I did manage to get a chapter done, and it ran long: 3400 words and change. Mind you, that’s a bit better than I thought I’d get done, given how the day started. Of course, I had intended to write two chapters, but that plan just wasn’t going to happen, as was made apparent from […]

I didn’t get any writing done today. Last night I did not sleep well. There are times, when working on a book, that insomnia sets in. My subconscious keeps churning away on problems I don’t even realize exist yet. When you’re too tired to get up and work stuff out, and yet too awake to […]

I liked my […]

On the last day of NaNoWriMo I turned out two chapters for a total of 5200 words. This put me over 100,000 words for the month of November. I had six days in which I wrote nothing, so I did 100,000 words in 24 days I believe I have another 30,000 words I need to […]
