How Disciplined?
Posted in activities, writing on 04/14/2009 07:37 pm by Nadiah AlwiRemember my post on self-discipline? There, I wrote that I wished to be a disciplined writer.
Now, it’s time for me to make a short-term review. Weekly Review.
On the first days, I didn’t write that much. But, since last Saturday or Sunday, I’ve been writing a lot. And, I like that.
Currently, I’m working on two scripts, non-fiction and fiction.
The non-fiction is tempting yet not simple. Not only because it’s my first long non-fiction project, but it’s also on somebody else’s life. I just have to do it right.
The fiction is wonderful. I love it. Yet, I had to make decisions on how the characters should deal with their goals and problems. And, I have to say that it’s not easy. I hate making decisions!
However, both went quite ok. I have written about 50% of each, non-fiction and fiction. My goal, by the end of the month both will be completed. And, I can do the editing on the first week of May.
I can’t say that I’m disciplined enough but it’s a lot better than before.
Most important, I love doing both. A little discipline will make the process perfect.
I don’t know about the result, whether the readers would love them or not, but at least, I ‘m doing my very best!
Currently, I work at home. I run an online book store, do some digital PR consultancy, write a novel and a non-fiction book. I need more than 24 hours a day, for sure. Thankfully, I enjoy them all.
I love rich conversation. When I was at campus, my friends and I used to chit chat about sooo many things. I also often discuss stuff with my husband and other friends now.
