Friday Write-Day: Crunch Month Continues

Revising The Warden of Everfeld: Memento has changed the way I think about stories.

During my discovery/first draft process, I mainly thought of world-building in terms of how it affected my direct story. Continue reading “Friday Write-Day: Crunch Month Continues”

In case you haven’t noticed, progress on Manuscript: Beta has been slow for the last few weeks. This has been due to a number of factors, some of which are my fault. Continue reading “Friday Write-Day: March is Writing Crunch Month!”

Friday Write Day: Revisions Phase 2

I did not come into Manuscript: Beta intending to rewrite entire sections, entire chapters, or even entire characters. I thought it would simply be a matter of using the foundation I had with Manuscript: Alpha to write a more polished story. Continue reading “Friday Write Day: Revisions Phase 2”

Miracles: New Endeavors for the New Year

Howdy all,

I nearly forgot it was Friday. I suppose that’s what the holidays do to you.

Writing was slow once again, despite my time off from work earlier in the week — 3,600 for the week and 24,800 overall. But my weekly total is low mostly because I’ve been… distracted by other priorities the past two nights. Continue reading “Friday Write-Day: Busy with Business”
