Chapter 6 done, 2846 words, which puts this whole beast over 20kwords.  Now there will be cheering, and also dinner.
Mildly OCD. Please do not troll.

kittensgame, Sandcastle Builder, Homestuck, Welcome to Night Vale, Civ III, lots of print genre SF, and old-school SATT gaming if I had the time.  Also Pandemic Legacy is the best game ever.

Just hit 20K myself.  Much of what was to be "writing" turned out to be "going back and fixing", but in addition to great improvements, those fixes generated some Good Content too.  Not sure how many words I did this weekend.  Invariably, I don't really hit my stride until it's about time for bed. 

I am Irony's bitch.

The past few days for me have been a RUSH of mixed emotions. I have been trying for the past few weeks to get into writing mode and write everyday. I'd been getting distracted, procrastinating, you get the idea.


I tried like heck to replicate the "madness" that I get when I'm in writing mode. It was this madness that allowed me to write 98 pages of screenplay in 3 days and 118 pages in 5 days 2 years later in College. I tried to get that madness so that I could complete my long-awaited Cyberpunk Movie. And for the past few weeks I've been spinning my wheels mostly.


After consulting with my brother and my self-help/writing literature I came to the conclusion that I should just write something, anything I had a passion for even if it wasn't the feature because at least then I would be writing.



So, over the weekend I...wrote a 35-page TV Show Pilot and 6-Page Mini-Bible for said show and posted them on Amazon Studios. Hazzah!!!  ;D


I am cautiously stoked. Moreso than anything else, I am relieved. The past few days of marathon writing have been the most exciting time I've had in....a long time. I went to college so I could do that and I want to continue doing that. It's the first TV Show I've ever written so...lots of mixed emotions.


All I can do now is hope that other people think it's good/funny...



The Show is a Comedy called "Starship Enlisted", it's 17+ on the rating and genre-savvy folks can guess what it's about. If you're interested in it, there's a link in my sig.

Cranked out another thousand words.  Up to 117k on the sequel.  I might just write some more.

Seeing 149 sales for the first 17 days of this month for my first book has really fired up my excitement to finish the sequel.  Despite the fact I'm working a more than full time job right now.

Because sometimes I'm just cool that way.

sales are at 166 as of right now.  Looking at an email yesterday at about teh same time, looks like I've just sold 26 books in a 24 hour period.  To think, that last month this time I was selling 1/2 a book a day.  Admiral Who? is on fire as far as I'm concerned.

I deserved to quote myself  :P


hehehehe

I'm thrilled to hear things are going so well!  I can only imagine the feeling.  For now anyway.  Things keep going the way they are with my story I'll get to experience it myself with any luck. 

(Had the day off and didn't get jack done writing-wise, but got lots and lots of Stuff In The House done that needed doing.  Which means that tomorrow night I'll haven no excuses not to sit down and hammer out a few thousand more words.

Silly is as silly does and I for one am pleased to be labeled as such!

119k as of today!  I realize that 1k a day isn't the greatest thing since sliced bread but at least its something.  And a little bit every day will get the gremlins to go away eventually.

I would have done more but between arranging with my brother or rather trying to arrange with him a time for him to do the first pass editing of my second book Admiral's Gambit, and working a full time job.... well lets just say I was pressed for time and running short of sleep.

I need to wrap up the Admiral's Gambit so I can get started on the next book in the series.

Anyway best of luck with your bio papers, study study study.  I know you can do it, Cen-Girl-Wolf.


hahahahh
