Inspiration in the shower, again

July 16, 2002 Stephanie Leary

Wrote 760 words in a mad dash after my shower last night. I've just finished typing them up and I realized that one of the scenes isn't really a scene at all, just a quick outline. I'll try to write it properly later this week. I finished Buffy. Yay! … [Read more...] about Inspiration in the shower, again

Plot and motivation brought to you by Mutant Enemy

July 10, 2002 Stephanie Leary

No writing to speak of this week. I've been watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer obssessively, and it's sparked plot ideas for the gaping black hole of plotlessness that used to the second half of the book. I have plot now. I also have motivations for several supporting characters, … [Read more...] about Plot and motivation brought to you by Mutant Enemy

Goal reached

June 27, 2002 Stephanie Leary

183 words at work this morning. (Bad me!) That puts me over 1500 for the week (so far) which is a Goodness because I'm starting the Breakout Novel course over at Forward Motion tonight, and I have to work on an author website, and I'm going to be very busy for the rest of the … [Read more...] about Goal reached

Weeknight record

June 24, 2002 Stephanie Leary

… and I seem to be tapped out. I had hoped to reach 1500 tonight, since that was my goal for the entire week in my writing group, but 1408 is a very respectable total for a weeknight. (Hell, I can't remember the last time I accomplished that much on a weekend.) … [Read more...] about Weeknight record
