Today, around midnight, I just had this urge to escape reality and jump into my novel. That, so far, has proven to be the most effective way to escape the strange sense of procrastination that keeps me from writing when I can. I stopped caring about sleep and just dove in. Now, I’m 717 words… Continue reading 717 words

288 words…
…and I’m so freaking tired that I’m going to bed NOW. At least I wrote something today!
Um, yeah…only 66 words tonight…
But at least I wrote SOMETHING. Around 10:30 at night, I went and visited my old roommate Steve who’s a film major. He was trying to finish a screenplay and get it in before midnight, so I decided to come and write with him in the same room. So then, got home, took a shower,… Continue reading Um, yeah…only 66 words tonight…
1,100 words and a very fun Nanowrimo writing party!
I’ve been wanting to organize some more informal get togethers with Quark. I heard from Gamila that it’s really the informal get togethers that Aneeka threw together back in the day that got the ball rolling with the writing group. Of course, when I was talking online with Drek about this and venting / bouncing… Continue reading 1,100 words and a very fun Nanowrimo writing party!
1,233 words on this hot date with my science fiction novel
I’m past the part that I was hung up on, and now I’m in a good part. The story is advancing quickly, and it’s really coming together quite naturally. Yay! I didn’t write yesterday, but I more than made up for it today. I love it how when you have vague ideas before you sit… Continue reading 1,233 words on this hot date with my science fiction novel
Yay! 790 words!
This is going to be really short, because it’s very late and I’ve got to sleep (preferably not in church tomorrow). I picked up the novel tonight and got another 790 words in. Yay! So I’m not stuck as bad as I’d thought! I’ll just have to rewrite that one part at some time. And… Continue reading Yay! 790 words!
I thought this was supposed to be fun…
Well, it is. At least, the net effect is fun. But the day to day writing can be kind of…difficult. I’ve made some progress in the last few days, even though I neglected to write about it here. Mostly, it’s just been between classes or insanely late at night, so I haven’t had time to… Continue reading I thought this was supposed to be fun…
680 words and some updates
680 words tonight. I did stay up a bit later than I’d wanted to, but meh, I don’t have class until 1:00. It really didn’t take that long to write–what took up the time was the few games I played, and also the surfing around wikipedia and other random places on the web. I am… Continue reading 680 words and some updates
freaking tired
Yes, I got the minimum in. Just barely. I guess you could call it 500 words. In any case, I’m becoming incoherent, so the time has come to get some sleep. Man, if I could have a super power it would be the ability to go indefinitely without sleep, and still be perfectly functional! I… Continue reading freaking tired
More on worldbuilding: specifically, religion
So, in this novel that I’m writing, I have this quasi-primitive tribal medieval culture that develops on an isolated planet. An important part of the story is actually creating this culture, figuring it out, how it works and how it doesn’t, etc. And one of the most important parts of this particular culture is the… Continue reading More on worldbuilding: specifically, religion
