I’m very happy and excited to be writing Arlyn’s story. After I finished writing my blog a few nights ago when I mentioned that I was at a hard spot, I started considering the world and the characters. The world at this time is one without magic. There’s a secret organization struggling to survive. Mysteries … Continue reading Trust in action
I feel like I’m at a strange point in Arlyn‘s story. I’m just beyond that one-third point and I’m trying write through it. I feel like I’m missing something. I want something awesome, something to add an additional level to the story where readers who has gone through the Sacred Knight series will just be … Continue reading When a story can go any direction
I’m up to chapter 12 for Arlyn’s story. I feel myself slowing down a bit, but I know I’m hitting the one-third portion of the novel. It’s said that this is a point when many writers start to feel pressure on the story. Since I’m trying to pay attention to the stages of writing a … Continue reading One-third of the way
My son and his girlfriend invited me to go watch an anime movie with them. We went out to dinner before and then I’ve cream afterwards. It was a good evening. I realized why I do have a hard time watching this particular anime show though. It’s because the main character whines and cries and … Continue reading Movie
I finished recording Help Wanted, Call Loki this evening, and in the time that it took me to narrate those last three chapters, it snowed about two inches. It certainly shocked Merlin and myself when I took him outside. It's been snowing all evening now, but I hadn't looked out to see how much has … Continue reading In the booth and out
I started off so well this morning with Arlyn's story. In about an hour and a half, I wrote over 1,200 words. Then I crashed. I should have quit then, let the cats' sleep energy take me over, but I kept trying to write. In the next three hours, I wrote about 500 words. Okay, … Continue reading A day of writing and reading
I am just speeding along with Arlyn's story. It is going utterly fantastic right now. Of course, I am in the first third of the story and still working on the setup. I'm trying to ignore the critical voice telling me that I'll slow down once I start to worry about where the story is … Continue reading Special scenes
I got far enough into Arlyn's story today that I had to make a hard decision. I had three choices about how this would go. I knew it would be one character, or another, or neither. So which is it? Well, I won't say here so that there aren't spoilers. But I will say that … Continue reading The creative voice strikes again
I’m finding myself getting in a rush to finish my drummer book. It’s hard, but I’m trying to pull the reins slowly. I know that I really need to practice endings. Well, that’s actually what I’ve been practicing on in several stories, but this one I’m trying to practice appropriate length of endings. I always … Continue reading Not so fast
I finished watching Castle today. For a series that I so enjoyed, I am highly disappointed by the ending. Yes, I realized it was probably cancelled suddenly. I haven’t researched it to know; not sure I really care to know either. Still, bad. That just tops off a moody day for me. I really don’t … Continue reading In practice
