Glimmers

No words today either, spent the bulk of my writing time on examining the glimmer of another project, one that has some long odds but a decent payoff. It’s sill in its infancy and could shatter if I give it too much real world recognition, so I’ll continue to be […]

Battle of the blurbs

No new words today, but that’s fine because I did a bunch of shipment related stuff and set the stage for the next installment in HUNTING MIDNIGHT. I’ve realized that I need a lot more character development for the coming pieces, so that’ll be a mission for the coming week. […]

The night ended in red mist

But before that, I did a good chunk of editing on the first three chapters of THE CHILDSEEKER’S WAR, with the intent of getting it all polished and shiny for shipment. A month ago or so, my intent was to print the whole thing out and read it and give […]

Wax and wane

I wrote stuff today, but it was mostly in the form of a CC critique. AKA no words. True to my burst writing nature, I’m on a bit of a non-writing streak. I’ll be okay with this so long as either some serious editing/shipment prep OR new words happen this […]

A night lost to the Underdark

And how! Tonight was the first time my Dungeons and Dragons crew reunited for a while (maybe even since the start of this blog? I don’t remember) and we had an awesome time making our way into an underground city. No words were written but a story was definitely authored. […]

Housekeeping 2

No words today, letting my writing brain rest a bit as I take care of some operational stuff that started to lag behind, such as some new landing pages for this website, writing up a cover art brief, doing a smidgen of plotting, that sort of thing. I’m also toying […]

Draft wrapped!

Only about 350 new words today, because the majority of effort was spent grafting the old denouement onto the finished climax and tidying up the major notes I’d left along the way. (This was all for the third installment of HUNTING MIDNIGHT, which is technically Episode Two, because the first […]

Climactic energy and philosophical equations

3,250 words! Got swept up in writing the climax, which is a very good sign of a string of scenes that were at least entertaining to write! That doesn’t mean they’re great to read, but the Reader always knows when the Writer was having a shit time. Almost 1am now, […]

Surprisingly productive!

I wrote 1,000 words today, finished The Colour of Magic, started The Slynx, figured out the next month’s bevy of writing-related tasks (sorta), watched a bunch of football and played a bunch of mobile games. Last night I was out until 3am again, so this burst of productivity was a […]

Unproductive

I had the whole afternoon wide open today, but a mild hangover and addicting mobile games made me an unproductive bum today. Not sure if I’ll be in better shape tomorrow, as there’s another adventure brimming this evening as well. A little annoyed at myself, but some days are simply […]
