Day 9: 90 Day Writing Challenge

October 27, 2013

Aaand we’re 1/10 of the way done with this thing. Today I wrote a bit (about 550 words), and also continued on my character profiling.  Slow going, but that’s what happens when you’re overly thorough and a hopeless perfectionist. Again, I have to be careful not to let profiling become something I fall into, cycling […]

Day 8: 90 Day Challenge

October 25, 2013

I have succumb to being dead today, and thus no work–LITERALLY no work–has gotten done. I tried to hang pictures earlier. I managed to, but I almost died as a result. Also, sitting up staring at the computer screen is making my head spin, so this is going to have to end soon. OK that’s […]

Day 7: 90 Day Writing Challenge

October 25, 2013

It’s been a week!  Yay! It’s also been the week that my freelance writing career has decided to blossom, which is FANTASTIC, but, you know, less book-writing time. But mostly, today’s lack of progress comes from the fact that I am feeling unwell, and so I decided to take the day off and just relax […]

Day 6: 90 Day Challenge

October 24, 2013

I GOT MY CHARACTER PROFILES DONE!! YES. They are basic, and I only got the Main Six–Lilith, Judith, Roark, Erik, Adrian, and Mason–but it’s a start and it’s a thing that’s DONE. I discovered a lot of things about my characters tonight…and I already knew them quite well!  I love the little surprises they reveal […]

Day 5: 90 Day Writing Challenge

October 22, 2013

OK, so the character profiling has begun, which is good.  But it’s not complete, which is…less good. It’s kinda hilarious that I started this whole challenge this week because I have been uncommonly busy lately.  Also, there’s the fact that I still have boxes up on boxes to unpack. A little more research got done […]

Day 4: 90 Day Writing Challenge

October 21, 2013

I need to get more creative with these titles. I also need to get more disciplined with my time, because I’ll be honest:  I basically fell off the wagon today. And the thing is, it’s happened before, but I’m not easily discouraged, so naturally I’m just going to pick myself up, dust myself off, and […]

Day 3: 90 Day Writing Challenge

October 20, 2013

You guys are going to get bored with me, because I’m still researching, but here’s why: 1. This is a research-heavy book.  There’s no way around that.  I’m writing some kind of sci-fi/dystopian madness here, and I’m a stickler for accuracy and details, so this means researching everything to death (I think I said this […]

Day 2: 90 Day Writing Challenge

October 19, 2013

Day two!  Woohoo! I skipped today’s assignment too, because I can.  Also, I needed to do more research–which I did.  It was awesome.  I got a LOT of ground covered today, and cleared up many of my questions.  Basically, today’s research laid the foundation that will allow me to actually write this damn thing over […]

A 90 Day Writing Challenge (Because Why Not?)

October 18, 2013

It’s still technically today, so this post counts. I am on the ball over here.  —— So last night, I–rather abruptly–decided that not only would I start a 90 Day Writing Challenge (aided by the very good book, 90 Days To Your Novel by Sarah Domet), but I would blog about it every day.  Because […]
