I would love any comments you have.

Update on Short Story Progress

I added another 2,000 words, last night. This is the third story I've written that I know I'll complete. I feel like the first draft is a bit more polished than it was on my first two stories. This is very encouraging to me, I think I've learned some things, and it seems they're beginning to show in my work!

Wrote about 1,000 words today, it felt good. 5,000 feels better, but you take what you can get.

My New Way of Wriitng

A new way I've been writing is on my Blackberry. I'm not saying it's ideal, but you'd be surprised how fast you can get used to the little keyboard. I was a skeptic myself. It fits into my busy life. The other day I was waiting for an order to come out in a restaurant for about 10 minutes. I pulled out my blackberry and wrote quite a few long paragraphs while I waited. I use the time I'm not writing to solidify what I'm going to write next, so when I finally have even ten minutes to write, the words just fly out. I used to always try to carry note cards and pen, but they're easy to lose. In my blackberry, I just hit save, or email it to myself, and it's backed up. Also, since it's my phone, I always have it with me. No more notes on scraps of paper! I wrote this very blogpost from my Blackberry.
