Weekly Writing Check-In: Chasing Myself in Circles

February 5, 2012
| No Comments
| Categories: 25k February, Chase Scenes, Editing, Question, weekly writing check-in, Writing

Uh, yeah. Sure. Remember how I said I was going to write 25k this month, while trying to average about 1k a day? Yeah, I’m not sure how I’m doing. I’m definitely writing every day, but I’m not keeping track of how much – and I don’t caaaare! This isn’t NaNoWriMo, this is just me…

Authors Were Meant to Troll, Dangit.

| Categories: Characters, Humor, Names, Trolling, Writing

Not what I had in mind when I searched Google, but okay! As an author, I feel it is my duty to troll my readers. Not just with the usual plot twists and “bwahaha bow to my cleverness!”, oh no, I also have to troll my readers with character names. Case in point, I have…

I can’t believe I posted this. A couple days ago I proclaimed that I was going to write another 25k in February, in a desperate attempt to get this draft I’m working on mostly written so I can get back to concentrating on editing. I still intend to do that. I just don’t think I’m…

So a common meme I see around is “Teaser Tuesday”, where you post a sentence or two (without spoilers) from the latest book you’re reading. Thought it was interesting until I noticed the “Tuesday” part. WHY YOU GOTTA PIGEONHOLE ME, BROS? I’ma post this meme on whatever day I feel like! :'( I’m actually not…

Yes, I’ve decided to start making ~weekly writing check ins~, to update the world on the current progress of my projects. If nothing else, it forces me to post every week even if I can’t think of any other appropriate topic to discuss. *ahem* That said, it’s actually been a pretty productive month! Let’s see,…

But where do I plug in my laptop. Although my lack of proper internetz in my apartment for the next month or so have stinted my ability to, you know, blog about writing and stuff, it’s done a few wonders for that whole…writing thing. This is my first official check-in for Camp, and I can…

Camp has started on my side of the pond. As it approached I felt less and less like to do it, granted my other pressing writing projects, but once midnight rolled around I decided to give the new story a spin anyway…and i ended up writing 1851 words in an hour! Now, I currently do…

One (hardy har) of the links I’ve seen floating around the writing world as of late is that of oneword.com, a prompt site that gives you “one word” and a minute to write everything you can about it.  While prompt sites are not unique in themselves at all, nor is the idea of using “one…

It’s in my dreaaaams. I’ve been having one of those months, dear readers.  You know, the kind of month where nothing is good enough and you’re convinced that you’re going to fail at everything and OH MY GOD WHY DO YOU EVEN TRY?? JEEZ.  Yeah, that’s me. Editing.  And reading.  Doing both at the same…

Yesterday I got my Nano stuff in the mail. Most of it was gifted to me, so I only had to pay for the posters. I like the one poster, it’s made of great quality, is really colorful, and has all the goals for each day on it. The other poster is a standard Night…
