“Write A Book With Me” Is Moving

by Holly Lisle on February 8, 2010 · 5 comments

in Books, ON SPEC, TalysMana, Write A Book With Me

First, a note. The Write A Book With Me entries are going to be going to the TalysMana weblog after this entry. If you’re playing or following Write A Book With Me, be sure to bookmark the TalysMana weblog now.

Pocket Full Of Words will be going back to the essays, commentary on writing, and other things that I previously had here which have been neglected lately.

For tonight, though…

What Kind Of Day Has It Been

Tonight, Kettan discovered exactly what went wrong in Rengarde. Her actions in the What Is had consequences she didn’t predict…but she hasn’t yet discovered why. That’s tomorrow.

Got 843 words.

If you’re playing, how are your words coming?

On the plus side, I finished the redraft of D&DI this weekend.
However, I also hit a bit of a wall. I think the problem stems from how OFL and RFW came into existence…basically because I felt I needed to be writing another project to make full use of my time, so the logic of using a young protagonist and a plot I have some familiarity with (music) gave rise to OFL, and a desire to try another couple of genres gave rise to RFW. But, I’ve got to a point with each of them where I’m not sure I care what happens anymore! But with OFL half-way through revision and RFW less than 10k from the end of first draft, it seems a shame to abandon them…

Not much. I’m trying to figure out how to end my scene now that the character who was going to die is a “good guy”–and if he even is, or if he should still die. Transferred writing files to new compy, and did a warm-up scene. Total relevant words–about 100.

I just saw this project! And it’s awesome!

I’ve got 3 books on the run that I’m working on, and I’m trying to get somewhere between 750 – 1000 words a day… I think that’s about intermediate level.

Either way, I wrote about 1200 words today… I don’t have any exact count, but I’ll start keeping track. This sounds like a great way to keep motivated.

Daily goal average 500-1200 words a writing night… we will see about tonight. Been working on a piece of fiction since November, i am a mother of 3 from 6 yrs to 17 months. After weeks of red eyes and late nights, my husband and i decided that we will try to be in bed before midnight. Of coarse this is cutting into my witting time…. “arg”, but a reseted happy mommy and wife is better than this tired and grump monster for the last couple months… LOL
