Writing

Haven't gotten much done, but I feel much better. More progress should be made.

Talked with Ken about N4CH47. He's working on it. We're too close to give up now.

1/8th of the way through conversion of "Tossing Grenades at Windmills" to an audio play. Est completion day, April 30th. May will be all about "Rossom's Universal Robots."

I have started two new poems. "Mr. H's Angel." and "Tempus Fugit Inc."

I have also started a short story, untitled but I think that I will call, "Mr. Popularity." Hoped for completion is May 1.

Except for some stuff for the May Podcast

I haven't written a damn thing.

I'll try to write more this weekend.

Status Update

Chapter 47 of Novel 4 written.

Unfood finished.

I've got 3 poems promised to write for the podcast with an unlikely but possible fourth.

I've also got the Season 3 translation of Jay's 'thought flow' into coherent script format for Sentinel Chronicles any day now.

Busy is better than not busy.

Decision

I've decided to keep writing. And I'm keeping most of my projects. The events of the last week have been a window to change things, and in some cases I have made those kind of choices, but I've been a writer for a long time and I'm going to BE a writer for a long time. If anything, it is a challenge to continue moving forward with things. I will finish Unfood by the end of the month and mean to finish Chapter 47 in Novel 4 tonight. I'm still on track to restart (from scratch) Novel 5 at the start of July and finish it in 6 months.

Unfood moves on

I'm at 2700 words now. I have a clear story structure in mind. I hope to finish it by the end of the month.

Novel 4 is on hold since Ken has been sick.

So what new thing have I written since 3 days ago?

Nothing. Not one thing but I got tired of always writing this at the end of the week. Plus I thought I'd mention a bit about future plans. So this year, writing wise I still plan on doing two novels. Novel 4 is progressing well and I aim to be done with it one way or another (at least as far as the principal writing phase) by the end of April. After that it will be a long hard shlog of editing. I plan to start Novel 5 from scratch again in July and finish it in December. Then I'm probably taking 2011 off almost entirely writing wise.

Tangentially, I will also be doing poems for the podcast and short stories for the Virtual writing group. I'm considering joining a second writing group to refine the stories even further after that...we'll see. The main one I'm working on at the moment is Unfood, which, when done I hope to turn into a short script for the film I'll work on this year.

This week

Chapter 46 out of 55 is written for Novel 4.

The first half of "Unfood" is written and reviewed by the Virtual Writing Group. Part 2 is due by the end of the month, and I will begin banging it out tomorrow.

2 out of 3 "Season 2.5" Sentinel scripts are done thus far. I hope to begin the second tomorrow.
