So on… Monday? Was probably Monday. I finished the current draft of book two of Path. Which is brilliant because I have been so close for like two weeks, I kept making progress only to have the finish line move. Something would happen and I would have to rewrite something or there would be a […]

I made words! I made so many words! I am awesome. Those scenes? You know, the last ones for TRTH that I hadn’t finished? There are now five of them. No, wait, this is a good thing. Because they’re almost finished! All I need to do is frame them and drop them in the narrative. […]

I wrote two and a half chapters on Thursday!* Well, edited two and half chapters technically. I’m never quite sure how much damage I have to do to a scene before I can say I was really writing not editing… And to be fair, I had done a lot of the heavy lifting already. This […]

There’s only… two scenes left from the first half of TRTH that I have to write. Well, write is not quite accurate. I have to bracket them in from chunks of crap to turn them into actual scenes. A few weeks ago I wrote all the scenes that were still outstanding from the first half in […]

There’s something amazingly cathartic about a final draft. It’s horrible and brilliant at the same time. Because it’s the end. It’s your last chance. So there’s no more avoiding things. There’s no more thinking, ‘well I’ll deal with that later’. That awkward piece of prose? That hiccup in the conversation? That transition that makes you […]

I’ve started to make progress on the second Path book (TRTH) lately. Finally. Honestly, it’s been so close to being finished for so long that it’s a bit embarrassing it’s not done yet. The problem is that I decided to work through this draft in order. Which is really not the way I have ever […]

Wuffie: How’s the wordsmithery coming along? Me: This morning…? A work in progress. As in, I am progressing toward consciousness. I just grabbed a glass from beside the sink so I could take my tablet. I thought it was my juice glass, but I’m pretty sure that was liquor. I am finding that being sick […]

There are some words where the addition or subtraction of the letter ’s’ makes no difference whatsoever to the meaning, or validity of spelling but makes you look like a right goof if you do it inconsistently. There are way more differences between AUS/UK and US English spelling than you would give credit for. And […]

Rick: Having fun? Me: Er. Define ‘fun’. Writing is fun, yes? And banging my head against the wall seems to be an integral part of writing. Q.E.D. It’s not that the ceiling of my living room is fascinating. It’s not. It isn’t even among the top five most interesting ceilings I’ve had. There are no […]

I am having a problem with sucking. Much sucking today. And yesterday. Yesterday was awful. I wrote some things but I’m pretty sure they were dreadful. I don’t really want to look at them, I’m afraid I’ll be ashamed of myself. Editing never works when I’m in this mood because everything I’ve ever written seems […]
