Day 4,716: A Cool Wind

Day 4,716: A Cool Wind

I’m getting us back into the fine distinctions! It’s something I have bandwidth for, I guess, when I’m not so pressured with my writing, lol. Okay, been a while. Let’s crack open the book and see what we got… Maze versus Labyrinth. Ooo! A good one. Okay. A maze has...

Day 4,715: Ding Dong

Day 4,715: Ding Dong

The book is done. I’ve written that now for the eighth time. I’ve finished eight novels. Or, at least, the first draft of the eighth has been written. It will be done done in a few weeks. And my second finished book this year, which is a first. That’s pretty wild, on...

Day 4,714: Five Hundred

Day 4,714: Five Hundred

The book will be done tomorrow. That would be on time according to my cowriter, which he swung by graciously pushing our release date, but a month late according to my own schedule. Getting it done any earlier than that, honestly, was going to be impossible. I don’t...

Day 4,713: Liminal

Day 4,713: Liminal

Two days away from finishing I think. I had the strange feeling today of that momentum carrying me across the finish line, and thinking back on all the times leading up to this where I worried I wouldn’t get here. Not a rational worry—I knew I would. Or…I knew I...

Day 4,711: Colored Blue

Hit a wall today. A small one. Like…a garden wall, the kind that only go waist high. I still wrote 12 pages on the day, so only three short, but I got zonked. In bed early enough to read about pirates, though, which is what I’m off to do. Good night.

Day 4,710: B-Sides

Coops had a cyst burst open on his back. Poor bubs. It happens all the time, apparently, with older pups, which he is one now. He’s had a few of these, in fact. They’re not pimples. It’s not a result of anything infected. But they can kinda pop open like pimples. When...

Day 4,709: Stage One

Ze book crossed 100,000 words today. Another milestone. We gettin so so close. A certain character is almost saved! Then one more big set piece to get through and we’re practically home free. It’s a final showdown from there, a quicker one that’s really just the...

The manuscript passed 400 pages today! Woohoo! Very happy with that 🙂 And it’s been fun, too, this section of the book. That’s literally always my goal. My task. Is it fun? Congrats to GRV, who beat Brotherhood tonight to lift the dance trophy. Liz and I will...
