Writing location: my new big chair in the living room

Put in a pretty full (if sporadic) day of writing. Already up to 24.11% of the 50,000 word mark as of this writing here.

Moving right along on the story now. Got most of Act One’s cast introduced and have made myself pretty comfortable with the setting any my narrator.

Also: for a change, I’ve given myself a pretty fallible narrator/protagonist. There’s plenty not to like about him. And just as much to like. But for a change there’s nothing really paradigmatic about him.

It seems like a pretty dumb thing to say but this project has me feeling like I have all the liberties in the world to take all the risks that I’ve never really felt comfortable taking before. Let’s hope it holds. And hope beyond 30-Nov as well that this gets a chance for shelves out there.

Today’s Word Count: 12,055 of 50,000 (24.11%)

currently playing: fleep… “Three By Four” mix

Writing locations: Kitchen table (morning, home); living room (evening, home)

Oddly enough: most of today’s words were written this morning at the kitchen table during the hour or so that I waited for the delivery guys to show up. Meanwhile I spent hours this evening in my new birthday chair without terribly much to show for it. Those are the brakes though, I suppose. Just … got … stuck … in process?

Hard to say. Staying positive but there’s this weird moment tonight where I got myself almost too caught up in the gritty of “what next” realism-wise that I didn’t let myself give way to “what next” plot-wise. Worked out OK for the night’s word count though:

More visualization here, as well.

“Search Term Haiku” is a series wherein I examine this site’s log files and construct one or more haiku poems from search terms and phrases that led visitors to the site. Where possible, I attempt to keep the search phrases intact. However, as these are haiku poems, I do need to follow the rules.
