3000 words over the weekend so that only averages 1000 a day. Not great but not terrible.

Thing Which I Should Be Working On: Through pass on five more chapters, only one difficult bit remaining needing doing.  Also, bought ink for printing out the next draft.

Thing Which I Really Want To Be Working On:  Figured out a bunch more late plot-shape stuff.  It's amazing how much of that my brain does when I am stuck on particularly annoying software configuration problems at work.

I'm currently at 72,000 words. My first five chapters have been revised and I'm working on chapter 6 now. Chapter 1 has been sent to two beta readers plus someone who is my unofficial "editor" and all feedback has been very positive. I'm getting more excited with every day that passes!

Sorry I've only got a size 8 and a half.  But I could go get a sledge hammer if you want???
Me I'm stuck currently on the story/novella? I'm working on.  I know where I want to go but have gotten hung up in the middle.  Drats.

I have passed the 75% mark in my current novel (first draft).  I can see the light at the end of the tunnel from here!

Just got an e-mail back from Scott Lynch.  He's coming to my convention again this November.  SO excited.  Him and Pat Rothfuss run some great how to be an author panels.

No writing got done this weekend, due to an unfortunate combination of several different jangly sort of circumstances, though I did plot-building work for later parts of the Thing I Want To Be Working On. Nor will any this coming weekend because of convention, nor likely the one after because of exhaustion.

Didn't notice there were so many writers on this board hehe. I feel pretty lazy right now as I haven't been able to touch my WIP for weeks...

I should have heeded your warning.

I was supposed to finish my novel yesterday.  Instead, my 2-year-old got a stomach virus.  I haven't slept in two nights.  Now my parents are in town.  AAAAAAAAAAAUGH.

Thing Which I Should Be Working On; crunched down on chapter 20, and through pass to chapter 25.  I may finish this pass tomorrow, yay.

Thing Which I Want To Be Working On; yet more notes.  I am glowering at it and telling it to behave. I will get back to it Really Soon Now.

Finally got my Apartment clean after I realized is was one of many distractions that was messing up my Chi/Ki or something.


Now that that's done I can outline the novel I have planned for NaNoWriMo next month. Hopefully a 50,000word book but it's already several dozen pages of notes and several dozen more to come including a Magic System i have no idea where to start with.

...and it's a wrap.

Thing Which I Should Be Working On is a complete draft, now just needs transfer to a Windows computer, assembly (I work in one-chapter-at-a-time text files) printing, and mailing off.

DNG has me slaved out to a laptop writing for the next expansion for the Dark Nova RPG, I haven't gotten squat done on the novel lately. Blargh! That being said, I have managed to write enough background material and filler for the setting of the universe that I am getting ideas for yet another book... oy vey...
