Right! After two weeks of agony, I achieved my one and only goal from last week and finally got my head fixed. How about that writing, then? Blech. I’m going through a rough patch with Esthree Postbuild. Over the last few months, I’ve really discovered who the villain is. His goals and conflicts are all…
OUCH
Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy. Remember last week? I had some surgery mid-week, and I’ve been on enough sedatives to utterly lose track of time. Also, my head hurts. Well, it turns out that the reason why my head was hurting so much was because the surgery wasn’t entirely successful. I won’t go into…
Ouch
I don’t have a writing update today. I had some surgery mid-week, and I’ve been on enough sedatives to utterly lose track of time. Also, my head hurts.
April 2018 writing retrospective and goals for May
I just realised that this is the final week of April! Time to take stock… April retrospective I set myself two goals last month: April Goal #1: Sci-Fi London 48-Hour Flash Fiction Challenge This is a hard fail, for reasons I already shared. I’m gutted, but there’s always next year. And if you know of…
This week, I have been mostly… thinking
I didn’t get any word count out this week. I’ve made plenty of notes, sure, but they’re spread across papers and apps where they don’t add towards the “official” count. It’s been a week of thinking. Lack of progress I’m not going to be one of those folks who wants to be an author but…
Flash Fiction Challenge: FAIL; Health Challenge: FAIL
I know, I know. I was supposed to post an update last week, right after I submitted my Sci-Fi London 48-Hour Flash Fiction Challenge story. I’m gutted to say: I didn’t finish my story. And then I got so humongously sick, I didn’t do anything for a week. What happened to the Sci-Fi London 48-Hour…
Don’t tell anyone, but I think this outlining is going pretty well
Last week, I set myself this goal: Right now, I’m about half-way through the first act. It would be nice to have that act done by the end of the week. And — by some measures — I hit it! And I’m at 7,488 words! Here’s the thing: there are three characters I need to…
March 2018 writing retrospective and goals for April
It’s the last day of March, so let’s take stock of where I’m at! March retrospective Hiatus Ah… yeah, right. Not a whole lot got done in March. But I don’t think I regret it. I came back feeling stronger, better-prepared, and creatively wealthier. Let’s just not make a habit of dropping out, okay? New…
I’m back from hiatus, and trying to work it all out
Four weeks ago, I put the blog on hiatus while I figured some shit out. Rather than spend the next four weeks finding ways to rephrase “I haven’t worked on the story because I’m still finding time to think”, I’m gonna sign off and see you on 25th March. Well, it’s 25th March — and…
Hiatus
I’m taking a four-week hiatus from the blog.
Still brainstorming…
I’m really starting to miss writing.
