Re: I Wrote Today!


Today I wrote 419 words on my story.

"Samantha was frustrated by her conversation with the Master Chief. He had given her a word, “Piccata,” and told her she should date three boys before talking to him again about it."

Master Chief Terence O’Keeffe is 132 years old and has been in the service for over a century. Bonus points to anyone who can guess the meaning behind the Master Chief's acronym. emoticon

Re: I Wrote Today!


Today I wrote 619 words on my story!

quote:

Angeni stopped and turned around. “Vivian, when was the last time you brought up a set of problems without having ideas on how to solve them?”

Vivian grinned, “Over ten years ago. Specifically 16:30 hours, June 12, 2362AD Ma’am. I had scheduled dates with my family, my boyfriend, and a graduation exercise to receive my Master’s degree at the same time in two different cities.”



My average daily productivity for October is now at 385.1 words per day.

Re: I Wrote Today!


Darn it! I was in a groove this morning (adding 178 words to my story) then I get a phone call and have to go into the office. Hopefully, I can take care of things quickly but darn it all I wanted to stay home and write in my book on my "day off."

Tonight I managed another 140 words in my story and activated the "Willow-Kraken" automated fuel depot.

Total word output for the day: 318

Re: I Wrote Today!


The two main components of the fuel depot were made possible by using the remains of two "Command Pods."

Now I have spent the past hour crying through the setup for the dedication "Final Watch/Call" services. I don't know how Samantha is going to do it, but I added 193 words to my story while both she and I get ready.

Tonight I finished the "final call" for my character and added another 189 words to my story.

Total word count for today: 382

*hugs* Is Samantha going to be in command of the colony?

If you're crying, it's quite possible your readers will cry, as well. It's a good thing.

Re: I Wrote Today!


Samantha is a candidate. I know she is going to have command of Java's space flight services but the colony structure is still evolving.

I added 89 words to the story before heading off to work this morning. Closing scenes for my book are HARD! Does it get easier?

I added another 441 words in my story tonight. Samantha just promised Walter all the sex he could handle for the next ten years if he marries her! That isn't as crass as it sounds. For the colony to work each family has to commit to having at least five children and two of those children must be conceived from either artificial insemination or gestational surrogacy to maximize the colonies genetic diversity.

Ah, I wondered about genetic viability...

Yes, it is hard to say good bye to characters. I can't promise it'll get easier.

Funny you mention that. William and Samantha are "discussing" that right now. Samantha is determined to proceed, William is hesitant on what will be required.

I added 201 words to the story before running off to work today.

Tonight I added another 451 words to my story! Stephan has just discovered the second alien artifact (but he doesn't know that yet).

I edited another paragraph this morning. The edit allowed me to split a rather large section into two paragraphs. Much easier to read. emoticon

Tonight I added another 305 words to the story before going to bed.

Woot!

It's great you're experimenting with editing. Consider paragraphs like "breathing points" in your story. They are very helpful to structure the progress and the "beats" of a narrative. Watch this the next time you read a story.

You're doing great! emoticon emoticon emoticon

This mornings editing session went well until I reached the point in the story where James talks about himself. I noodled over that for a little bit before taking care of today's business.

Tonight I added another 359 words to my story, crash landing Ulysses and Derrick in the ‘Namaunakeo Mountains’ before calling it a day.
