Thanks guys! And guess what!
I wrote 1300 words on Monday! (I had the day off and sat there and just wrote for about an hour and a half). It was great!

Re: I Wrote Today!
I wrote another chapter on my online grammar review. I haven't done that in about 2 years, from the date on the last one. I started writing the thing because I was reading a lot on Fictionpress and some of the writers there were just so BAD at grammar that I couldn't take it. (Oddly enough, it's been my most-read "story" ever since.) This year's chapter: the homophones lose/loose, effect/affect, and.... one other that I can't come up with right now.
I'm not thrilled with it yet, though the basis is fine. It's just that I usually try to make the chapters light-hearted and vaguely amusing. I mean, who's going to want to read a "story" about grammar if it's too serious?! Talk about boring! But I had a lot of trouble working the humor into this chapter, so I'll have to go back and fix that on the edit, I think. Still, it was nice to add more to that piece. I was just in the mood, I guess.

Re: I Wrote Today!
I reordered my dissertation (AGAIN) and fixed the intro section yesterday. That really needed to get done, since it was sort of a mess of disconnected pieces rather than a coherent whole.
It's strange. I can write fiction, poetry, or essay-like prose very quickly. But when forced to write technical papers, I have a lot of trouble. I think it's because the expected style forces me to write in ways I don't like -- a lot of passive voice, limited (non-technical) vocabulary, dense sentence structure, etc. I'd really like to get away from this style, to write in my OWN voice, but it's not considered acceptable (ie: my prof would just tell me to rewrite it all). I find this highly unfortunate!

Re: I Wrote Today!
Lately I've been hopping between projects like some kind of crazed rabbit and getting next to nothing done, but today I wrote on The Tribe and it went good. I think it's finally heading where I want it to again. Sigh. Don't you hate it when a story comes unraveled right in the middle of writing it?

That is very annoying, but luckily for you, yours seems to be getting back on track.

Re: I Wrote Today!
I wrote today. And planned yesterday.
I don't know how much I wrote today because I wrote it in pen, but I wrote it. It's a scene for a story I'm planning right now. I wrote the scene because I plan best when I'm writing. Things just pop out.
I suppose I should do a snowflake or something like that, but I'm feeling like writing, so I'll do that until I either write myself into a box or need a bigger picture.
I'll post what I've got in the appropriate section where you all can take it apart, if that moves you.
