Now that I've found my rhythm the book is almost writing itself! I'm about 10,000 words in and very excited.

Through pass on first two new chapters again, and what were first four chapters.  It is being extremely tricky to unpick and redo things with the few important changes in timing and distance just before and at the start, keeping all the knock-on effects under control and not ruining my plot is challenging.

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.

I missed hangin' on the board, so I'm back.  I'm also writing again.  Lurching by, trying to get a handhold on Saturday mornings as dedicated writing time.  Once that is secured I'll reach out for Sunday as well.  Workdays are harder, because work completely fries my brain and I have a two-hour round trip every day.

Anyhoo, I've been trying to develop a more concrete method to help develop writing as a habit; thought-vomit in a notebook until I lose patience and just have to get to the keyboard, type it out until I lose steam, return to the notebook and vomit up the next few scenes.  This week I'm going to introduce another step: talking into a voice recorder during my stupid drive to and from work, then using that as the basis for my notebook pre-writing.

Hopefully this will result in a stronger rough draft, and create some momentum to increase my productivity during each session.

Currently I have about 15 pages, single spaced, on the WIP.

Keep after it.  If you want it bad enough, it'll happen for you.  But even if it doesn't click this time, you'll still have a lot of fun along the way!

Thanks for the encouragement!  I just walked in from work...and I was talking through story bits the whole way.  And what do you know, I'm pretty dang excited to get the stuff off the recorder and onto the page.  Wee!  Funny how a little passion will turn your day around.

Chapter 10 finally Completed! At an average of 12.5 pages that's 125+ pages...I have no idea of the word count as I can't translate that in my brain, and feel a greater sense of accomplishment going by page count.
My current goal is 400+ pages by the end of June, my birthday. So far so good!

2.8K tonight.  First draft of Breath of Scheherazade is now done, weighing in at 25.5K. 

Now for a brandy.  I've earned the sumbitch.
