Jee sat with the other men around the fire as the storm rocked the ship.  They talked, swapped stories, traded jokes, all in an effort to remain calm and take their minds off the weather.  The atmosphere was calm enough, despite the risk, until one young recruit, a private Tien, spoke up.

“I just don’t get it.  Why?  Why ( Read more... )

Well that’s…refreshing.  I was worried about getting back into the 1K, but this scene just took on a mind of its own.

To clarify, I fell of the 1K wagon for a bit there.  Last Saturday was the last day I managed 1,000+ words.  Sunday I was able to do about 500, but I was recovering from working 9 pm to 3:30am Saturday night ( ( Read more... )

That was totally worth it!

It was tricky getting started, but again, once I got going on “Dragon”, a lot of the scenes wrote themselves.  I’m really starting to become fond of AU Azula and Zuko and their relationship.  I’m still going to have to go back and do a crapton of work on Book One once the rough draft is complete.  But again, I’m ( Read more... )

So I wasn’t originally going to count the editorial in my daily 1K word count.  But I’m slightly burnt out today and I have not yet gotten anything new for “Dragon.”

The reason I wasn’t thinking of counting the editorial was because it isn’t fiction.  But it still took some effort to write because I wanted to get a semi-professional wording ( Read more... )

            Well that was a close one.  I wasn’t sure if I was gonna be able to get myself to write today.

I didn’t sleep well again last night, so I’ve been kind of out of it all day.  But I watched some more of Season One and that got me going.  Mostly because one of the episodes had the scene that originally got me addicted to ( Read more... )

            Two days in a row!  That’s a record for me.

Seriously, it is.  Writing continually over the course of a few days has always been an issue for me, nevermind writing 1,000 words a day.  Especially since I’m no longer in college and I don’t have due dates for assignments.

I didn’t write 1,000 words for “A ( Read more... )

            Well I’ll be.  I actually did it!

I am extremely pleased to say that I wrote over 1000 words today.  It was a bit of a close one, I kept getting distracted (especially when the modem died and I couldn’t have youtube as background music).  But I actually did it.

Final word count for the day?  1,224.  And ( Read more... )

Ok so writing 1,000 words a day isn’t as easy as I thought it would be.  Of course, I didn’t expect it to really be ‘easy’ to begin with.  As always my main problem is myself.  I let myself get distracted too often and too easily.  The good news is that I still did some brainstorming on the motivations of Zuko, Azula and Iroh, (I need a quick ( Read more... )

I am very pleased to say that I did it.

Did what, you ask?  I completed my outline for the Avatar Big Bang that’s what.  It still needs a lot of work, particularly for Book Three because right now I’m basically replacing Canon Zuko and Iroh with AU Zuko and Azula.  But the outline is DONE!  And at over 3,000 words no less, if ( Read more... )
