Writing wise. The novel is at 53,000 ish words, so some progress this month.  And there were 2695 words of short story written - which is about 50% of it ( Read more... )

Still behind on the word count. At 49,000 words approx. Therefore a third of the way into June and I'm at minus one thousand words of the ten thousand words of novel I am "scheduled" to write this month. Instead of knuckling down, I have started work on a short story instead, I think we can kiss hitting 60,000 words the end of the month goodbye ( Read more... )

I think I am going to miss the word target for this month. I need to hit 50,000 words by Friday night. (There has been some other stuff happening that has made me less productive, least of all the weather) I am at 46,697 (MS Word count) ... so it is achievable.

To do list:

• Buy a single malt whisky
  
• Novella - "Crow". Review and revise. Look at seeing if I can sell it anywhere.

Okay, I am writing again and have been for a few months. Progress is slow ... but I have nearly 30,000 words of a new novel and the project is starting to feel serious. Serious enough that I feel that I can start talking about it publicly. I've been doing some thinking on the project over the last few days - beyond thoughts on plot and character ( Read more... )

I am writing again. Slowly, in fits and spurts. But last year I only wrote one story ... more of a viginette. There has been a lot of reasons why I stopped writing ... but it's coming back, between the other forces that compete upon my attention., It's a fragile thing and I am afraid that I will destroy it if I push it. I'm not yet ready for word ( Read more... )
