I’m at the end of Day Two of World Con, trying (and failing) to come up with any coherent thoughts that would express, even minimally, how productive these two days have been. Productive and exhausting, both mentally and physically.
My right hand, for instance, has one hell of a cramp. I haven’t taken so [...]

Making Real Progress
Taking a small break to crow a bit, as all the preparatory work that I’d written long hand is finally, fantastically entered into Scrivener and with the help of Pages has also been printed into a to-go file for when I’m writing away from home. Even got all nerdy for way too long and [...]

What To Do? What To Do?
Very productive day this morning at work. I managed some 450 words on the latest short-short, getting about half-way through. I got into a good groove, easily making my words and leaving me peppy all day. I’ve just killed one of the characters and I’m about to make the bridge between the [...]

Doing Foolish Things
I’m doing something I may regret.
I’ve taken precautions. I took a Snapshot in Scrivener earlier today and now I’m ripping my chapter separators right out. Most the first chapters are staying together, but a lot of the later ones are getting sliced up. It’s been something I’ve been meaning to do for a couple of [...]
