  • Running at Six

    Jean had an hour before she had to go to work, so we ran before I even had my eyes all the way open. I started with 96,407, and ended with 97,273. 866 words. Figured out a serious plot problem that I then fixed, too. She got a bunch of revision pages done, I executed…

  • Last Run, and Done

    Ended with 96,407 after finishing a sentence I left unfinished in the last ten-minute chat run. 3176 words for the day. To the post office now to mail LGD. Then back to see about adding some to the proposal idea I came up with for Claire. And then some reading on TALYN, which has to…

  • Nearly Done

    In the meantime, this link provided by Michelle in chat. My sides hurt from laughing. It’s awful … but …

  • Starting on the Words

    Rolling a little late this morning, over in FMWriters.com chat getting ready to run tens. Have been reading through what I documented of my run through TALYN, which was sort of a leisurely trip compared to HAWKSPAR, though it didn’t feel like it at the time. Found some useful notes, discovered that I was at…

  • Foreshadowing

    Back when I was writing TALYN, I wrote this bit about forshadowing. I’m dealing with the same issues again for HAWKSPAR, and I found them a useful reminder. If you’re writing, you may find them helpful as well.

  • Finished with 93,230

    After all that mud, I hit a sweet spot. Gave me a great place to finish today and a great place to start tomorrow. Jean covered a huge amount of ground in her revisions. My total for the day was 4081 words. That’ll do. Now I’m printing off LGD, and getting ready to flag it…

  • Slogged Through

    Reached good ground and ran past 3000. Still running.

  • Running Through Deep Mud

    In heavy boots, too. Jean and I started early, me with an opening count of 89,149. But I’m slogging, with 90,915 words after about three hours. That’s not the sort of pace to write home about. I’m getting good conflict, too, but having trouble getting it to fit in with my POV switches. And I…

  • And Done for the Day

    Finished with 89,149. 3719 words for the day, which will certainly work. Tomorrow Jean and I are going to run again. I’ll be doing HAWKSPAR all morning. In the afternoon, I’ll start in reading the proofs of TALYN. Doing these two books in tandem should be helpful, actually, since the worldbuilding for one ties in…

  • And Done with LGD

    Edits typed in and saved on LAST GIRL DANCING. After I print it, I’ll tag the major changes and ship the hardcopy off to Claire, she’ll vett the changes, and I’ll do a final line by line correction okay in Word, and e-mail her the clean file. Biggest part is now done, though. With time…
