As I’ve said elsewhere, the Time Crunch has prevented me from working on my different writing projects. Alas, that’s how life is sometimes. That’s how it is now, and for the foreseeable future. I have no expectations of doing much writing for the rest of 2014.
But, yesterday, during my noon hour, I had a few moments to think about things, and decided to see exactly what I had written this month. Pulling things together, checking a few websites, I came up with a long list. It is summarized as follows.
- 6 posts at this blog
- 5 posts at my other blog
- My first devotional, turned in on the 20th
- 3 comments at the Books & Such blog
- 2 brief comments at the Passive Voice blog
- 1 comment at the Absolute Write forums
- 17 personal e-mails, some of them one-liners
- 39 work e-mails, some of them one-liners
All of these aren’t publishable writing pieces, but they are writing. It doesn’t include many posts on Facebook, both writing related and personal. Nor does it include a couple of things at work that are started only in outline form. These are “curriculum” type items, cobbling together various classes I’ve taught over the last eight years into eight to ten class courses. So far I haven’t done any original writing on them, but most likely will before the end of the month.
That also doesn’t include three new classes that I’m preparing to teach: one in November, one in December, and one probably next March. Each of these will require quite a bit of prep for a one hour class. At least one of them (the one in March) will have a significant essay as part of it.
So, I have been writing this month; just not publishable things, with one exception. I guess I need to take what writing I can find time to do.
