Plans

 

Republic of China (1912–1949) / Xu Beihong/ Hawk

In case that you haven’t noticed by now, when I put a “purty pitchtur” up at the top of the post on this blog, I am not writing anything related to my story, but instead I am making some lame-ass excuse about not posting actual content.  This post continues that tradition.

I think that I have shaken off the block that has been plaguing me for the last month or two.  Not certain yet, but it appears that way.  I am going over chapter 33 now and trying to proofread my stuff for putting up next week.  

I am thinking about sticking with a once a week schedule.  But there will be some shifting of days as I try to better pace my writing habits here and over at the “degringolade” blog.  What I am considering is to write a longer piece once a week on Mondays at the “D” blog and post a chapter once a week on Friday here.  

I think that I burned out a little there at first when I started writing.  I still have the storyline in mind and I am trying to finish up chapter 42 now, but that is where tying things together and advancing the story starts getting a little harder if I want things to tie together and to make sense.

I’m still thinking about starting to post this up on Substack in order to try and scrape together some nickels.  But this idea is fading a little bit as I discover more and more about the act of publication, which appears to be painfully close to the experience of being a whore.  Whew.  What a mess this kind of thing becomes when one starts thinking about it in terms of $$.

Then planned schedule (revision 0) for this week is:

Monday: Post to Degringolade

Tuesday-Wednesday:  Work on chapter 42 and try to complete.

Thursday:  Proof and prep chapter 33 for publication

Friday:  Publish chapter 33

Saturday:  Write Degringolade post for next week.

Sunday:  Drink beer and watch football
