Writing.......

So tonight I finished another book. My second in nine days. The books were 'Theodore Boone' by John Grisham and 'Hard Time' by Shaun Attwood. It has given me my writing bug back again so tonight I worked on one of my projects. I've really been thinking about writing alot recently and I have a few story ideas. I'm working on three at the moment and maybe that's why I'm making so little progress. I also have another story idea which I keep thinking I'm going to have to write it down otherwise I'll forget it. Another idea came into my head today for another story - I'm not sure I'll do it though.
I started writing poetry again. I found two poems that I wrote when I was younger. One of them was published in the Warrington guardian years ago and I cut it out and kept it. I've retyped it up so that it is with the other four I have. I think doing Literary Translation has really boosted my interest in writing again and it is slow progress. Not because of lack of ideas (I'm not saying good ideas, just ideas) but because of time. I seem to spend so much time sitting in front of a computer screen (especially as I do it for 4 hours everyday for work) doing essays or researching things or just wasting time that it is making my eyes tired which is why I haven't written anything. I started writing on paper to give my eyes a rest from the screen glare.
I actually really want to finish a story but I don't want to rush. My aim is going to be to finish something by the end of 2011. An early New Year's resolution.
