I define writer’s block as the strong desire to write, but no words show up, for an extended amount of time. I’m very lucky. I don’t get writer’s block. There have been times in my life when I haven’t written, but that bubbling up need to write, that boiling of words just under the surface, […]
One of the neat things I’m thinking about a lot with these novels is religion vs. spiritualism.

So for the month of November I’m going to try to post once a day. Not just “I’m flying to SF today for the day job” (though that is what I’m doing today.) No — I’m going to try to express some of my thinky thoughts on things. The chances that I’ll actually succeed at

I’ve finished typing up chapter nine this week. Here’s the word count meter. 51982 / 100000 I wrote about 2500 words today on chapter ten. I’m thrilled with where it’s going, how these characters are developing, and the arcs that are showing themselves to me. I have such a better idea how to refine these
