Drum-roll. Fanfare. And can I get an \”about time\”? 🙂 It\’s been a long time coming. I want to do this project justice, so the work has taken a while to get right. The first season will be six episodes, each a short novella. When the whole season is done, it\’ll be compiled into a …
Today was the final day of NaNoWriMo. I put in the requisite 2000 words (actually 2300) I still needed to make my goal for the month. I probably could have snuck in a but more, but I had a nice, relaxing day, with several chunks of writing time in, and plenty of time to do …

Had a great day today! Up, breakfast of yogurt (raspberry with one of those packs of chocolate shavings on top to pour in). Then I was out the door around 10am to go to soccer with the kids. Got to play with them some, and watch them play. Always a good time. One of them …
My peak writing days give me 20-25 thousand words of fiction. I can kick out five thousand or more words in a day without really breaking a sweat. I’ve also found that the parts of my books where I wrote more words per day are cleaner, clearer, require less revision and get less critique from …

Writing Update Had a decent writing day today. Despite a lot of other things going on, I managed to get in 2300 words. That\’s not bad! If I can do 2k a day, that\’s 700k or so in a year, well beyond my goal. Always good to get a little extra in when I can, …
Up at 6am. Out the door by 6:30. Out of work at about 5pm, after an entire shift where I literally wasn\’t able to so much as sit down until the last fifteen minutes. I don\’t do well with no food for ten hours… Really need to find a way to grab a granola bar …
First day back at work, so up at 5:30, showered, dressed,and out the door by about 6:30. WITH some food in my stomach, which is always a plus. Work is long, hard, and tiring. Physically, mentally…emotionally. But I did manage a lunch break today, and I DID manage to put in 300 words on a …

Didn\’t wake up til around 9am. Still felt groggy and tired. Stayed in bed checking email and generally surfing the internet while feeling cruddy until around 11am. Then up, got a little housework done, fed myself and the munchkins lunch. Susan had left in the early AM hours for an Arisia meeting – she\’s the …
Technically, I think I should have written the \”halfway mark\” post yesterday, but I was so motivated to write the bit about motivation that it slipped my mind. (grin) I realized last night I was coming down with a cold bug – fever and all, last night – so I called in sick to work. …
