I'm really going to have to name this at some point. I spent lunch today figuring out what the fourth sibling's particular talent is, and how he's going to be crucial to the plot later on. (I knew I needed him, but had no idea how or why.) Wrote half a page or so, plus … [Read more...] about New Novel, Day 4
Writing
New novel
I've been adding to the new novel, but it's all handwritten and I don't know what the word count is yet. Maybe I'll get around to typing it up this weekend. Wrote a couple of pages Monday night (new novel day 2) and one page yesterday (day 3), which I felt was pretty darn good … [Read more...] about New novel
No more NaNo
I got stuck at 3K for my NaNo novel. But after an entire weekend of being a bum, last night I came up with a totally new idea – new world, new characters, radically different style for me – and I'm loving it. I cranked out six pages of notes and snippets without … [Read more...] about No more NaNo
Only 49,200 to go
Hmm. Yesterday's total was actually a little over a hundred, now that I've typed it up. Along with today's work, I have exactly 800. Yay, only 49,200 to go! … [Read more...] about Only 49,200 to go
Woman faces death to own Tori Amos CD, film at 10
Maybe it's the fact that we have sunshine for the first time in about two weeks. I dunno, but people are stooopid today. I nearly got hit by about five careening cars in parking lots during lunch, and as I tried to leave Jack in the Box a car full of hyper teenage males decided … [Read more...] about Woman faces death to own Tori Amos CD, film at 10
Fanfic?!
Things have been slow. Last Thursday I wrote 10 pages – fanfic, of all things. I haven't written junk like that since I was a freshman in high school. Argh. But the scene played itself out in my head during lunch, and I tweaked it and made the smallest of reminder notes … [Read more...] about Fanfic?!
Inspiration, while you watch
I was sitting here about to post, and I just had the most brilliant idea. Back in a few. … [Read more...] about Inspiration, while you watch
People need context
700-ish words on Sunday and 500 words last night – a minor breakthrough, I think, and not just because it's the first thing I've written in a while, but because it provided a key bit of worldbuilding. I owe both tidbits to the Liaden Universe books, which I devoured last … [Read more...] about People need context
No desk, no files, no writing
Still no writing, but this time it's because I've moved. My writing files are in at least four different boxes, to say nothing of my research and reference books. Oh, and I have no desk. Despite all the chaos, I've been mulling over things regarding that novelette I took to VP. … [Read more...] about No desk, no files, no writing
No writing here, move along
Not much writing to speak of – a few notes on the mainstream novel, thoughts of reworking my VP novelette. I'm far too easily distracted. If I don't post writing progress tonight, someone slap me! … [Read more...] about No writing here, move along
