Oh, yeah? Well, I’m a novelist!

I finished my novel shortly after two o’clock this afternoon.  It had to be 50,000 words and finished by midnight.  Mine is a mere 50,062 words.  I can still write more and add too it, but the story is bascially told.  It will get longer with a rewrite.  I’ll take some things out, reword other [...]

Sometimes The Tortoise Doesn’t Win

Word count update: 29,025 I’m a good ways behind where I would like to be.  I’m hoping to surge ahead on Saturday and by midnight Sunday be at 40,000.  I keep taking my laptop to work and writing during lunch.  Sometimes I only get a few hundred words, but I once managed nearly 700.  Every [...]
