WARPAINT IS DONE!!! #wabwm
I woke up around four-ish this morning knowing the RIGHT ending, which was significantly better than the ending I had. Got up, wrote, rewrote, and now at 7:18 AM, WARPAINT IS DONE. With the right ending. I still have to have my editor read it, I still have to make changes, I still have to…

Today COULD be the end of type-in on WARPAINT #WABWM
Was up until 5:30 AM, so starting kind of late this morning. 11:21 AM On page 323 of the manuscript, with 394 the final page, and about 20 handwritten pages that I know of yet to type in. No idea how quickly this will go, but I could conceivably wrap the type-in today. Write exuberantly,…

Have a point. MAKE the point. Move on. (WARPAINT) #WABWM
AAAAAAARRRRRRRGH! I thought I had one particular scene right on the FOURTH complete rewrite. Woke up this morning, realized I’d missed it again. Paced, worked on spaceship design and content, paced, took a shower, paced, and figured out that I keep missing the damn scene because I keep getting sidetracked by nonessentials. The scene has…

At last! The tunnel light ISN’T a train! #WABWM
Business stuff this morning (the 15th is always like that). Am starting words with a run-through of the 1250 brand new words I added yesterday. Those are sure to be buggy. But I’m now on page 200, and I only have one more multi-page write-in, and that’s at the end of the book. I’m now…

As much hill ahead as behind on WARPAINT #WABWM
Have paid bills. Have cleaned out topic list. Started out the morning with an awful headache, but Tylenol and aspirin have kicked in so I’m ready. Am on page 164 of the manuscript, with a whole lotta steep hill ahead of me today. Objective? As much as I can manage. Download as PDFPrint Page

WARPAINT type-in: Remembering “slow” is relative #WABWM
9:05 AM Have been working since 7:30 AM. Had to do student support first. Yesterday I cleared over 10,000 words of the type-in (two chapters) including adding 3693 new words to the story. Most of those new words were NOT in the type-in. The story is getting better and tighter as I do this—but again,…

WARPAINT type-in is going slo-o-o-o-o-owly #WABWM
7:32 AM So. Worked the weekend. Got two—count ’em—two chapters of the book typed in, and that was working hard. I have unholy amounts of hand-written text through about page 270 (out of 394) so it’s entirely possible that one chapter a day is going to be my type-in pace for about the next 6-8…

Looking for big WARPAINT numbers today #WABWM
9:58 AM Was up until about 3 AM working on “related stuff” for the WARPAINT launch. Back in the seat this morning, going to see how much of the type-in I can get through. I’m still in the middle section where I essentially threw out one out of every two pages, and wrote one or…
