I do the majority of my writing these days on the weekend, in Borders, where the wi-fi is fast (although I really don’t need wi-fi) and the coffee is terrible, because no one drinks coffee here, so it’s all brewed in the morning.

It’s weird to live in a city where no one drinks coffee. It’s also weird to write on my tiny computer with my outlines strewn around me, rather than on a bigger computer with my outlines taped to the wall.

I hate being an outline writer. Maybe that’s why short fiction has been so fun and distracting lately.

The best thing about writing on the weekend and not every day is I write for a long time without (much) distraction because I build up lots of story over the course of the week. I even jot details down sometimes on slips of paper that I eventually lose.  It’s like I’m filling up a bucket with word water over the week and then I spill it all out on weekends onto my computer in a non-conductive way.

It makes me feel productive, even though if I could manage to write in short bursts over the course of the week, I would probably get the same amount done.

Anyway. That’s all.  Time to write.

I made this website! No I didn’t. That’s a lie. Max Elman made this website.

I have no idea what I’m going to do with this blog. I will probably waste a lot of time updating it instead of doing whatever I want to be doing or should be doing, so that’s good news if you like to read blogs that are only wastes of time. Like this one.

But! If anything is happening to me as far as writing or editing or life is concerned, it will probably appear in here first, or at least second, because Twitter will probably know first, because that’s the easiest to update.

So follow me on twitter too. Do it all! Read everything I write! Ever!

You don’t have to, actually. Don’t unless you want to.
