Writing location: Alas? Just The Chair? I have broken 50% tonight. I semi-officially have fewer words left to write toward the month’s goal than I have written already. Cause for slacking? Hell no! I came close to not writing at all tonight. Other things, other things… Long week. Exhaustion. All the excuse. But then I […]
Writing location: Once again, just The Chair… Tonight we’re up to 24,078 words. “Thanks” to all the other NaNos out there for their support. I’ve gotten tons of traffic here, through my profile there, and from my Flickr stream. (Stoli is getting a lot of action from this occasion, too…) I guess I didn’t realize […]
Writing location: Tonight? Just The Chair… Broke 20,000. And then kept going. Because I could. Because it was there. Five days ahead of pace now. (Is it a race? The NaNoWriMo boards tell me there’s some kind of word war going between Vermont and New Hampshire.) As promised (did I make a promise about this?) […]
Writing locations: Living room > Dining Room > Living Room > Fletcher Free Library > Living Room Main lesson learned today? Just push through the tedious parts. Let December be about editing and polishing and making it sound right. Oh, and if you don’t care about your characters’ walk to the park, your reader won’t […]
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 […]
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 […]
Writing locations: Kitchen table (morning, home); living room (evening, home) For some reason, not as easy tonight. But some solid material. Really starting to get a feel for “my Joshua”. Still feeling really good about the project. 5,909 words as of 22:11 on night #2? Good pace.
A windsurfing, CSS-grudging, IE7-hating, web-developing, gigantic-machine-puzzling friend joins the blogging fray HiveLogic has a new Mac Pro: and wants you (me? us?) to name it Pete is rocking DC’s house party scene and Ben has the picture to prove it (don’t let the over-exposure fool you, this photo was NOT taken in 1977) I’ve made […]
In ’04 my excuse was… Well, I didn’t have one. Last year I was in the midst of a “serious” project. (And, honestly, I still am…) But this year I have decided to do it. November is National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) and (as declared elsewhere) I have signed up. I’ve decided that this is […]
NaNoWriMo National Novel Writing Month: 30 days for 50,000 words… (No plot? No problem!) (tags: writing literature personal todo) Chet and the Devil I used to work (briefly) with Justin. He shared the alien BBQ with me when it was in progress. I’ll never forget these… (tags: Burlington Vermont comic art) Retrievr search by sketch […]
