This morning, after having an enlightening moment, I realized I really needed to make notes on where I stopped last night. Otherwise, I was going to have to figure out my place all over again when I started. Which was going to be particularly difficult because I'd already gotten myself confused with another project. One … Continue reading Project notepad and more
I’m down to the final leg of Arlyn’s story. Less than 10,000 words to go from my length estimate. I’m realizing my estimate might be a couple thousand off or so, meaning I think I’ll need extra words to finish the story. Still, that’s not a bad amount to be off by with an estimate. … Continue reading Almost done, I think
I took a look today at how far behind I have gotten with my publishing. I have several short stories out that are only in electronic (and some in audio too) form. I also have a whole bunch that need to either be out "in the mail" submitting for magazines or published. That doesn't even … Continue reading Awareness
Dean Wesley Smith often repeats Mike Resnick’s saying. “If you aren’t earning $500 per day, you are not having a good day.” For the last month, I have really taken this advice to heart. I admit that I’ve modified it compared to the way he’s using it. I’ve been using it as a gauge for … Continue reading Values or just fake numbers
For those of you wondering, I did stay up on Sunday night to get all my words in. So, the weekly goal streak is at 4. I had just been so close when I finished the blog on Sunday that I just couldn’t resist. I was also so glad yesterday to get the Patreon posts … Continue reading Big update
I was so close to hitting my weekly goal last night when I finished up that I pushed myself that little extra bit. It was probably a silly thing to do, but it did mean that I’m now at a 3 week streak. It’s been a long time since I had a streak going for … Continue reading Circumstances
Today has been strange and it’s thrown off my groove. Because of that, I thought I’d start off with my blog and prime the pump, so to speak. Is it working? So far, no (grin). I made the mistake of turning on the tv for noise while I write, but I’m being distracted and watching … Continue reading Almost writing
I’ve just spent two hours in a writing blaze. I do have over 2,000 words to show for it through. Wow. I was doing very well until I had to stop and look something up in Sword and Shield (book 6). I love the Seneca quotes. I really do think that I studies with Seneca … Continue reading Pulled in and falling
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
So, last night I fully intended to wake early, get my 1,000 words in, then spend the rest of the day painting. I fully thought I’d be start painting about 11:00 this morning. Yeah. Here’s what really happened. I had a hard time waking up and didn’t manage to stay awake until 9 this morning. … Continue reading All good things in time
