Today, a blast from the past who yesterday showed up for this party uninvited today became a major part of the story. Tangerine was a one-scene character in Hunting the Corrigan’s Blood. He was in that story to change Cady’s appearance when she was in trouble but did not yet know exactly how much trouble she was in. The rule of … Continue reading →
I got 2014 words today on The Wishbone Conspiracy, and sent Cady home — back to Cantata, back to Oldcity… And someone showed up whom I was not expecting to see for several more books. Tangerine, the bodyartist from Tangerine’s Dream back in Book One. I knew when I met Tangerine that he was a lot more than he was letting on, … Continue reading →
Fun, fun writing day today. I ran for about two hours, and got 2176 words, a really cool twist I didn’t expect, a second twist that I did, and put Cady, Tarko, and Storm Rat in the eye of not one but TWO coming storms. Herog is off doing other stuff in this novel, so is missing the fun — … Continue reading →
I got started late this morning. Every once in a while I have a night where I can’t sleep. I went to bed around midnight, woke up at two-thirty, and couldn’t get back to sleep until seven AM. So I wasn’t back up and at work until ten AM. And I feel a bit fried. But I set my timer, … Continue reading →
The themes of The Wishbone Conspiracy are getting clearer for me, and I did a pretty major rip-apart of the playlist I’m using to stay focused on the novel during my two days a week, and to get myself into that place every time I write. I might have too many songs in the list. For some books, I’ve looped just … Continue reading →
Becky did a gorgeous job. The book with the new cover is already showing up in a couple places, but I’ll do a check and links tomorrow, along with the cover reveal. This is just because it took me all day to get the book done and published. … Continue reading →
I got 2056 words today on The Wishbone Conspiracy. Finished Chapter 2, and now am 586 words into Chapter 3. I did this in about an hour and a half writing time — eight ten-minute timers and part of a ninth. The story flowed, the characters did interesting things. And I discovered that my mystery character from the Cadence Drake mailing … Continue reading →
Wrote for right at two hours today. Got on a roll, did not want to quit. Got 2269 words on The Wishbone Conspiracy. Cady has a new job and a new client, and in what has to be a very bad sign, both Storm Rat and Tarko have volunteered to go along with her on this job for her client … Continue reading →
Got a good chunk of the novel note-carded with my current best ideas on how it will go, and wrote a big chunk of words of background and outlining, plus 1151 words of the actual story. And I like what I got. This being Saturday, I’m not supposed to be writing fiction. Saturday and Sunday are BOTH supposed to be … Continue reading →
I woke up at around five-ish this morning knowing the next chapter of The Wishbone Conspiracy, my next Cady Drake novel. And thought about it for a while, and decided that I would write it once I got up and got showered. And am sitting down to do that. But on my way to getting there, I just found ANOTHER incomplete … Continue reading →
