Writing (day X)

I've sort of lost track of how many days I've gone. And I haven't written a whole lot during the past week. I've been busy with other things, and I've caught a rather horrible cold so I'm unable to concentrate over longer periods of time.

But I have gotten into a side-project. It'll be more suitable for children than the main project. So if I can find my writing skills during this time of illness and terribly stressful other things to do (I do like winning elections, so I've got to do some of work there, see), I'll probably continue that one mainly. At least until my cold goes away and the election-stuff calms down a bit. The first part is always the worst. Then we hit our stride, and it's a piece of cake (I want cake now. Give me cake).

The thing I like about the children's project is that it's much easier to write, and edit, and I've got freer reigns. I can do whatever I like. And I've written a not very good fairytale for it, amongst other things. The not very good fairytale is on purpose, as the main guy isn't a very good writer. It's a lot of fun, and I've planned it more or less out, at least the general parts. I have written the ending, but that'll change. A lot. Not at all happy with it. The main aim is for children to read it, ask their parents "Who's this person?" and they'll learn about "this person" together.

At least my intentions are good. And I'm about 1300 words into it, so a total combined word count would be about 3000. Which is mostly from when I started keeping tabs on myself, and to my last blogpost. That's not bad, I think.

I reckon it's time for a cup of tea with honey.
