Got another 500 words done today. Kind of in a rush, but hey, they’re there! And I don’t hate them all! The good news — even though I was rushed this morning (slept in and didn’t exercise for various reasons) — even though it’s been a very short period of time that I’ve been writing […]

I actually wrote yesterday as well, just forgot to post. Yesterday — I’m not sure the number of words. Probably about 300 new words, with untold rewritten words. Finished chapter 3. And I mean *really* finished, as in, if I go back and do a rewrite again, it’ll just be a polish, instead of a

Word count for today: 600 words Stopping because I finished the chapter (chapter 3). It isn’t quite right, I’m going to need to do more rewriting. I’m wondering how much background I need to bring into this chapter, if I can leave some of the motivations behind the one character’s choices to be made clear

Managed 500 words of rewrite today. Didn’t actually write more than a sentence or two beyond the end of where I’d been, but at least I managed something. I actually have been writing the last few days, but it’s all been rewriting.

The homebeast is back, and I didn’t lose any data,. Life is good. Now, as ya’ll may or may not know, I’ve gotten into working out recently — either running or doing the elliptical, for 45 minutes, four or five days a week. I have a music player that I use when I exercise (a

I did make progress on the novel this weekend, I just didn’t post about it. But I made inroads with the next chapter, outlining as well as writing. So though I’m not making the kind of progress I should be making, at least I made some. My laptop should be home either today or tomorrow

About two weeks ago, for various reasons, many involving laziness, I stopped making daily backups of my computer (the home beast) Last night, my computer decided that it was no longer going to turn on. Push the power button and nothing happens. This is the second time this has happened to this machine. It’s still

Today: Today’s been rough. I tried to do today without caffeine. This was a mistake, as A) I didn’t fall asleep until after midnight and B) Little Cat decided that I needed to get up at 5. I still tried to write this morning. All I ended up doing was rewriting much of what I’d

Today: Rewrote parts of chapter one, the interlude, as well as this chapter I’m working on, chapter 2. Wrote an additional 500 words, including three very bad haikus. Stopping now because I’m to the point that I’m hating every single word I’m writing. But that’s okay. I’m not a writer, but a rewriter (see above.)

Today: — Renamed most of the major characters. Again. But maybe these names will stick. — Rewrote the interlude. Again. But I’m happier with it. — Filled out complete character study sheet on the father character. — Did 500 words on the next chapter.
