Writing Life

The life most real to me. As evidenced by the preponderance of posts.

I’d Write More, But…

But my butt hurts.ย  It’s been solidly planted while I worked hard for several hours, you know.ย  First out there, then in here. But!ย  Good news.ย  I see how to wrap up Taro.ย  It’ll take some careful stitching, a lot of polishing, and a re-write of a few beginning scenes, but at least now I […]

Scene of DOOM

It’s done, I think. It’s crap, but it’s done. And crap is okay–just as long as it’s done. Because done crap can be polished into awesome stuff, but undone crap is just–crap. What? That does make sense! It’s as close as I’m getting tonight, anyway. Tomorrow I’ll look at the printed MS and see what

Laptop = Coolest thing EVAH!!

I’m in my room. My lovely bedroom, that I worked hard on, yet never spend time time in while conscious. I’m in my bed. Writing. Typing joyfully. Who’d’a thunk I wrote better in bed?

I Find My Lack of Industry…disturbing

I remember when I wrote nearly every day. Not just a few words, either. About 800 words on days I worked, and 1200 or more on days I didn’t. It wasn’t magic that I ended up with several complete novel drafts (I think the count is seven? *counts on fingers* yep, seven.) I worked my

Hurrah for Books!

No, those aren’t here yet. But since I was so excited and didn’t want to wait, I picked up another I had lying around. One I couldn’t manage to get into last time around. Boy, am I regretting that now. Because now, I’m going to have to go through Taro again after this fix. But…I
