half way home

so I reached the 7000 word mark for my project during the week. There are several sections that need a serious reworking, but I am feeling better about where it is at than what I was this time last week (which can only be a good thing).
So, halfway there, only another 8000 or so words to go.

It has gone on the back-burner for the next 5 days as my old testament presentation and essay are due next week.

Nothing much else to report, deadlines are pretty much all consuming at this time!

hope, joy and contentment

I am writing the 3rd chapter of my project at the moment. It is on contentment and eschatology.
It is taking shape quite nicely and I hope to write several thousand words tonight (maybe doubtful seeing as I only got 3 hours sleep last night, but I say aim high).
My first chapter is almost finalised, while the second chapter is what I call a dismal attempt at writing (anyone out there interested in Stoic philosophy and want to proof it for me?), but hopefully this chapter will cheer me up a little, after all, this is where I get to talk about Jesus!

writer's block

the words
where are they?
deadlines loom
each day closer
straws of inspiration
grasped at the door
books piled high
notes out the window
float down the street
the cry for help
a librarian answers
is more books the answer?

Project: 3258/15000

just cracked the half way mark on words.....
i don't think i've ever cut one this close to the deadline before.
let's hope i can get another 1000 words out in the next 2 hours

1050/2000

a moment from holidays on the central coast earlier this year - I'm hoping it will give me the inspiration to keep going and think of the rest that will come on completion (if only for a day or so)

the gate is open

and the ball has rolled out.

I finally have an approach for the essay. Some words have been written.
(it would have been really helpful to have had a set question rather than the vague 'write a book review which isn't a book review, but a paper on methodology')

Flow on words, flow on. I know you are trapped in my brain somewhere. Maybe some more coffee will help release them!

sunset from my apartment.....


one of my fav things is to sit on the balcony drinking pots of green tea at sunset

slight problem

I've only written on 1 of the 5 verses and my word count is already half used up......
