Back to the OHIO words: 755 today,
During the worst of the site rebuild, when we were trying and failing to get writers into their classes, I didn’t get any fiction written. That was a rough few days. But we have everyone in, we now have a way to add their classes, and we’re close to opening the classes to new students.…

Writing THE END on Ohio 5
I was rolling along on Chapter 9 this morning. The word were flowing, flew — 1106 words, 22,677 total — and a really brutal surprise — and it was all falling together perfectly. Except that I discovered I was writing the actual end of the novel. So I dragged Chapter 9 down to Chapter 30, and…

Got my words first thing. 976 for the day, 20,974 total — and the train jumped back on the track.
The book smacked me in the head. Said, “Yo, dumbass… you’re still going exactly where you thought you were going when you had that great revelation, and THIS is how you’re going to get there.” Said it in that snarky know-it-all voice that made me want to punch it, too. But it was right. And…

Doing a Line-for-Scene re-plot of Book 5 from Chapter 7 to Chapter 30
I got 281 words, and am up to 18,423 total, and was rolling along pretty nicely. Hit the end of Chapter 5, rolled over to Chapter 5, and found stuff written clear through Chapter 8 that I’ll either have to save or delete. But I also discovered that the book I’ve been writing since the…

In spite of a bunch of HWC website stuff, 649 words on Ohio 5, 14.300 total
Short and sweet, I got words. I did it while working around website issues with the forum and the classrooms over on HollysWritingClasses.com, where we’re still getting things set up. Had to stop now, because I have to pay full attention to the website while I have folks who are working on it and who…

OHIO 5: Small words, but yesterday’s revelation continues to spawn big things
I got 272 words and now have 12,393. And what I got built on big, scary things that I discovered yesterday, and gave me a nice new segment of the same scene. I’ll be glad when I can spend more time on Ohio 5, but we’re in the last stages of replacing the old HollysWritingClasses.com…
