WorldCon or bust!
Heya folks. I’ve been a little lax in posting last month. This is mostly by design, since I’m in the middle of a two month push to finish the second draft of Impervious. I’m doing pretty good so far. I’ve gotten about five more chapters finished, with an unknown number left. But I’m coming up…

The Second Draft Slog
Man… 2016 has not been a good year for my writing. Four months in and I'm only at twenty thousand words, and not many of those are usable in Impervious. I know exactly where the book is going…and the next part is going to be awesome to write…but I just can't seem to get past…

Where I will make exactly one resolution
I don’t have anything against New Year’s resolutions. I really don’t. The only one I can remember making last year was to write more than I did the year before. In that I succeeded. I had other goals: such as finishing Impervious and getting more done on WordKeeperAlpha. Well, I didn’t finish Impervious. I didn’t…

2015: Excuses and Explanations
Ok, so, as years go, 2015 was actually pretty good from a writing perspective. Granted, I didn’t accomplish several goals that I set for myself, but I did make significant progress on many goals, and accomplished others that I hadn’t set. One goal that I did accomplish was writing more in 2015 than I wrote…

National Novel Writing Month in Perspective
Phew! So that was a thing that happened. In case it wasn’t obvious from the title I participated in NaNoWriMo this month, and unlike last year, I won! I won in the sense that I wrote 50,200 words, rather than finished an actual novel. I don’t think anything I ever write is going to be…

NaNoWriMo Journal Day 13 (delayed): It’s my birthday!
As with all blogging activities, I could be doing better at this whole journal thing. But really, its hard to write more after you’ve been busting your hump to make your word count. Right now, I’m a little behind since I took last night off and played StarCraft. What? I am but mortal and subject…

NaNoWriMo Journal Day 9: A day of rest
Well, it’s been a few days since I wrote a journal entry, mostly because I burned myself out on writing over the weekend. Friday night we had our Pathfinder game, which I really didn’t want to miss, but I’d built up a buffer. Still, I fell a bit behind. On Saturday I was beset on…

NaNoWriMo Journal Day 4: To Battle!
My first space battle is heating up and its getting really fun to write it. So much so that its difficult to call it a night tonight. Unfortunately, the coffee shop is closing in a few minutes and I have work tomorrow. Annoying, but what are you going to do? The crew of the Elusive…

NaNoWriMo Journal Day 3: Late night
So, I’m writing this on Nov. 4th because last night I was writing right up until midnight (11:30) and didn’t have time or the inclination to sit down and then write a journal entry. Last night I clocked in at 1519 words (under goal) bringing me to 5123 words total so far. I’m still above…

NaNoWriMo Journal Day 2: The Monday Cometh
Monday’s have a sacred purpose: Ruining the weekend. Oh, if only it were still the weekend, all the writing I’d do. Nevertheless, I persevere and attain my goals. Today’s words: 1672 Total words: 3604 So…my story doesn’t reeeeaaaaalllly know what it wants to be yet. I’ve read all the Honor Harrington books several times which…
