Writing.

[foxmonkey]

Working on Still Life, because it's the ... yikes. I was about to tell a lie. It's one ot *two* still unfinished series I've got hanging out there, languishing. I've wanted to finish it up before the end of the year, so I pulled out the remaining three segments to have a look.

Jeebus, each of the three have four-five incarnations. I have the original, then a copy I put on my laptop and later transfered back to disk, a copy that was on my harddrive, and another copy I worked on - very briefly - while visiting my Dad a while back. To make the project even more fun, all of them vary in places. Whee!

I've merged all the different parts for two of the remaining sections. The third will be a bit more work because, while I know where it's going and how it will end, the middle is sagging a bit. Hmmm.

Question: Does anyone out there have a writing journal? If so, has it been useful? What kinds of things do you use it for? If it's online, are select friends invited in for comments and stuff, or is it strictly private?

Learn me!

I recently started a writing journal, mainly to keep track of the (several) WIPs I have. it's useful to see them all in one place, along with other snippets I think of, pieces of dialogue etc. at the moment, it's private (I only have my jchalo journal friended so I can view it while I'm logged into this account), but as time goes by, I may open to up to my betas.

I also have a filter on my main journal, in which I post fic-in-progress to a handful of friends, in order to get some input on scenes I'm unsure of. it's useful to have it all 'centralised' in one place.
