Word Debt: 4423 (Including today)
Pretty hefty word debt. Slow week. Means I need to pick up the pace for the next four days. Catgirl is coming moderately well. Santa is nearly done. Telepathic Smirk is...eh. Its better than the thought robbery piece but its missing...something. Not much blog work either, and I need to do an entry for the game before the next game tonight. Starting script work this week for the short and brainstorming for the long.

I can make that up later today. The Santa Vampire Story is coming along well. I have started three more sci fi stories from the idea list. Once I finish those, I'm starting a short script and then the feature script. They are coming out well though Cat Girl in Boots and the Chesire Smirk are coming along better than the memory theft story but all three are better than the turdlet that direspace ended up being. I quite while I was ahead and shot that story in the head. I think sometimes just ending a story is a good idea. I might come back to it at some point. The blogs go well. Though I am behind in my personal blog but I'm not counting that on my writing quota.

Writing For This Week
Tracking Words:
Scene Run on Dark Metal: 1000 words (Zone of Terror)
Blogs: (Counted: Eagle as Phoenix, I Have an Opinion of Almost Anything, Let Me Tell You About My Character) 2293
Short Stories: Great Zamboninapping 4112 (Completed - First Draft)
Vampire Santa: 363
Any Price: 1012
Total Word Count To Date: 8783
Word Debt: 220
Not bad really. 1000 words a day. A bit unorthodox to include running a written rpg scene and blogs, but the rpg scene forces me to use characters, setting, actions, plot and such which means it is just as good as any writing exercise, and the blogs, while not fiction, are definitely 'finished product' and take as much motivation to write, so I think they count towards writing in general. And since short stories or prose fiction was at least half the count...I think....good so far. We'll see how we do to the end of the year.

Things are Going Well
I just finished Chapter 5 of the Graphic Novel. I've written 2 stories so far, and will write two more this week. That puts me at roughly 12000 words so far this year, which is well behind the goal I have for 75000, but we'll see if I can catch up.
I'm considering starting my next short story in the literary genre, but I haven't exactly figured it out yet. But I recall that the beginning of "The Gunslinger" started with "The Gunslinger Chased Against the Man In Black Across the Desert" or something like that.
So far all I have is this.
"The more cynical part of me says it isn't going to be enough. And there has never been a prison built for me from which I did not escape. And there is no prison more dire than one's own mind."
That speaks more towards something Inception like which is hardly 'literary'....but Metamorphosis is considered such so maybe I'll do something surreal.....

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.
