Quick entry tonight! It's after 1am. It was 113° today, and it's going to be 100° tomorrow. Uuuugggghhhhh. I got 3,000 words written, which I was very happy with. All. Most. Done. Hung out with Ker-bear and Jessie. We just played Mariokart for a while together. Sooo...

I wrote just over 2,000 words today, and I edited/placed in several more scenes I'd already written...and called it a good day. I'm happy with my day. THEN...we went to the Hollywood Bowl with Dayner and Twan, and we watched Harry Potter to the live orchestrations of...

America is a year older. I love my country, in turmoil as it is. Happy Birthday. I wrote 2,000 words today on my "off" day. I was very, very happy with that. Tomorrow, my goal is 4,000, and then another 4,000 after that. Wish me luck. Not so much in hitting 8,000...

Today was an excellent work day. I wrote 4,000 words (about 16 pages). They were good words, too. The scenes today flowed really, really well. My bad guy is a baaaadddd dude. It's fun to write. That is pretty much all I did today, except watch the baseball game...

I feel refreshed. Part of that is the dope ass shower I just took (so fresh and so clean!)...but part of it is also how much crap I got done today. The house was dirty. I cleaned it. The laundry needed folding. I folded it. Newsletters needed writing. I wrote them. It...

I think I can have my book finished next week. Like, actually, for reals finished. I'll have to buckle down real hard and stay focused, but it's actually doable. Exciting! Scary! I'm ready for it, honestly. Ready to be finished with this phase, and moving onto the...

I had another 3,000-word day. The book, it grows. It's at 142,000 words, which is long enough now for an epic fantasy. It's not going to stay that long. It's going to either be pared down, or it's going to be split into two novels. Leaning towards the second option...

I'm "feeling" it again... A connection to the end part of this story. It all started with the little breakthrough yesterday, a character moment that opened up this otherwise "shoe leather" scene, where I basically needed to explain what was happening. But, thanks to...
