Plodding along...




Well, the words just flew out of me a few days ago, then plodded out of me yesterday. I got some new words down but not as many as I would have liked. Perhaps today I'll make better progress. I'm still shooting to be done with this story so I can submit it by the end of the month --Here's hoping!

Update: After 1.5 hours of writing time today


So...I made some progress. This is all the "writing" time I have today. The rest of my free time today will be spent critiquing and proofreading. But, tomorrow is Library Day...I should be able to get in a good crunch of writing in the afternoon.

Woot, woot

I'm going to try out that little word widget-thingy...



Hey, cool. It works!

This is my first time-travel (with some alternative history elements worked in). Has anyone else ever written a time travel or even read lots of them. I think I've only read a couple and can't pull up any names to save my soul. I'm wondering if there are any rules I need to know about it? Or maybe it's good to not know the rules and just write away...

"Finish every day and be done with it...You have done with you could; some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it...serenely, and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense."
---Ralph Waldo Emerson

I like that and thought I'd share. I don't remember how many pages I had when I checked in last but I'm at 81. I've GOT to go ahead and start the second novella--in hopes that 2 and 3 will help me wrap up 1. Plus it's a nice spot to start Nano.

I'm shooting for ten and beginnings are easy for me so it should be fun. I'll check in before I Leave work today and happy writing everyone!
