Well, I felt the urge to blog--and here I am--but I really don't have anything to blog about, other than reaching 30k. Party ( Read more... )

So I'm posting because I'm procrastinating--not that big of a deal, right? And I'm only allowing myself to procrastinate because I have reached the day's goal--which happens to be 20,000 words!

It didn't hit me until after I typed the 20,003rd word and ditzed about Twitter and went to get supper with my brother that I started this novel on ( Read more... )

Two cups of hot chocolate downed so far (hot chocolate because I'm addicted and I don't like coffee). I've decided that I should stand telling myself that this is crazy fun.

I have a new, $17 Moleskine.

I am starting over.

Pen and paper.

Although I'm only on Chapter Two of HEIRESS, I already love her and can't wait to snap some necks with her kick-butt talent. Her theme songs: "Pokerface" by the one and ( Read more... )

Not too much progress today, but I'll take it:

Inspiration has struck. Well, it struck a while ago. Now I'm touching up my half-formed outline for the first part of my inspiration and I should be good to go. Here is a summary of my new novel, tentatively titled HEIRESS:
