I am not my word count
… my story however… That’s a different … story … thing. You know what I mean. Tonight is a writing night, a night I’ve specifically set aside for the writing of words and the making of stories. Only writing is hard some nights. I know I’m not alone on this. Other authors get a…

The Second Draft
My thirty thousand word month didn’t really come together like I’d hoped it would. My goal is to write everyday, but I’m much better writing in spurts than I am writing regularly. Having my own motivational program is helping, but it is also a bit damning when I look back on the month and see…

Writing Fuel
As I do my best to write write more regularly, I’m trying to identify those things that spark my muse and get my imagination working, and those things that actively hinder those things. I know, I know, you can’t always rely on your muse to write, or else you’re just waiting on the fickle little…

2014 in Review
I don’t know about you, but its been a pretty good year in House Swanson. We went to Phoenix Comic-con and had a blast with the Edge of December crew, despite the state being filled to the brim with creatures whose only purpose is to kill. I’m not even talking about the con attendees. I…

NaNoWriMo 2014 Postmortem
Well, ladies and gentleman, November is over and its time to look back upon it and gaze upon my fine works. Courtesy of WordKeeperAlpha here is how I did this month! Final word count for the month was 24438 words, just about half of the required 50,000. Do I feel bad? Maybe a little, but…

August: The month of where I guess I don’t write
Granted, its been a very mild summer, but August is still a helluva reason to keep inside. Which is good! I don’t write or code very well outside. Trust me, I’ve considered it, even tried it a time or two but it just doesn’t work out well. The glare on the iPad impairs writing, or…

WordKeeperAlpha Update: Where its been and where its going.
Its been a while since I posted anything specific on WordKeeperAlpha, so I thought I’d update everyone on exactly how its going and how far away 2.0 is. During the course of development last week I noticed that I had ten more users than I had previously noted which is both encouraging and disappointing. Encouraging…

Feels good!
I don’t know why its so damn hard to write some nights. Really, its just sitting my butt down in my comfy foof chair, and starting to type. That’s not actually hard. Its very easy, in fact! Plus, I always feel awesome after I’ve done it. Any length of time, any word count, doesn’t matter.…

Writing Weekend!
Yeah, so my last post was a little heavy handed. I'd apologize, but honestly I'd like to start doing some more posts like that. Things that are more than just status updates, posts about what I'm reading and writing. Every now and again, just talking about things like that seems like I'm taking the easy…

Quick site updates
I know they don’t look the best yet, but I’ve put out a couple quick updates to the site. ‘Projects’ is now Stories and will be where I keep everyone up to date on what I’m writing and how far along it is. I’ll also be putting up a ‘Read the first chapter’ bit on…
