Ready Set Procrastinate--The Art of Being a Writer
Julia Driscoll, Mark Driscoll's mother in The Heart is a Lonely Hunter (title for now) This is, of course, Susan Sarandon, one of my favorite actresses.
I'm about ready to start writing for the day. I said that two hours ago when I first got up. Well, of course, I had to do chores; bills to pay, dog poop to pick up from the patio, dishes to wash, books to look for from Amazon. com (Evan Marshalls "The Eyes Have It" all about the study of eye communication, downloading section sheets from Marshall's workbook, and of course I had to download the latest version of Adobe reader (7.0. 6.0 would never do.) Now, I'm looking for the software that has aol read your ms. for you. I forget what it's called.
But now, I'm really ready to move on with my characters thoughts about their movements through the novel. I think I'm still on the police station-Mark's apartment scene although I might have finished that already. I intend to at least get to Mark's mother's house in the country.
I'm still looking up locations. Last night I watched a DVD documentary about Chicago's South Suburbs. If nothing else it was fascinating, especially since I pass these places on a regular basis.
It reminds me. When I was singing--way back in a former life--I was touring the Midwest with "The Merry Widow." We went from state to state, town to town. I was reading "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" and went by the very spots I was reading about. That was an experience.
So, on with my new "Heart."
Happy reading, writing and revising from
