These last couple of days, I’ve been writing in the morning/midday, and it’s been a lot more productive than waiting to do it as the last thing. I think that if I could get into a routine of doing it early in the morning, maybe before classes, it could be really good. The way I… Continue reading 1,500+ words in two days and some thoughts on practical issues
Zion and Babylon
So, I got back yesterday from my spontaneous trip with my old roommates! It was a lot of fun! Definitely worth skipping the last couple of days of classes! However, I can’t figure out how to upload pictures to this particular blog–I’m sure there’s a way to do it, I’m just not all that proficient… Continue reading Zion and Babylon
rrrrrrRRRRRRR!!!!!!! ALRIGHT I’M GOING!!!!!!!!!
Drek says this blog is boring. He says he doesn’t like reading post after post about how many words I did each day. He says my life as a writer is boring. I’m going to cry. But I have a chance to redeem myself. Because my old roommates are completely and totally insane. They decided… Continue reading rrrrrrRRRRRRR!!!!!!! ALRIGHT I’M GOING!!!!!!!!!
An awesome day!!!
Today was an AWESOME day for the Quark club! We had a ton of really great activities and meetings, and it was really fun! First, we had a book club meeting at 11…with a special guest! Brandon Sanderson joined us to discuss his book Mistborn! It was a lot of fun to ask him questions… Continue reading An awesome day!!!
527 words–I did it!
Yeah! I was tired, and thought that I’d throw in the towel after writing just a couple hundred words, but I kept saying to myself “come on, you can at least stay awake to write fifty more words–come on!” and it worked! I met both goals today, and I feel that the story is progressing… Continue reading 527 words–I did it!
not too much
Tonight, it was late, and believe it or not I actually do value my sleep (not as much as other things, but I do value it nonetheless), so I didn’t write anything original today. Instead, I went back about ten or fifteen pages back and did some light revision while reminding myself what’s going on… Continue reading not too much
About 500 words and some frustrations
Man, I wrote about five hundred new words today, but I’m really dissatisfied with them. I wrote them late at night / early in the morning, so they aren’t all that coherent. Towards the end, I was practically asleep hitting random keys. My brain is like an old machine right now that you have to… Continue reading About 500 words and some frustrations
515 words and this last week of school is killing me
Yeah, I sat down tonight and wrote it out. You know how you feel when you have an idea in your mind of what you want to happen on the next page, or you think of a good exchange of dialogue, and when you sit down to write it you forget it? That was what… Continue reading 515 words and this last week of school is killing me
Finished revision (for now), ready to plug ahead
Between classes, I finished the revisions that I wanted to make to that one section that I sent out for the last Quark meeting. I rewrote a lot of it, and in the end, it came to about 1,000 words. Excellent! Now, to move the story forward. Some really cool stuff is going to happen… Continue reading Finished revision (for now), ready to plug ahead
A Rebuke from the Past
I’ve been reading through a lot of my old journals recently (and by old, I’m talking 1994-ish, back when I was in 3rd and 4th grade), and I’ve been learning a couple of surprising things! For one, I’ve learned that my writing style back then is about as grammatically correct as my blogging style on… Continue reading A Rebuke from the Past
