I'm more than a little late with this, but I managed to make my 400k Wri Ye goal for 2011 and ended with 423,321 words ( Read more... )

The past few days have been a bit of a mixed bag for me. On both Friday and Sunday I was quite bad and didn't actually start writing until about 11 at night despite not having anything else to do, so I only got 1,595 and 2,073 words done respectively. Saturday and today were totally different though, thanks to the write-ins as a result of which I ( Read more... )

Okay, so this year my distraction mode has kicked in extra early, hitting me on the 2nd day of NaNo! Yep, that's right, yesterday the only writing I got done was at work between the official end of the work day and the start of the experiment set-up for which I stayed late (we have to wait until a certain before we can start). Beyond that (1,001 ( Read more... )

This is the first year where I didn't start writing around midnight, but I hadn't managed to read all of what I'd written for this idea last year before being distracted, so I decided to focus on that first to prevent myself from accidentally re-writing a scene I'd already done (I absolutely hate it when I do that!). I continued that first thing ( Read more... )

It's just under T - 2 hours until midnight and the start of NaNo 2011 ( Read more... )

Just got back from a C.W.I.L. meeting (my local writer's meeting for all things not mainstream with a heavy focus on sci-fi & fantasy) where I got my recent microfiction critiqued. On the bright side I now have a title for it, namely Virtual Strangers. On the other hand it's become quite clear that it still needs a lot of work...

Hey guys, I know that I've been gone a really long time from here, but I'm still alive! Sorry about the absence, I've got no real excuse only that I did what I really tried not to do and not only got swallowed up by watching and reading fic in the Supernatural fandom, but also by writing fic for a totally new ( Read more... )

As it's March again, I've signed up for NaNoEdMo once more. As with last year, the goal is to do 50 hours of editing over the course of the month.

So far, I've done 3 hours and 5 minutes just doing my normal writing. I aim to use this opportunity to finally go back and edit various original short stories that I've written and had reviewed at my ( Read more... )

Yep, I've signed up for WriYe again this year. My target goal for this year is the same as last year: 350,000 words. Though I definitely plan to keep up with my word count better this year and not leave so much of it for NaNoWriMo ( Read more... )

As predicted, we had bad weather here today, which meant that I had a lot of time to write and I made good use of it ( Read more... )
