Day 1,489: One Hundred Thousand
So, my manuscript is 100,000 words today. Yikes. I still have quite a bit to go. I'm guessing 6-10,000 more. That I tackle tomorrow. I think. We'll see how it goes. That's the goal, anyway. I had a wonderful day today hanging out with the Ho. We went over to the...
Day 1,488: Re-charge!
You guys. I was EPICALLY lazy today. A true day off. Don't think I have had one in...man, a long time. Too long. I ate leftovers, I watched Harry Potter and I tuned in to see the Warriors trounce the scuffling Bulls by 49 points. Yes. The Warriors beat another team by...
Day 1,487: Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving America. I'm keeping this one short because I am going to sleep...but it was a wonderful day of cooking, eating, watching, reading, and hanging with good friends. More tomorrow, I promise. Good night! 🙂 Artwork tonight is from Otis Chamberlain.
Day 1,486: Ded
Ira is ded. D-E-D. Ded. He wrote all the words, there are none left. 8,000 of them today, which is a new person record. It wasn't quite enough, I'm afraid. There are still two major sequences left to write...but I can feel in my gut that these sequences work, which...
Day 1,485: Oowwwww
I don't know how I did it, but I did it: my elbow hurts. Maybe from so much writing? I did spend a bunch of time in my computer chair today, perhaps that's it. I don't know...but shit...welcome to my 30s, I guess. Blech. I have to make the entry quick tonight: I got...
Day 1,484: I’m going to save all of you
I just had a nighttime writing sesh, and it was *lit*. I might have to work writing at night into my schedule guys...or perhaps stretching out these sessions so they're not all at once all the time. I wrote most of Starstuff at night. It's just...night time is time I...
Day 1,483: So much
This second novel is so much to get ahold of sometimes. I think that's why this particular rough draft has been so..."rough." It's been so much to wrap my head around, it's hard to handle as a whole, and so I've just started combating that by, first of all, separating...
Day 1,482: Champs
I wrote today. Not as much as I wanted, but I did write 500 words. My minimum. Tomorrow, it will be closer to 1,000...which means I *will* hit my stated goal of 90,000 words by Sunday. So, after all that angst and hand-wringing...here I am, right where I want to be....
Day 1,481: Friyay!
Today was a bit helter-skelter...but it was a great day. It started with a little extra sleep - I was pretty wiped from a week of a "new" schedule with new expectations (read: I will write every day). But the day then REALLY began when I pounced on the Ho, waking up...
