1800 words and breaking the 100 page mark
My story is double spaced, in 12 point Courier New, but yeah, it’s pretty awesome to break 100 pages. What’s surprising to me is that that translates to 77 pages in single spaced 12 point Times New Roman. I thought that my story was advancing really fast, but now, I’m not quite so sure. A… Continue reading 1800 words and breaking the 100 page mark
Things are becoming busy, but I’m still writing
Yesterday was an extremely busy day! Much more than I was expecting. I probably would have accomplished more with a better plan and more self-discipline, but it was a good day. However, there were a few things I didn’t do–like write. I think things are still going well, though. The day before, I wrote 1,300… Continue reading Things are becoming busy, but I’m still writing
A friendly review and some revision
This isn’t going to be very long, because it’s late at night. Aneeka was kind enough to read my story, and gave some good pointers. I was pleasantly surprised that she felt that she could understand and sympathize with the characters. I was especially surprised that she sympathized with the main character, Ian, because he’s… Continue reading A friendly review and some revision
1079 words and a goal adjustment
1,079 words today, but I decided to throw out the last 487, so it balances out to about 500. The really cool thing was that I wrote all this in the two separate hours I had between classes. I’ve always thought that I should only write if I have a large amount of time set… Continue reading 1079 words and a goal adjustment
1,200 words and another story idea
1,200 words today. After going to a BYU Freedom Society meeting (it’s a new political club), I went to the LRC and just wrote. It’s been so long since my last writing session that I had to read over what I’d written last time, and in doing so I found out that I wanted to… Continue reading 1,200 words and another story idea
2,000 words and some thoughts on the characters
I got out of classes today at 3 pm and had this really strange sensation. I wanted to go anywhere but the place where I was. It was very wierd. All through my last class, I’d been watching the clock, counting down the minutes, and when the time finally came, I still felt really cramped.… Continue reading 2,000 words and some thoughts on the characters
1673 words and things are AWESOME
Yeah! 1673 words, and that doesn’t include some major edits I made of the first chapter. I got some good feedback from the Quark writing meeting, and made a few edits to the first chapter. Some pretty sizeable edits, in fact, but I’m very satisfied with them. Now, my philosophy is not to make any… Continue reading 1673 words and things are AWESOME
About 1,200 words and a goal modification
It’s late at night, but I just got finished writing and I wanted to blog in about it. It went fairly well. I introduced a new character (Leila) and tried to develop her a little bit, show the different sides of her personality and how she reacts to trials and difficulties. I hope that I… Continue reading About 1,200 words and a goal modification
Taking a break tonight
1,127 words yesterday and I started class today, with TONS of Arabic homework, so I decided to take a break and go to bed early. I need the sleep. Yesterday, when I started writing, it was difficult at first because there wasn’t much action, but as soon as the action picked up the writing just… Continue reading Taking a break tonight
