Getting Back in the Groove | Operation: Write
https://jaybirdpn.wordpress.com/2011/11/08/getting-back-in-the-groove
In which I try to write a lot. November 8, 2011. Getting Back in the Groove. This week I am trying to get back into writing on a consistent basis. It had been a couple weeks since I did any substantial writing. I wrote on a Monday,was on vacation from Tuesday to Tuesday, took Wednesday off, wrote Thursday, then continued to be burned out Friday. So this week I’m trying my best to get back in the groove. Today was my first real day back writing. I finished the introductory chunk to part 3 and I feel p...

https://jaybirdpn.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/that-one-time-i-really-had-to-pee-and-didnt-but-eventually-did
In which I try to write a lot. April 26, 2010. That one time I really had to pee and didn’t (but eventually did). This story was in the back of my mind as a potential follow-up to my recent tale of bathroom adventures. Let’s get to it. The only toilet in the vicinity was outside in his dad’s trailer, which was an awkward trip to say the least. I was always uncomfortable around his dad even though he was usually a pretty nice guy. I always timed my bathroom trips wisely with others so I neve...Until that ...

In which I try to write a lot. August 11, 2011. Fiction: Far Away Man. There is a man that lives far away. Alone, in his cottage, he doesn’t view the world like us. There aren’t the same problems out there. He doesn’t worry about politicians or debates. He doesn’t particularly care. As long as the sun rises each morning and sets each evening, well, he’s just fine. In the shower he coughs blood. Just another problem. He doesn’t need to see other people. He’s just fine with that. Everyt...Just another prob...

In Which I Write A Lot | Operation: Write
https://jaybirdpn.wordpress.com/2011/09/21/in-which-i-write-a-lot
In which I try to write a lot. September 21, 2011. In Which I Write A Lot. When I started this blog almost two years ago, it was because I hardly had anytime to write. I was in graduate school, working a job, and pretending to be a grown-up. All in all I was a really busy guy and needed an excuse to write. This blog was my excuse. Writing a novel is something I’ve always wanted to do, but never realistically pursued. I have little to no knowledge of writing beyond what I have taught myself....Yes Writing...

Aberdeen | Operation: Write
https://jaybirdpn.wordpress.com/2011/12/08/aberdeen
In which I try to write a lot. December 8, 2011. I’m at a Safeway in Aberdeen, Washington and I’m happier than I’ve been in a long time. It’s getting late and I’m starting to get tired and I’m searching the aisles for dinner and I can’t stop smiling. My legs hurt and my sight is blurry and I’m practically euphoric. Maybe it’s because I’m seriously considering buying a toilet bowl scrub from a Safeway in Aberdeen, Washington. She opens her salad dressing and it goes flying. Was it ranch? So much had happe...

In which I try to write a lot. October 4, 2011. Some days are harder than others. Sometimes the story is getting slow or I hit a dead end. Sometimes I’m just not in the best of moods. Those are the hard days. Sometimes though, the story just comes to life before you and you don’t even feel like you are making things up but just writing down what is happening. Those are the easy days. How many of those people are there? What did he say again? And posted in The Novel. In Which I Write A Lot. Enter your com...

Weights | Operation: Write
https://jaybirdpn.wordpress.com/2011/08/16/weights
In which I try to write a lot. August 16, 2011. If there is one thing that makes you feel like an idiot while moving, it’s moving weights. 8220;Jesus, dude, what’s in this box? 8220;Oh that box? Just heavy matter.”. I mean, the things are designed for one sole purpose: to be heavy. I can’t think of another item whose sole purpose is to be a force. 8220;Oh, your own weight set? You must use them a lot.”. 8220;Nope, never touched them.”. 8220;Why don’t you just get rid of them then? There are more weights!

In which I try to write a lot. October 17, 2011. There are days when I wake up and just know it is a bad day. Writing is going to be a chore. I sleep in, I procrastinate, I put off sitting down in front of my computer for as long as possible. When I finally open up Word, I just stare at the blinking cursor. All I want to do is close the window and go back to doing something else. This entry was posted on Monday, October 17th, 2011 at 10:03 pm and tagged with first novel. And posted in The Novel.
