I'm back

In general: I'm back from Dresden, where the national meeting of the members of the Community of the Cross of Nails took place. (i went there for the first time)
We of course came from all over Germany and our speaial guest where from Cincinatti, USA (Jim Diamont) and Coventry,GB (Simon Monaghan).
I had a wonderful (if sometimes wearisome) three days. The city is beautiful, and I will definitively go back some time to see more. The people I met have been lovely and it's nice to make new connections all over the country.

On Friday we had to deal with all the administrative stuff. The secretary - that I've known for 5 years now - asked me to run for one of the 12 positions in the - what we call - "Leitungskreis" (people that decide substitiutionally for the whole national community). She wanted to have younger people in it, so I said yes. And was elected. Yai! :)
But then, the "Leitungskreis" had to decide on three of them that would make the Board, and after 5 minutes or so I was suddenly in it. So I'm now a member of the Board of the German CCN.

And on writing: Not much got done, but I will sit down today and on Wednesday to achieve my October goal.

Progress

Look at the Word Meter.

Makes me want to cry...

(About Half Month) Progress

This month has been real slow.

I'm 1400 words behind. I write a bit more than my planned words every day, but that's not enough.

To make matters worse, I'm up to my nose in work (I know why that is and why I cannot do anything against it at the moment; but I won't mention it, as you never know who reads this)

Last weekend of October I'm in Dresden, so no work will be done then, but the week after that I'm off work, and hopefully, hopefully, I will be able to make up my deficit.

What Kind of Writer Should I Be

You Should Be a Film Writer

You don't just create compelling stories, you see them as clearly as a movie in your mind. You have a knack for details and dialogue. You can really make a character come to life. Chances are, you enjoy creating all types of stories. The joy is in the storytelling. And nothing would please you more than millions of people seeing your story on the big screen!

What Type of Writer Should You Be?

Well, I instinctively knew this all the time. But here also lies the problem. At times my writing resembles a script more than a novel. Things definitely need to be fleshed out in revisions...

Haiku

I amused myself again:

just another rant
reading yes i do not want
to sit down and write

and

put ella on hold
for november because i
cannot imagine (hm, this might be a good suggestion)


I'm feeling better now though I still haven't written anything. I think I'll let it be for today.

Progress

Sheesh, it's already 20:43 (oh, sorry, 8:43 pm) and I haven't written anything today.

I usually plan to write between 7 and 8, that's the best time for me. Now I'm just plain tired...

And my word meter is not completely accurate, as my October plan has not the same word amount for every day, so I'm really 700 words behind. *sigh*

So, no real news on the progress just (another) rant.
