day before and to turn off that internal editor in your head. Then after the two weeks is over, that's when you go back and read, rewrite, edit, etc.

We'll see how I do. I'll have a problem turning off that editor that lives in my head. I'll try to update this blog as I work. Wish me luck. (LOL)

Busy life - sort of

Wow, I can't believe it's been this long since my last post! I've updated my MH web site, learned how to make maille (chain mail (armor)) and am working on a coif, a head piece to wear under a helm during battle. I'm also trying to learn how to quilt. Haven't gotten very far on that yet.

I just helped a friend figure some things out with her blog, and she taught me how to post under another name. There's nothing like learning something new. 8-)
