To be honest, this was spur of the moment.
I was in a writing slump after months of editing seventy-two chapters of a story, only to find out I had thirty-eight chapters left to write (insert emoji here). In my mind, the perfect solution was to procrastinate on Wattpad; read from my virtual stack of books, touch base with a couple authors still plugging away at their craft, and wait for the spark of inspiration to hit.
During that undisclosed period of time, I stumbled across something random that inspired me, and I realized I didn't need to finish that damned 110 chapter novel. At least, not right now. The fictional world in my head will continue to spin on its axis until I get back. I need to connect with the 'real' world (notice the apostrophes emphasizing the looseness of the word real). Apologies to my family and friends who might interpret that statement as a slight to their existence.
In any event, to satisfy my need for human interaction, I am a lonely writer after all, and to help me hone my writerly skills, I decided to write some shorter pieces that might actually see the light of day before pigs start to fly. Let's call this thing my writing log, which should not be mistaken for a writing 'blog' (notice the apostrophes again), because I missed that train and could care less where it's off to.
So, to get the ball rolling, I composed an A to Z list of droll things about me. I shanghaied the idea from a Wattpad writer who was consenting to the same challenge. Hat's off to Gavin the Orangutan for his constant inspiration. Here's hoping this thing sprouts wings and inspires other writers, or at least provides a ham steak and a few slices of bacon. Mmm... bacon.
Read. Ponder. Go on with your day.
