So a common meme I see around is "Teaser Tuesday", where you post a sentence or two (without spoilers) from the latest book you're reading. Thought it was interesting until I noticed the "Tuesday" part. WHY YOU GOTTA PIGEONHOLE ME, BROS? I'ma post this meme on whatever day I feel like ( Read more... )

Yes, I've decided to start making ~weekly writing check ins~, to update the world on the current progress of my projects. If nothing else, it forces me to post every week even if I can't think of any other appropriate topic to discuss.

*ahem* That said, it's actually been a pretty productive month! Let's see, thus far I have to report:

Camp has started on my side of the pond. As it approached I felt less and less like to do it, granted my other pressing writing projects, but once midnight rolled around I decided to give the new story a spin anyway...and i ended up writing 1851 words in an hour! Now, I currently do not have internet at my place, so that probably explains why... ( Read more... )

One (hardy har) of the links I've seen floating around the writing world as of late is that of oneword.com, a prompt site that gives you "one word" and a minute to write everything you can about it. While prompt sites are not unique in themselves at all, nor is the idea of using "one word" to garner inspiration, this is the first time I've seen a ( Read more... )

I've been having one of those months, dear readers. You know, the kind of month where nothing is good enough and you're convinced that you're going to fail at everything and OH MY GOD WHY DO YOU EVEN TRY?? JEEZ. Yeah, that's me ( Read more... )

Yesterday I got my Nano stuff in the mail. Most of it was gifted to me, so I only had to pay for the posters. I like the one poster, it's made of great quality, is really colorful, and has all the goals for each day on it. The other poster is a standard Night of Writing Dangerously promo poster that I don't really need. I also got the ML shirt ( Read more... )

Back again for more map adventures! Sorry for the absence since last time...laptop blackout kinda killed any and all work ethic for a week or so there.

The full sized version of the map (taken with a digital camera, sorry, no scanner) can be viewed here.

( This time we look at the economical cesspool of Nagnomei. D'aw. )

There's something to be said about irony. I mean, besides the fact that it's my favorite thing ever and you would never guess I'm prone to being anemic. But irony is only really cool when it happens to other people. When it happens to you? Not so much ( Read more... )

Unemployment makes one such as myself go to bitter extremes to feel productive, especially when under the scrutinizing eye of extended family. This want for productivity has led me to create more extensive maps of my self-created fantasy world that is the namesake and setting of my series Nagnomei. While I have (slightly altered over the years) ( Read more... )

My longest manuscript thus far is cappin' around 500 pages. Maybe around 250k words. The usual accepted length for a "novel" (ie: not a novella or a short story) is around 50k words and at least over 100 pages. Of course, this is arbitrary, but please humor this standard for the duration of this post ( Read more... )
