In Shadows

I did it!! 62,897 words in 61 days! YAY ME! And that was with a total of six days where I didn't write at all. So, the potential was 68 or 69k! (Personally, I like 69. Maybe that'll be my goal next time, huh? LOL!) Never thought I could do it when I started the [...]

What up? Just got home from work. Slow week. I think I might have hit thirteen hours, max. Thank the gods for PTO and holiday pay! Writing. As mentioned before, I couldn’t hold back. I tried to last until my official start date of June 1st. Nope. Not gonna happen. Wasn’t prudent at this juncture. [...]

I'm now officially 1k into Angels Deserve to Die. LOL! I've given one of the counselors a new name – Bethany has become Bertrana Nijmege. Considering the age of these people, I didn't want to go with the classical medieval British thang. Bentoncourt and Cassadie are Brits (well, from that area a thousand years ago,) [...]

I’ve been away from Born of Silence for less then a week. Granted, I’m hip deep in characters and outlines for the sequel, so I guess I’m not quite as far removed. I think Angels Deserve to Die will be just as good as the first. I can’t get it out of my head. I’ve [...]

Got half the network up and running. Anna's computer (PC) is a buso and will not restart. The goal was to drop the second phone line and her internet account by gettng her onto our network and my DSL account. Out of sheer frustration with the piece of shit, I've had a conniption fit. Took [...]

I just had to say that. I've written more since January than ever before in the same amount of time. I'm more focused. My writing has apparently gone leaps and bounds above my usual standards. I'm actually hot to write a sequel to a book I just finished instead of sick and tired of the [...]

What have I been doing since I finished Born of Silence? Well, still writing 1k a day, of course. I’ve been working on the characters for the series, beefing up what I hadn’t before and creating anew for book two. Today I gave a name to Elisibet’s chief spy as well as a history and [...]

. . . when you're a lesbian romance / erotica writer . . . I am the Ideal Lover Most people have dreams in their youth that get shattered or worn down with age. They find themselves disappointed by people, events, reality, which cannot match their youthful ideals. Ideal Lovers thrive on people’s broken dreams [...]

IS DONE!!!!!!!!!! *blissful sigh*

. . . for today – 1553 words. Not my personal best but close. I’m expecting Born of Silence to be completed tomorrow. Maybe. Depends on whether or not I decide to cut that last scene short. Most of it is setting up the next book. I think I’ll need to have all three books [...]

So, I've finished New Material / Novel – Apprentice Level for 4 chapters of 1000+ words, New Material / Novel – Master Level for 8 chapters of 1000+ words, and World Building / Master Level at 8000+ words. Still have the World Building / Journeyman Level and the overall word count to go. Born of [...]

Waking Up Beside You recorded by Stabbing Westward I've been so alone for so long Forgotten by the world Forgotten to myself Your effervescent eyes have awakened me And brushed the dust away But I knew you'd never stay So I memorized the color of your eyes as I lost myself inside you And I [...]

1514 words! Woot! And another chapter finished!

. . . why I haven't written much today. The scene required quite a bit of rearranging and the inclusion of a new thing. Didja know that in Sanguire culture there are Humans who are referred to as Vessels? Yup. They're the walking blood donors for the Sanguire feeding. I had no idea! Anyhoo, Jenna's [...]

I find myself loath to write. I know it's required but here it is, 11:40am and I haven't even begun my daily session. Usually, I'd be finished with my 1k words for the day. Since it's my day off, I'd then do chores, errands, and the like before heading off to Coffee People to see [...]
