i want to write! my brain is shifting into high gear, and i am holding myself back for the 1st. i did make the mistake of pulling up the mad queen and start working on that, and that is all revision and editing at this point. i feel kinda lost with that one a lot recently, though. I don't know if it is because i have let it sit for too long, or if ( Read more... )

I have been hard at work plotting my NaNoWriMo 2010. It is epic. Literally. There are times when I feel like I have bitten off more than I can handle, but then I look at what I have done so far (and I haven't even written anything yet) and I know that I can do this. I just need to work really hard on making sure it is all lined up for November ( Read more... )

Wow, so two months since I posted here...I am really falling behind on my lj-ing. To update you, I succeeded at NaNoWriMo. I actually wrote something like 8,000 words in the last day because I had been falling so far behind, but I did finish! It wasn't too good, in my opinion. I don't even know if it is salvageable. It might be, but it would ( Read more... )

I read The Riddle Master of Hed trilogy over the last three days. I probably could have read them in less, but I felt like taking a day per book. I tend to forget Patricia McKillip when I am listing my favorite authors, but she blows me away with her gorgeous and subtle descriptions and the depth of her characters and intricacies of her plots.

So, my novel is kicking my ass. I haven't given up, exactly. But I keep trying to write the new scenes that I have in my head, and it isn't working very well. I have written like two paragraphs in the last two weeks. It is a little depressing, honestly. But I have hope. I have a fairly good draft right now, what is written seems to be written ( Read more... )

So, I am going to edit The Mad Queen and I am going to also work on my urban fantasy. I gave myself five days of no writing, but now I am going to get back on it. So I am going to need everyone's encouragement to keep going. It really isn't that hard. I am going to set myself a 60,000 word goal and a 1000 word a ( Read more... )
