Writing
Good Day, Bad Day
Wednesday, November 7th, 2007Today was a little rough because my sleep disturbed by a couple nightmares and I also started feeling somewhat sick at work this afternoon. Still, I’ve managed to hit the 19,000-word mark the first draft of my Nano romance manuscript. I also managed to get out for a couple ten-minute walk breaks during […]
Twice in One Day
Tuesday, November 6th, 2007Yes, I’m procrastinating again instead of working on Nanowrimo project, but I’ll get back to that in just a few minutes. I just had to write a quick post to say that I managed a ten-minute walk break today, another 5.13 miles on the recumbent bike at the gym this evening (that’s two days straight […]
A Quick Update
Tuesday, November 6th, 2007This morning, I passed the 12,000 word mark for Nanowrimo. The writing is going fairly well and we aren’t even a week into the month yet. This is probably the most work I’ve done early in the month than ever before and I really think the preparatory outline and research have helped a lot. A […]
Write Now
Saturday, November 3rd, 2007November has arrived and the majority of the members of our household are participating in that annual madness known as Nanowrimo (National Novel Writing Month). For those of you who aren’t familiar with this event, people who enjoy writing sit down and attempt to create a 50,000-word (or more) manuscript over the course of […]
The Good and The Bad
Thursday, June 28th, 2007The good news of the day is that a short story called Something Wrong, written by my youngest daughter, is about to be published in an anthology called “The Blackest Death, Volume III.” This is one I haven’t read since she knows what type of things I can handle and I hear it’s a little […]
Official Winner!
Sunday, June 24th, 2007After uploading my script to the Script Frenzy site, I can now claim official winner status:
20,591
If you haven’t tried something like this, you really should. Writing 20,000 (or 50,000 for Nanowrimo) words in the course of a month can be a real kick. Just don’t expect to have a life.
See you in November […]
Mixed Emotions
Saturday, June 23rd, 2007While playing around online last night I found that Google Books has scanned about half my novel, Noble Savage, into their book search function. At first I was a little miffed, but then I realized that they may have done me a favor. If anyone should happen upon my book and start reading, […]
Done?
Saturday, June 9th, 2007After having spent another long afternoon in front of the computer, I’ve passed the 20,000-word mark on my script…but I’m still not done with the story. Plus, we’re so early in the Script Frenzy that they haven’t yet uploaded the word count verification tool so I can’t be an “official” winner until that happens.
Still, I’ve […]
News Break
Friday, June 8th, 2007After writing non-stop for several hours, I’ve reached 12,060 words on my script. I’m over half way now!
Last Day
Friday, June 8th, 2007Today is the official “last day” off of my week. While I still have the weekend before going back to my day job, I do have a meeting of the non-profit board on which I sit on Sunday, and I should probably get some household chores caught up in the next day or so. […]
