I just talked about this topic over on the Underground Writers blog, but I’m going to go over it in more detail here. (’Cause I wanna.)
So it’s the end of my first two weeks on the new schedule, the one with me working 11:30 am to 8:00 pm and setting the mornings aside for [...]

Two Week Review

Final Phases
I am sipping ginger-peach tea, wearing pajamas, and discussing favored styles of gun-based gameplay while Todd explores the first areas of Borderlands for the Xbox 360. The fussy dog is remembering that she actually likes her kibble and the cat is being cattish, waiting for an opportunity to sneak-snuggle. Which is about all [...]

Progress on the Non-Scene
It’s coming along nicely.
Granted, it’s weighing in at over 2,800 words — all of which cannot be in the book. It’s amusing mostly, only a little annoying. But I’m not really surprised. I’m writing from the point of view of the “villain”, not that he sees himself as that, and it’s in [...]

Friendly Math; New Problems
In lounge wear at the moment, on my first morning of the new schedule. I should be upstairs in my office, clicking away at the keyboard on Chapter 30 (which I did, incidentally, phase outline last night). But I’m cheating. Slightly. It’s Canadian Thanksgiving today, and for most folks, it’s a [...]

Recovering After Risotto
In which I describe the last three days.
And plan the fourth.
Thursday
The writing meeting that night was small, only the three of us, but for me productive. Once all my victuals had been consumed, I slipped on the head phones and got down to business, cranking out over 1,400 words and finishing off the chapter. [...]

Playing with Numbers
Things are about to get interesting.
At least, for me personally. (I don’t doubt it will be as boring as cleaning out your tea-maker to read, but hey!)
I am a day short of doing a nine-day stretch on the phones and a shift change. After several of us affected pointed out that nine days [...]

A Drop In The Bucket, Or Box.
After this morning’s brouhaha with Dropbox, it appears to be working smoothly now. I added another scene today to the novel, some 1,028 words, and Dropbox was happily updating in the background. This is good. My only wish now is that I could figure out some way of moving the location of [...]

New Blogging Venture
Spent the evening after dinner going through my collection of saved RSS feed articles of interest. I’m supposed to be keeping up on these so that they don’t build up into hour-long chores but I’m having the same amount of success with that venture as I am with the other self-appointed tasks that I try [...]

That One Thing
Finally! After working on the manuscript build, typing in all those notes and starting to plan out the new, unwritten sections, I found something I’ve misplaced for months now. And I can’t even describe it. Sitting here, trying to think of the right metaphor and finding everything that my mind offers up [...]
