Well, I haven't done any writing since early, early Tuesday morning of last week. That's mostly because Nancy made me realize that I need to think alot harder before starting a story, which is what I've been doing since then. Unfortunately, this is not something that Clarion is well suited for. So right now I'm in Van Hoosen trying to pin myself down to a story idea. I have an outline for one, but I'm getting less and less excited by it each time I look at it (I have around 600 words in the first scene written at this point). The problem is, I can't really see what makes that story compelling anymore. Anyway, I'm not leaving this place until I get myself really started.
Clarion Day…not sure
