zolaTired today. I think it's just my allergies--it's been warmer and wetter than usual, so there's no shortage of mold spores. I shudder to think of how I would sound if we didn't have the air cleaner.
It's supposed to get up to the mid-60's this week, continuing the theme of the Winter That Wasn't. This is the hardest part of the year, I think. The weather is improving so I'm itching to get outside and do stuff, but it's WAY too early yet--aside from some basic picking up of tree limbs and that kind of thing, I won't be able to do much in the yard until the end of March.
I haven't done much with the writer's group this week, I'm going to try to get another critique in tonight, and that's going to have to be it until next week because I don't like to read other people's stories when I'm working on one of my own.
My story should be up for review there in another two or three weeks, it's going to be interesting to see what people have to say. I've been looking at the critiques of some of the stories I've commented on, and it's been gratifying to see that I'm saying the same things other people are saying.
I critiqued one story and got a really nice thank-you for it, so that made me happy. I am resolved to be as gracious to the people who critique my story as that author was. I have to say, the writing for fandoms has really paid off not just in my ability to put words together in sentences, but at recognizing what makes a good story "work".
After I critique, I'll probably work on the new one for a bit. It's supposed to be humorous, so I need to really be relaxed and a little goofy when I sit down to work on it, else I'll be way too serious and the jokes will fall flat.
I'm hoping to write a story every month.
