I suppose I should be happy that I wrote so much, but I don’t feel like I’m making as much progress as that four digit number implies. I still feel like I’m stuck on this one scene, and even though a lot has happened, I don’t feel that it’s concluded in such a way that… Continue reading 1,659 words and some other cool stuff

Grrr!!! Only 500 words tonight!
I know that that’s my daily goal, and that I reached it, but I wanted to do so much more! I swear, I have to take this computer somewhere where I can’t get an internet connection and won’t be bothered by anyone else! And I’ve got to start early in the day, and just keep… Continue reading Grrr!!! Only 500 words tonight!
1,703 words for a grand total of 61,199. Oh, and Merry Christmas.
Christmas was an awesome day! It was also a very busy day, but very good. Even though it was busy, I could have written a lot more a lot earlier, but as usual I kept putting it off. And also as usual when I did stop putting it off, I really got into the story… Continue reading 1,703 words for a grand total of 61,199. Oh, and Merry Christmas.
1,000 plus words, but I need to be doing more
Just another update on the novel I’m working on. Also, some ideas on writing without distractions.
Hooray for Christmas Break!
Finals are OVER!!! Fall semester is FINISHED!!! Holy Cow! And I’m home for the holidays! That means freedom!…for a couple of weeks, anyways. So, the question now is: how to use this freedom? Here’s what I plan to do over the break:
really quick
This is going to be way short. Exam week is upon us all, and all the hecticness that it brings. Had two exams today, a really difficult one and a really easy one (and now that Arabic 201 is officially over, I can start having fun learning Arabic…). Got Geography tomorrow morning. I wrote a… Continue reading really quick
844 words, an awesome writing meeting, and some plans for submitting stuff
I haven’t posted in the last couple of days, mostly because I’ve been so busy. Thursday especially was crazy–there was this huge Arabic final, and I had a big paper to write and get in by five. But, yeah, these are crazy times anyways, what with finals. I sat down and immersed myself in my… Continue reading 844 words, an awesome writing meeting, and some plans for submitting stuff
1,584 words and I still don’t like 24
1,584 words tonight! Yay! Progress! In about 12,000 words, this will be the longest that I’ve ever made it in any novel attempt. And it only took 4 months (well, and about a year to come up with a fully matured concept for it)! All this time I’ve been writing at my friend Steve’s house.… Continue reading 1,584 words and I still don’t like 24
1,457 words and things are going NICELY!!!
I wrote about 1,030 words in The Lost Colony and 427 words in the short story I wrote about last time. That puts The Lost Colony at just under 54,000 words and this short story around 1,500. And man, it was fun to write tonight! I was really getting into it! I think that The… Continue reading 1,457 words and things are going NICELY!!!
700 words and a few rambling thoughts (as usual)
I got in 700 words tonight, and that puts my novel right around 52,000 words. But the thing is that I don’t even know if it’s half finished–in fact, I get the feeling that it isn’t. I know that Andy said that this isn’t something I should worry about in the first draft, but I’m… Continue reading 700 words and a few rambling thoughts (as usual)
