Someone to Lean On

Sun May 31, 2009, 5:53 PM
I've got a lot of writing done I promise but I'm just slow to post them.

At the beginning of the year, I made a New Year's resolution to try and improve my writing. So starting on January 1, 2009, I have written something new every single day. However, they are not just separate pieces. They are all told by the same character. I basically let this one character tell a different part of her story every day. And it's gotten kind of long. (Yeah, I realize this constitutes a "You have no life.")So far, the one thing I'm halfway sure of is the title of the entire piece: Someone to Lean On. Recognize the botched "Lean on Me" lyric?

I'll probably be posting them up later on when they're past the rough draft stage.

I have no idea if this routine has improved my writing at all but I've received advice some reliable people who say that writing a little bit everyday is helpful to one's art. So, my question is: Do you guys think that's true? And do you have another routine or technique you use to improve on your art whether it be writing or something else?

I would have told her that
she was the only thing
that I could love in this dying world
but the simple word love itself
already died and went away
You're welcome!

Gosh, thanks so much for the faves on my crow creation tale and Charm, the crow.

With the kids home for the summer, it's been hard to get online and to get any art/ writing done!

It's been such a nice summer so far. Not as hot and sticky as usual and I'm paying an out-of-work teen (she's in the same union as I am and we're both on strike...) to help me clean and organize my house... best money I ever spent. I know I have two teens of my own, but they're busy with boyfriends and whatnot. My younger daughters are having a great time with the paid teen, the teen has some mad money and I have more time to spend with everyone .:D
