What with one thing and another

[rolanni]

I have passed my six month probation. Go me. I also had a very pleasant chat with the woman who hired me, and though the purpose of the whole ritual remains a little vague, it was certainly not time wasted.

Those who listen to podcasts may wish to visit Forgotten Classics, where Julie Davis does a lovely job with such material as Topper, The Black Moth, Life Among the Savages -- and Scout's Progress.

For those who peruse this journal for information on projects-in-progress, a question. What would you like to see/read about such projects? Does a naked status bar satisfy you, or do you long for something else? Go ahead, tell me your wildest fantasies. I don't promise to adopt any particular format, but I'm curious -- and who knows what might happen?

I like your "other information" as well, not just the writing parts.

I like information about the writing strategy. For instance, how accurate is your target figure of 100kwords likely to be (how flexible is the figure)? Do you write the first draft straight through and then go back to revise it, or are you revising as you go along? I know you mentioned post-it notes, are they generated as you write or read through stuff you've already written, or only during revision? Do you keep a parallel journal of spin-off ideas as you write (ideas for backstory, character development, etc.)?

And do you find yourself dreaming parts of the story? I frequently find bits of what I've been reading recently in my dreams, I would imagine the same sort of thing could happen when writing.
