Getting ready for the fourth week and still somehow managing to get through the days. I had a leisurely session this morning of 471 words, but it was enough to carry me over 35K. I am firmly in All is Lost territory and rounding the corner on the All is Lost. Half-formed ideas are already […]
2/3 of the way to a finished novel! Or at least 50,000 words of a novel that will need to be worked on. I managed a good writing session this morning, due to one goal I set for myself: I am not allowed to watch the new Mandalorian episode if I haven’t made my word […]
Setting up the road map helped me somewhat. It allowed me to see how much more I need to get through to get to the finale. I still have no idea for the finale, but I have a better idea of what will come at the end of part 3, the 50% to 75% of […]
I didn’t write this morning because I decided, after hitting 30K words, it might be time once again to check the map in order to figure out how to get from here to 50K. I’ve got about 7,000 words or so left in Bad Guys Close In, and I am still not sure where I’m […]
I didn’t get a chance to write in the morning, and was going to have a busy evening, so I was a bit concerned I might fall behind today. But thanks to my reMarkable tablet, I was able to write almost 600 words while riding in the car on the way to visit friends, which […]
Another 1,000 words squeezed out of my poor brain. To go back to my road trip metaphor, I am missing a chunk of my map. I have a vague idea of the direction I want to travel, but no idea what roads to take to get there. I am going to have to stop at […]
Today was another tough day. I still don’t know where the story is going. I have a vague idea of the turning point to go from the end of Act 2 to the start of Act 3, but I still have about ten thousand words between here and there, and that’s where I am having […]
Today was a rough day to write. I had taken yesterday easy, writing only 52 words, so for the first time since I started, I began my writing day with a deficit. Then the morning got away from me, so I was unable to do any writing. I was finally able to get some words […]
After an intense couple of weeks, I needed today to recharge and get ready to attack the second half with gusto. But I also wanted to make sure I didn’t let a day go by without at least some words. I wrote a total of 52. Also, going forward, I won’t be posting the rest […]
I have reached the halfway point! Getting ready to go into Week 3 tomorrow a little ahead, but not enough to rest on my laurels. So, I’ve written the scene that had been in my head, and I honestly have no idea what is coming up next. With the bit of cushion I have, I […]
