Progress

Well the first of five short stories I mean to finish this year is done. I've also finished Chapter 4 of the graphic novel. I'll be unemployed in a week and a half which will give me more time to write. I'm researching two scripts at the moment and have another good idea for a novel....this will be ACTUAL steampunk...though of a particular subgenre to the point that its probably barely just, but I like it better that way. First story in first draft is 4000 words, but since I'm going to give it an Effects pass it will probably grow by another 500 or so.

Block gone...for now

Getting the fifth novel off my chest is like taking off a ton of bricks. I finally feel creative drive for the first time in MONTHS. I guess some things can't be forced. I'm about 350 words into a new short story. Not the pace I'd prefer but I'm not going to push TOO hard now that I can finally start writing non drek again.

Week 2

0 Written. 2250 words in the whole.

Not a great start to the new year. I have decided to do a different start to N5, but what I don't know.

Ken has sent me his half of the last chapter for N4.

Slow month

But I needed it. Starting prep work on Novel 5 and Chapter 4 out of 6 for the graphic novel. I'm keeping details on these to myself for a while so look for entries on this blog to be more sporadic (ie like once a month or so) for a while.

Update

Look for a lot more updates in the future. I've decided that writing is indeed a part of what I want my life to be.

So the initial pass at Novel 4 on my half is done. Need to do the first edit pass on Ken's half of Chapter 51.

I've written Page 13 out of 16 on Chapter 3 of the Seventh Seal script, hoping to do 3 more chapters today.

I'm going to be starting another feature length script in the near future. I have no idea how I'll sell it, but my 'writing plan' will come tomorrow, probably on the main blog and referenced on this one.

The 'special short story project' depends in large part on a phone call in the next day or two....we'll see what happens.

Progress

Chapter 49 of Novel 4 done. 6 more to go before I have written 4 full novels! (Well.....1/2 of the 4th novel with someone else but still....)

The Short Story is done. Two more in that arc.

WAY behind on Seventh Seal. I hope to do 5 pages tonight.

Rewrites on Season 3 of the Sentinel Chronicles went well.

Writing Progress

Chapter 48 of Novel 4 is finally done, and Ken has finished his work on Chapter 47. It has been slow going on this one...much slower than one might think for each of us only writing 50,000 words each but nevertheless it is finally being completed. 55 Chapters total, then revisions. I will be quite pleased when it is done.

Lia's poem for the podcast, "The House at the Falls" is also done. Its quite good I think. And it continues the podcast, since I admit there were times where I wasn't entirely sure I'd keep doing it. Hard to do when you're not sure anyone listens.

The Graphic novel is about half way through Chapter 3. I'm doing two more pages tonight.

My primary project at the moment is a short story for a friend. Not sure if it is publishable since it is essentially a riff on one of their works, but, quite frankly I intend for it to be a master piece when finished. If I can do it right but it is exceptionally difficult in nature to do.
