When words won’t come out, put words in

Lazy day today! The weekend was productive on many fronts, today was hecka busy… so my brain is simply requiring low grade tasks. Wrote some 45 words and did a bunch of solid concepting, but other than that my head’s outta gas. Been here before, one always comes out. Time […]

Roundup!

Sunday is here! Round up of weekly activities, including coming under the gun for some wordcount goals. Last blog I said I needed about six hours to get all the things done. I was out of bed by 1030am and underway before twelve. It’s 2pm now and maybe half the […]

Concepting isn’t a word but I’ll use it anyway

Wrote words! And did a quick crit. Let’s see: 1,750 or across 1.5 scenes! More than I thought I did. What else, what else? Oh yes, spent some time concepting a totally new piece. I was supposed to be editing CHILDSEEKER according to my personal tasking, but my mind wasn’t […]

Brain be sleepy

Mentally and physically fatigued, it’s been a draining week! In a good way, minus the lack of writing progress. I did write something like 170 words and figured out something that had been eluding me in Scrivener’s compiling tool. Might try to sneak a critique in before bed because that’s […]

Favours

Didn’t write today and missed the gym. Uh oh! What’s the excuse? Well, a friend really wanted me to participate in a biweekly board games night (that I’ve attended many a time, with regulairty). I love it, but I was ready to sacrifice it for a productive evening. The rubber […]

Butt In Office

Every now and then, you gotta pull a long day at work! Today started at around 9am and ended at midnight. We’ve a lot of work to do to help get a struggling product back into shape (or die trying), so priorities must shift. This is an interesting note around […]

Butt In Chair

About 900 new words today. Half finished one scene, wrote half another… and I’m fairly sure most of the latest one will be cut! Oh well! The decision now is: leave it and get it later? Or kill it now? Hard to say. I spent a bunch of time revisiting […]

Trades

Traded the gym for some crit work today. Got home around 6ish, and was either going to hit up Goodlife or keeping writing, depending on where my momentum was come 8ish. I dug into a crit and bashed out 2,500 words for it (67% of its length or so, I […]

Housekeeping

No writing today! There was an important send-off for a close friend that had the day’s priority. Before heading to that I did so some operational housekeeping: reviewing the week’s fitness and spending goals, made a few forum posts and got a blog post up. Non zero day. The coming […]

Covering bases

Spent the previous evening a bit buzzed, so was traipsing around online communities instead of writing. Part of my monthly goal system involves making sure I’m staying active in certain, relevant places. Although I did sneak back to Newgrrounds and have a peek there (I was a very active forum […]
