Synergy

September 9th, 2007 by Lia Sebastian

Not feeling so good today, though I feel marginally better after taking a long nap. Unfortunately, I missed out on a fun concert with six bands. I’m kind of vexed about that. Why can’t we get sick at convenient times? (Is there ever a convenient time to be sick?) /End Whine.

I’ve been listening to more RWA conference classes this week. One was on finding your writing style, and I found it quite illuminating. The speaker talked about being a left-brained writer or a right-brained writer, and on the importance of reaching a kind of synergy.

For writers like me who start a lot of stories, finding that synergy means going back to a story and finishing it. Other writers may struggle with the internal editor who keeps them from moving forward in a story until the previous chapter is perfect. Those writers somehow need to tap into whatever will allow them to get the story out.

I’m oversimplifying, but I encourage writers to listen to this presentation if they have a chance: Figuring Out Your Creative Process by Carla Neggers. You might find it as illuminating as I did.

Laboring

September 1st, 2007 by Lia Sebastian

It’s Labor Day weekend, and in addition to getting some much needed rest and relaxation, I’m determined to get a bunch of work done on my WIP. I’m posting it publicly, so now I need to live up to it. I do have some fun things planned for the weekend, including family time and some reading, so it won’t be all work.

Yesterday I bought the Harry Potter 5 soundtrack. The music for that is great. Anyone else a fan of soundtracks?
