I have decided to post this unedited to show a process… hopefully it works.Some days I can sit down and crank out 3000 words. Some days I must drag myself to the keyboard.Today is one of the latter days. Last night I wrote about 2000 words at a setting, today I am finding it hard to even begin my blog. But if you notice I am still writing. Even though it is hotter than Hades here, I have a killer headache and I have not had nearly enough coffee I am still writing.I am sitting here, just doing what I consider free-form writing, putting down what comes to my mind, as I think of it. I will correct major spelling errors and typos just so I know what I am saying. I used to not correct major typos and I found I could not understand what the hell I was talking about.This is better now with word processors, if I had to do it freehand or on the old typewriters I would not be a writer. As an example, before word processors I was a solid c student. I had a hard time typing without error and with correction fluid that could be hell for writing. Added to the fact that my penmanship puts doctors to shame for unintelligibly. I can’t read my own writing.So, after I get my ideas down on paper, no matter how badly they suck, I would go back and read what I have, to see if any pearls had fallen out of my fingertips...No real pearls, but some road apples. I had to explain to a teacher the other day what a road apple was. If you don’t know google it. So, no real pearls for a blog that I can see buy maybe after the editing process I can find something, when my head is not killing me.It looks like I have no idea what my blog will be about this week. If I had to guess I would say process, or even how to overcome a block, but I am not sure either of those apply. I will say this might be a good blog on free-form writing and maybe showing a young writer how to do it. I am sure more experienced writers know what I am doing. Okay maybe good is a strong word, might passable work better?I will say, I am kind of surprised, I have written so many words about nothing. Reminds me a bit of a Seinfeld episode, I mean they were really a show about nothing right? Maybe this should be a blog about not how to overcome a block, or how to waste 30 minutes typing to a certain word count.Word counts. I had never thought of that. I know some writers swear by word counts. I don’t. The scary thing is when I start a story, I am never sure what the word count will be. Depending on the style and the genre, I start with a tale in my mind, but for the life of me I am not sure if it is going to turn into a novel, a short story, or a novella. I just tell the story with how many words I need to get my point across.Maybe that is the gem I have been looking for. Don’t get wrapped up on the word count. Use however many words you need to tell your story.I had no idea when I started this, where it would take me. Hopefully this is a passable example of free-form writing, if you don’t like it, sorry to have wasted your time.Peace out.
