Becoming the writer I want to be

I'm working on an article but I plan to do a essay between now and the end of August on Eliot and the concept of time

 

Can you elaborate on this? I do not know who this Elliot is.

 

T.S. Eliot, the poet. Have you ever heard of The Four Quartets?

 

Oh right lol, I know who you mean now. I have.

 

610 words today. On track to be done by Friday.

 

Oh good! I'm glad. So have you ever read the poems before?

 

I have not.

 

965 words today, chapter is done.

 

Would you want to read them?

 

Honestly I haven't really thought about it. What are they about?

 

Decided to read through and make edits for this weeks chapter today instead of putting it off till tomorrow. 2252 words, making this chapter one of the shortest in the book. I am officially past 190,000 words and am up to 544 pages. The next chapter is one I've been anticipating for a long time, looking forward to it.

 

They're like meditations on time and humanity and are considered to be some of his greatest poems. I adore the first one ("Burnt Norton") and plan to write my essay, particularly on just that one.

In other news, finished the writing project I've spent the past week on. I wrote 3534 words but edited it down to 3471 so I'm proud of myself for getting rid of over 60 words in my editing.

 

331 words to start the new chapter. I wanted to get more done, but this chapter is one of those where I want to take longer to write less, as it is too important to mess up. In fact, going to give myself 2 weeks to get this one done.

 

I'm proud of myself for writing over 3500 words last week.

 

Great stuff. You still writing articles and things of that nature?

 

Yes sir. Poems and maybe an essay or two. No haikus so far this month but I'm hoping to sit down and write some this week.

 

648 words today.

 

Really hitting a wall and doing nothing. I'm going to do a final letter and synopsis revision and query with what I've got tommorow.

 

600 words. Damn this chapter is tough going to write. The lore I have set up is so damn complicated and this is the chapter where I have to lay my cards on the table and actually explain some of it, otherwise the character's actions wont make sense.

 

1268 words today. This shit is getting esoteric lol.



MY THIRD EYE IS OPEN. THE TRUE MEANING HAS BEEN REVEALED.
