WIP Challenge Check-in, Day 9 -- Sunday

[linaewen]

Greetings, linaewen at your service for this new week of checking in!  I don't usually post this early when it's my turn for it, but I'm having a bit of insomnia, so I thought I'd go ahead start things off for this week.  ;-)

Has today been a fresh start for you, the first day of a new week of writing possibilities?  Tell us how you spent your day, writing or otherwise.


For discussion:

J.R.R. Tolkien once said in a letter,  "I wrote the Trilogy as a personal satisfaction, driven to it by the scarcity of literature of the sort that I wanted to read."  Is this a good description of why you write?  Why or why not?

I got some writing done. I've still got time tonight, so I'll likely write more. I just have to soldier through this scene, and the rough draft of this chapter will be done. I need to go through and stick in the stuff the main character is hearing from the next room. It was a distraction I didn't want to deal with as I wrote the main conversation.

I write because I need to. It's not so much that I'm writing stories I want to read as that the stories want to be told. I think I'd write even without an audience. An audience helps me focus, but I think I'd write without one.
