Alright- seems that I'm sticking with Sunday now; that's finally fallen into a routine now, I think.
Now, as for work- yes, nothing posted on here. I've been working on the Autumn Ghost Story, but mainly thinking rather than writing, which isn't very good. I have no excuses.
Nether-the-less, I have developed an idea! I'm thinking that the story will be about a teenage school person who is paranoid and can be superstitious and, as he walks through a forest to go home from in the dark Autumn Season, things start to haunt him. It will mainly hinge on the question of what truly is haunting him- 'a ghost, or his mind?' kind of idea. It'll have to be a ghost I think, but the character won't be sure of that- his mind may be able to play a part as well anyway. He never has the courage to look for the ghost, or tell anyone he knows- he'll believe that people will just dismiss him and laugh and such- if you are already superstitious, you are less likely to be believed, so maybe he'll have a past relating to this.
This may be just a cluster of thoughts when written out like this, but I think I can write it well. So, I'll get to typing.

Writing Journal- 01/12/13
Oh dear, I appear to have missed an entry or two. I think I'm sticking with writing these on Sunday now though- I don't think that I have to do them on Fridays.
Okay- firstly, cover last week. It seems that I forgot to say something in the week before last week. That was how I have to do a short story based around the picture- 'The Awakening Conscience'. That's been baffling me- I need to give it more thought. All I really know is that the way that I'm doing it is a 'Story of Seduction from of Seven Articles of Clothing'. I am struggling- but, to be fair, I haven't given it too much attention; less than I should have.
Now, things that I'm doing now. Still many, many things to catch up on. But new ones to do are tweaking my short story- better verbs and conveying the clever story better I think. Also, the newest one is an Autumn ghost story assignment. What I've got for that right now is that I want a forest setting- the way that the trees and the leaves and such can obscure things so well- that could lead somewhere. The ghost may have been a child who died from tree-climbing, but I may need to develop that a lot- it seems a tad weak alone to me. Night time is also good. And mist perhaps. And many, many trees, the type to get lost in. Hmm, it strikes me that this is getting a tad cliche, but I think this will work. I need to explore some forests really to get the gist- I've been advised.
