I was writing like crazy mad for the last two days and I did it. I didn’t think I was going to manage it, but I hit my 50,000.
I had to skip over a chapter or two, so now I have to go back and add them in, but oh my God, how crazy is that?
As a reward, I’m buying Scrivener for myself and I need to get a microphone so I can use Dragon. But how completely awesome.
What’s Up:
From Diamond to Coal–Okay, so I’ve got poisoned takeout food, dimensional travel, a dangerous assassin, blackmail, and a mm couple having a baby (not mpreg, though it was a very near thing. Sorry to all those that are disappointed.) I’ve got like 8 years to cover, but I’ve been kinda stuck on year one.
Heroes & Villains–Pretty much done with the editing. Should be sending it out tomorrow. Hopefully :S
The Matrix Effect–Yeah, I went there. I totally did. Should be supremely awesome. That or it’s going to be incredibly terrible. I’m not quite sure where I am with that yet.
Fiends–A mm romance novella. Should be pretty smokey.
——-
And what’s happening in my real life? Well, I went to the library and got P.N. Elrod’s “Dark Road Rising,” and L.E. Modesitt’s “Arms Commander.” Hopefully they’re going to be as good as they look. I don’t know, I’ve been having bad luck picking good books recently.

Also, if anyone knows how I can get Semagic to work with WordPress again, that would be totally the best. I might add your name to my list of special people (which may involve the receiving of cool stuff.)
Now that I’ve gotten my computer problems all handled, I’ve been getting back to the task of writing.
-I’ve made some definite progress editing “Heroes & Villains.” 100 pages today!!! Wow.
-I added 2000+ words to “From Diamond to Coal” this morning
-And I’m totally kicking butt at “My Farm Life,” one of those stupid time management games.
It’s funny, but I’ve always kind of thought of myself as night owl, but it’s obvious that I get the most work done during the early morning. So from now on, I guess that’s what I’m going to be doing. Works good 🙂
Now all I have to do is figure out how to get Semagic to work again. I’ve managed to get LJ and DW up and running with it, but it won’t work with WordPress. I dunno, I can log in and make my entries, but I just like being able to save drafts, write things when I want to, and just generally be able to post entries without opening Firefox. Mostly because every time I bring up Firefox, I have to spend an hour looking at different stuff and just generally poking around. There’s a reason why standalone blogging clients were first created.
I am running through “Heroes & Villains” again, making changes and prettying it up for print as a 6×9 trade paperback. It’s kind of stressful, but I’m going at it with tenacious verve as I am aiming for an early December release.
What does that mean for the world at large? Free copies for some lucky duckies!
That’s right, there will be giveaways. Not only am I part of the Christmas Blog Hop, but I will be running some other giveaways on the side. So keep an eye out on that, ’cause who doesn’t like free stuff, amiright?
~Peace, love, joy.
