Meanwhile, Aboard the Failboat: Write1Sub1 – Week #2 Check-In

Day 088/366 - March 28th

Shivering timbers aside, last week it seems I began setting up to start sinking my own battleships. This week isn’t looking so clear on the horizon either, but hey, it’s only Wednesday and I’m generally optimistic (when not stealing away to drink down half-empty glasses of what-have-you).

W1S1 Week 2: Sooooooo How’d You Do?

The Write Part: Let me be the first to admit… I cheated. I didn’t “write” anything new. I did post on LensWright, buuuuut I didn’t produce fresh content. I had something lazing around languidly in the archives since August and upon a reread thought it would do well with the image. I certainly tweaked it here and there, but it’s not “new” writing. It’s new writing for you, sure, but not for me. Iceberg! Straight ahead!

The Sub Part: Nothing. Nada. Cero. Rien.  This is not a proud moment for me. Especially with all the potentially promising drafts I have smacking their lips for a nice, fresh, thirst-quenching edit. It was sad, so sad, when the great ship went down!

Final Thoughts: This? This great ship of potential? It might have taken a wrong turn, blundering through the frigid waters of the Northern Atlantic, faced with sinking feelings and in need of some life preservation. Luckily, I’m good with direction and don’t give up that easily. Week 3 might already be almost at half mast, but I’ve got my sleeves rolled and all hands on deck. Bring it!
