Hurrah!! Congrats on the word spurt and the new 1k!

Love that your characters are devious! emoticon emoticon emoticon

My German novel is on Amazon as print. I ordered a copy this morning, and will get it on Saturday. If it looks good, I'll start marketing it.

Re: I Wrote Today!


I woke up late and almost missed writing this morning. I did manage to add 34 words to the story before going to work. Unlike other days when I didn't know how to proceed and was struggling to find my way, today is the opposite. I know where the story is going, I just have to get the time to write it. emoticon

Tonight I wrote another 101 words on the story for a daily output of 135 words.

TABA word count total thus far: 77,813

I got unstuck in my "Dragon Prey" story, thanks to a friend asking a few devious questions. emoticon

I wrote a little.

"Sidren bit her lip. She had known Wrenglan for his entire life, she'd see him grow from a toddler into a handsome young man, and she knew she would watch him die."

I made a mistake in my writing yesterday and didn't catch it until about five minutes ago. So, I went ahead and fixed the error and added a tiny bit (63 words) to clarify the scene before starting my laundry today.

I added another 58 words before storms shut me down today.

Total word count for today: 121

And that's the perfect little editing trick while still writing the story. Well done!

I hope those storms weren't too bad...

I fixed the typo on my book cover and re-uploaded it. *sigh*

And I wrote some more for "Dragon Prey" (421 words), and I'm clear on the next scene. More heartache for poor Sidren.

Re: I Wrote Today!


This morning I added another 105 words to the story before running off to work.

Tonight one of my characters blew her gasket! I had written about 400 words before I realized this was a rant and parred the scene down to just 128 words.

Total output for the day: 233 words

Glad you wrote a rant! And yay for 233 new words. emoticon

I'm very slowly adding to "Dragon Prey". And I lay awake for an hour last night, exploring a new story idea. The setting and premise is fascinating, but I have no clear idea of what the possible hero will do.

Re: I Wrote Today!


The rant turned out to be the end of a chapter. I am moving into an area where the "ring-leader" gets caught, and people are dismissed back into duty from the hospital habitat.

This morning I tried to describe the general area where the "bad guys" initiate their plans and added 78 words to the story.

I uploaded yet another version of the Konrad cover. *sigh*

Wrote a few paragraphs in "Dragon Prey" and wrote down a story idea that still needs to grow more before it's viable.

Re: I Wrote Today!


This scene in my novel was difficult to write. Having lost loved ones of my own, I empathize with the pain and loss the character is experiencing. I was initially ecstatic about reaching this point on my day off, but my dog got loose and went missing until about 45 minutes ago. My room mate, my brother, and I have done nothing but look for my dog for the past 8 hours. Thankfully, Gypsy turned up unharmed, but I only added 98 words to my story today.

Good luck for that scene.

I wrote a little more for "Dragon Prey" setting up my MC for catastrophy. And I finally approved the cover for Konrad - the latest upload finally worked the way I wanted it. Much learned in the process.

I couldn't do it. Darrel deserves something better, so I gave it to him. He still finds something he wasn't looking for, and a fight is about to start with him trying to get away from the bad guy. I think Penny's final gift to Darrel will be what saves his life. I added 165 words to my novel this morning and get to start the fight scene tonight (I hope).

Tonight I added another 100 words to my story. The conflict begins.

Total words today: 265

Re: I Wrote Today!


I wrote 121 words on my novel and then got side-tracked on where the Capital of the PLS was! Three hours of looking and I still cannot make up my mind, but I have narrowed the contending locations down from over 100 to 3.

1. Johnston Atoll
2. Hashima Island
3. Kerguelen Islands

I forgot to congratulate you for the next 1k! And now, 80k isn't far away anymore. emoticon

So what did you decide?

In my story, the "firebeast" is displaying unusual interest in my MC.

Re: I Wrote Today!


One of the criteria points for the Capital city was dependence on others for its existence. The location also had to be an area currently unoccupied and some place the controlling Nation State had no interest in keeping. The Kerguelen Islands would have been perfect, but then I saw some articles where the USA had considered selling the Johnston Atoll, and I decided that had to be the place. emoticon

I spent most of the day designing the Capital city (which doesn't get used but one time in the first book). Yes, I am thinking sequel seriously for the first time.

I did add another 94 words to my chase/fight scene today.

Fight scenes are a weak point with me. Today I wrote another 61 words to the story. Darrel is running across a stage trying to get away from Martin.

Fight scenes are tricky. I like to visualize them in slow motion, so I can see what's happening. But it takes concentration and some time alone.

Today I wrote 615 words on my novel. Darrel is in the hospital but will be okay. Lt. Ranger is checking himself out of the Hospital a week early and against the Doctor's wishes. I never dreamed I would hit the 80k mark and not have my ship in orbit around Java! The story is bigger than I thought it would be.
