Productive Day

900 words today. It’s not quite 1000 but I did write two chapters of Indie Author Confidential Vol. 7, and that just happens to be where the cookie crumbled today. I also broke the 10K mark on the book, so I’ll take it. I also did my photography for my writing app...

Cutting My Quota Today

1047 words today. I’m cutting my quota from 2000 words to 1000 words for the next few days while I tie up loose ends and get ready to write the outlining book. I got Cold Hard Magic edited and out the door to my editor. Should be back in a couple of weeks. That took...

I Did It!

2776 words today. Cold Hard Magic is officially finished!!!! The novel clocked in at exactly 50,000 words, almost exactly the same as Book 1. I learned another important lesson that will be helpful to those writing into the dark. Wow, another very, very interesting...

Almost There

3100 words today. A pretty good day, but I’m not done with the novel yet. I’m so close, it’s crazy. I just have a final wrinkle to figure out and then I think I’ll be able to cruise to a finish. I’m probably 2000 or so words from the end. The novel is sitting at...

Y’All Surprised Me

2000 words today, though I’m not finished. Thanks for everyone who voted on my next Beast Mode book. That book will be…How to Write Without an Outline! Wow, y’all surprised me. At first Book 3 of my Rat Shifter series was winning, and then How to Write Without an...

Another Good Day

2223 words today. I backed off on speeding up my count because I need to get Rat City ready for my proofreader. I hit my quota and worked on the editing instead. The novel is sitting at about 42,500 words right now. I’m still not at the final battle so that’s a good...

Another Good Day

2500 words today. I have another writing session after this and I should hit close to 3000 but either way I had a good day. The novel is still cruising. I saw the glimmer today. I know roughly how this is going to end and there aren’t any major obstacles, so that’s a...

Keepin’ On Keepin’ On

3200 words. I did another 500 before bed last night which was a good feeling. The novel is sitting at 35K right now. I’m rolling along at a steady clip. I’m pleasantly surprised at the pace this is moving along. The story took a plot twist today that I didn’t expect...

Another Writing Day

1000ish words today. I had some birthday festivities so 1000 words is pretty good all things considered. I will try to get some more words in tonight after publishing this post. The novel is moving along. The Good Necromancer series is totally different than my Rat...

Started Writing Again Today

800 words. It’s my birthday today. I started writing Cold Hard Magic again, so that’s a nice win. This is another novel I left off in the middle. This one is tougher because it’s been around 18 months since I started it. And I left off in the worst possible place....
