So, I'm about halfway through "On Writing" and I've gotten to the writing exercise regarding the abused spouse. I'm thinking, SURE I can put down six pages on this. Yeah. NOT. I am apparently incapable of a short story.
I also have three other works in progress, four if you count the piece I'm outlining for NaNoWriMo. I don't really outline - I just kind of do characters and regurgitate events into my computer. And you, being an utter bastard, got another one going. Thanks. This is a family forum so I won't call you the other names that come to mind.
Also, for a man who complains about his eyesight twice in the first half of this incredibly helpful book, quit using such a damned tiny font in your printed books. Kindle isn't nearly as useful for scribbling and sticky notes, but it does have scalable fonts.
In any case, here are the first few pages I scribbled down in about an hour. I haven't decided if I will finish it, but it's soon to be Halloween, so perhaps I will.
