Yes, I’m talking about two different things. First, plotting murder. It’s a lot more complicated than I thought it would be. INTO THE DARK’s bad guy is a stalker, and the murder he commits was fairly straightforward. But the antagonist in THE PROPHET is all sorts of angry, and there are a total a four murders … Read the rest →
Happy Hump Day, everyone! Things are going well here. I managed to get back into working on The Prophet and have written 2300 words this week. The Row80 sprints at 1 central are a big help for me to focus–thank you guys for your encouragement. Yesterday I also did some revisions in the plot, because … Read the rest →
I don’t have much in the way of an update. I’ve been limping along since I returned from the funeral. Sometimes it’s hard for me to get back into the groove of things, but I’ll manage. I have been working on THE PROPHET here and there, ironing out some more minor plot issues I’ve found. … Read the rest →
Today’s check in is another short and sweet one. Most of you know my brother passed on Thursday, and it was a relief to everyone watching him suffer. Because I’ll be traveling for the services, I won’t be blogging this week. I did manage to write almost 1800 words on The Prophet and work out … Read the rest →
I’m down at my parents for my mom’s 70th birthday, so this update will be short and sweet. Goals for this week: to finish editing act one of THE PROPHET and write 2000 words. Accomplished. I wrote just over 2600 words, so I’m feeling pretty good. The problems my critique partner found with act one … Read the rest →
This week has started off slower than I’d hoped, but I do have a legitimate excuse. I’ve had two toddlers the past couple of days, and my own daughter was off school on Monday, so it was tough to write amid the chaos. Thanks to my critique partner, Catie Rhodes, I did manage to get … Read the rest →
It dawned on me the other day that in my early January haze of sickness, I hadn’t actually posted my goals for this round. So, here they are: Write 2000/week on THE PROPHET Continue to query INTO THE DARK Implement Dark’s theme of stalking into Thriller Thursdays Exercise minimum of 20 minutes/day Comment on at … Read the rest →
My goals for this week were pretty straight forward: write tomorrow’s Thriller Thursday post and complete the first act of The Prophet. I’m happy to say that so far I’m on point–yesterday I wrote 2000 words, the most I’ve written in one sitting in quite a while. I have two scenes left in Act 1, … Read the rest →
One week in, and I’m happy to report I’m feeling great. What’s more, I had a good second half of the week. I spent two days deep editing INTO THE DARK, utilizing some advice given to me from some great friends and critique partners (Catie Rhodes, Donna Galanti, Amy Lichtenhan, and J. Thomas Ross), as … Read the rest →
Unfortunately I have zero progress to report on the Row80 front, but I’m excited to say that today is the first day I felt somewhat human. Apparently having a combination of erysipelas and folliculitis is pretty exhausting, but for the first time in eight days, I actually feel like doing something. So I’m celebrating:) I intend … Read the rest →
