Lunch writing, check

February 17, 2003 Stephanie Leary

In my writing group on Saturday I decided that my goal for this week would be to write at lunch at least three days. Day one, done! Unless I get a better idea, this will be the opening scene. It involves baking cupcakes (my favorite kind when I was little) and it actually manages … [Read more...] about Lunch writing, check

Lunch writing

January 8, 2003 Stephanie Leary

Lunch writing: 2/3 of a page on Friday, 2 pages on Monday, none yesterday, and a page and a half today. Whee. … [Read more...] about Lunch writing

Afternoon catchup

December 16, 2002 Stephanie Leary

No lunch writing today; went out with friends instead. Getting twitchy… must write soon. More on Building Accessible Websites: finally finished chapter 6. Bleh. Chapter 7 was OK but its subject (Text and Links) is pretty hard to screw up. Chapter 8, Navigation, is a gold … [Read more...] about Afternoon catchup

Weekend writing

December 16, 2002 Stephanie Leary

More writing not yet typed: Friday lunch (1 page?), Saturday on the side of the road on the way to San Antonio (1 page), Sunday on my Visor during Christmas carols at church (roughly half a page). Technically that last snippet is typed, but not in a format I can count words … [Read more...] about Weekend writing

Technological amnesia

December 12, 2002 Stephanie Leary

Words I don't use often enough: carom. No writing since my last post. (Damn the holidays.) At least lunch writing is a possibility today. Today, we have had power but no network. Today I have felt like I imagine amnesia victims must feel, at least after the initial shock has … [Read more...] about Technological amnesia

Lunch writer

December 9, 2002 Stephanie Leary

More lunch writing today… about a page and a half (400-600 words?) which I will type up later. … [Read more...] about Lunch writer

Inspiration lives in the shower

December 8, 2002 Stephanie Leary

Chalk up a few more points for shower-induced inspiration. I came home from my yoga class with every intention of working on the server and hanging the curtains in the living room, but a complex set of scenes ambushed me in the shower. Two thousand and sixteen words later, I feel … [Read more...] about Inspiration lives in the shower

My alchemist

November 25, 2002 Stephanie Leary

I have a couple more pages to type later. Writing at lunch is going much better than usual on the new project. It helps that I really like all my characters, and they're much more distinct than the ones from some of my other projects. I'm having a lot of fun writing the youngest … [Read more...] about My alchemist

NaNo progress

November 20, 2002 Stephanie Leary

Typed up all the stuff, finally. The grand total is 2100 words (so far), but 600 of that is in the notes. Not a great total by NaNo standards, but just right for my usual goal of 500 words a day. … [Read more...] about NaNo progress
