Keep Calm and Talk Writing

[lizvogel]

So, Michigan is under stay-home orders as of today, essential services excepted -- pretty much what we were supposed to be doing anyway. Housemate is already working from home because of the broken leg; my freelance work is from-home anyway, and the Day Job is considered essential, so no real change here. Except that coordinating a trip to the grocery store is even more of a hassle than it is under normal conditions, as I try to guess when the panic-buyers will be at low ebb but there'll still be something on the shelves.

In the meantime, who wants to talk writing? I'm declaring this an open post for any writing-related subject that's on your mind. Comment with your questions, insights, or muddled writerly musings, and let's get some discussion going.

You're alive?

Tried to call you a couple of times recently. I must be getting the exact wrong time.

Gary
And just started writing something.

Hi, yeah, got your message, I'm just terrible at calling people back.

Yep, still alive. Not real much changed here, tbh.

So, whatcha writing?

Short story - easily convertible to a script. Problem is turning something into a mini-micro budget piece, with very few actors, or easily replaceable actors (when their 'on time' is three hours late). It involves weird creatures and swords in a modern context.

Apart from that, doing some costuming, actually doing some intermediate level tailoring. About to drill and cut some wood for dusak wasters.

I'm always in favor of weird creatures and swords. :-)

That's one thing to be said for writing prose fiction; the only person you have to get organized is you. Of course, the downside is that... yeah.

I want some of this extra time everybody's talking about! My big ambition today is to get the dishes done. :-(
