I keep meaning to post more often. I’m not sure if I will now or not. I’ve finished chapters 1 & 2 of the new novel, and just wrote about 1500 words of chapter 3. However, even though I wrote almost every day last month, I was doing small amounts all the time, 500-1000 words. […]
I love WisCon. I draw sparkly shiny hearts all around it. I have no voice and am exhausted and frazzled and I never want it to end. *sigh* Seriously. These are my people. Though I’m in such a better emotional space this WisCon than I was last year, I still needed the emotional support I’ve

I’ve been writing. A lot, actually. I’m over halfway through chapter 1. I wasn’t able to write much on the weekend, and I’ve fallen down to 500 words per session in terms of output.

I’ve had way too much caffeine this morning. My hands are shaking and my stomach’s a mess. HOWEVER. I’ve also had a lovely, lovely brainstorming session. I’ve figured out the high points of the first nine chapters of the next novel (Harp of Fire.) Then I have six chapters where I know a few things

You know the piriformis muscle? Yeah, that one, that’s deep in your glutes that is never quite strong enough or stretched enough? I think I strained that this morning working out. Not pulled, it isn’t quite that bad. But still. Ow. Tonight I’ll finish the rewrite of the second novel of this trilogy. Yay! I
