I wrote about 2,090 words today. Possibly more later if there’s time and inspiration between now and going out. Most of the year’s major reflections are in this post: 2017 in review, so: see you on the the other side!

With an action sequence plotted out in nice, poignant bullet points, adding the meat to the bones is quite the fun task. So much so that I was able to ease into about 1,440 words with little stoppage, finding the “old” character voices quickly; slotting back into the story was […]

Yeah! For the first time in what seems like an age, I added some story bits to Hunting Midnight. I am just about to the turn the corner on the climax of episode three, and had to smooth a few things out in order to set it up. It amounted […]

Today’s productive energy was spent on building a spreadsheet for 2018. I’ve used various sheets to track writing, gym logs, and budgets… but always separately and never across the course of a year.

It’s late on Boxing Day (technically: early… as “today” was Christmas), and I passed out after dinner then woke up and painstakingly transferred the Wix blog content into the new environment… save the one (and only) monthly roundup […]

Sooo, about that daily blog… Right around November 1, there was a shift in life energy. More demands from work, combined with some downtime sickness shifted momentum away from writing (and exercise and eating halfway decent). It’s not a bad thing, but a thing to be noted. The momentum started […]

Yup! CHILDSEEKER part 1 is now past wordsmithing and into the paperback-making process. With a business trip looming and many tiny things still left to coordinate, I figure I’ll dig into the paperbacking mid next week, which should give enough time to make the end of month goal. NaNoWriMo didn’t […]

I don’t think I worked on edits today, because there was a ton of day-job work to be done and then a co-worker’s mini bachelor party at Toronto’s newest, craziest arcade venue: The Rec Room. I thought it was a pub of sorts and was totally overwhelmed with the casino […]
