Writing location: 100% The Chair Navigating through a little bit of a weird narrative space right now. I feel like I’ve neglected my setting and new characters (to a certain extent) in favor of a dialogue-heavy period of plot advancement. Not that that is necessarily a bad thing. Also, I am beginning to realize how […]
Writing locations: The Chair > kitchen table > living room couch… Busy weekend on all fronts… Lost time Friday to travel. But that was an important trip. A good visit. And apparently, a productive one, as well. The weekend was most decidedly not a wash. I will admit to losing some steam (this “Act II […]
Writing location: Creighton’s kitchen… A. & C. stripped wallpaper and I jammed out nearly 2,500 words. Fair enough. Almost makes up for yesterday: Today’s Oblique Strategy: Balance the consistency principle with the inconsistency principle.

(Driving to Island Pond; no time for writing tonight, alas.)
Writing location: Uh… Were we writing? (The Chair…) …I’ve got nothing to say about tonight’s writing session. Technically? More than last night. But quality-wise? Utter shit. Today’s Oblique Strategy: Ask your body. Today’s Word Count: 35,842 of 50,000 (71.66%)
Writing location: The Chair… Halfway through the month and yet more than two-thirds of the way through to the written goal. I have a feeling that hitting 50k won’t be a problem. We’ll see about John’s 60,000 word challenge though… Brevity has seldom been my problem when it comes to the written word. That said, […]
Writing location: just The Chair… I’m cutting myself off tonight. I’m right on the cusp of the second “major” event of the story and the culmination of what I’m thinking of (in my head) as “Act II” — but that’s just it. The words aren’t there for that scene. Not tonight. Not that we had […]
Writing location: The Chair, the couch (mostly the couch) …over 31k already? I am certainly on a roll. Maybe it was John’s challenge. 60,000 words in 30 days? Hmm… Consider the challenge accepted. It’s on. Who knows? At my pace, I might actually manage to do just that. Seriously, my current estimates have me breaking […]
Writing locations: kitchen table > the couch > the chair… (another all home affair) Note to self: am I doing this narrative in present tense or past tense? Does it matter at this point? And anyway, what sounds better anyway? Today’s Oblique Strategy: I know it’s too much, but is it enough? Today’s Word Count: […]
Writing locations: Kitchen table; in bed (my side) > The Chair Got a late start to the day. Then a lot of errands early on. And now a few more before our evening gets under way. Lucky to fit in the 1,548 that I did. Today’s Oblique Strategy: Change instrumental roles. Today’s Word Count: 26,967 […]
