  • How It’s All Going

    I guess I ought to clarify the whole business with C. Robin likes it quite well as a future submission to Knopf. She doesn’t like it at all as a current submission to Onyx. It’s simply the wrong sort of book, but I knew that as I was writing it. I will definitely keep working…

  • Done. And Hawkspar Has A Revelation

    Finished with 125,054 words for the day. Very happy with that. And Hawkspar (my female MC) had a revelation as she was slashing her way through guys on the other side of the fight. It came as a revelation to me while I was writing the story. Stopped me cold for a moment after I…

  • The Breathtaking Beauty of Persistence

    This is my 500th regular entry in Silent Bounce since Sept. 9th, 2004, which leads me to the realization that I’m damn chatty. Nonetheless, this is a good one. (And would have been posted far earlier, had not my ISP decided that today was a good day to go tits up.) I still feel wretched,…

  • And Done For the Day

    Sitting up isn’t working out too well. I’d better be over this by tomorrow.

  • Back

    Still feel like crap … however, I’m going to go sit in Word Wars at FMWriters.com’s chat and run back-to-back tens and post numbers, and hope that will get me through today.

  • Hopeless

    Got some of the proposal done, but nothing on HAWKSPAR. Going to have to go to bed. Either call this one of my last two re-think days, or see if I can get the 3000 words later.

  • Happy Chinese New Year

    Woke up at 1:45 AM feeling like a cross between the buzzard’s breakfast and a bag of hammered rat turds, but writers on deadline don’t get sick days. Sleep-in-late days, yeah. But you don’t get to go back to bed until the words are done anyway, so the workday is what it is, and looking…

  • 900, and The Wrist Went”Click”

    Got a lot done, but I’m also done with typing for the day. My left wrist did something funky, and now it hurts. I’m going to go read a bunch of TALYN proofs, and put my feet up, and at some point take a nap. 4603 total words for the day.

  • 100,110! HA!

    Damned good runs in Word Wars. Got my first goal, and ran with some fine folks who also hit some big word counts. Setting up my new proposal document, and then I’m going back for more. Closing count: 100,110.

  • Oh, Yes — The Other Part of My Day

    Along with wanting to do 2727 more words on HAWKSPAR today, I also want to write that new proposal for Claire, and read at least a hundred pages of the TALYN proofs. So I’m going to be in FM chat, but sitting in the Word Wars room doing perpetual ten-minute sprints. If you’re in the…
