Took last night off to go to a free concert, during which I was introduced to a very good band – The Alternate Routes. Highly recommend them. And then we went to Strange Brew with them afterwards! It was very fun. There are pictures. Tonight, I got another 433 words done on the plot summary, …

Posted on July 21, 2011
Otherwise known as yes, Val’s being mean to her characters again. Bad enough the poor bastard was killed, he was being poisoned too??? And this is the cozy mystery. 😀 850 words tonight, as well as Morning Pages. 3 days in a row. I’m in shock. As a reward, I’m going to go play WoW …

(metrics) A long, long night…
Posted on July 18, 2011
Apparently I need to practice turning the internets off when I write. Got 956 words today on the plot summary for Advent Murders, and we’re almost up to the murder. I’m adding in a LOT to this summary, but that’s okay, it’s stuff I need to know. After I finish the summary, I’ll be doing …

(metrics) A little behind on the reporting, but not on the writing.
Posted on December 2, 2010
I’ve been writing every day, just not posting metrics, which is bad. So this is a little catch-up post, just to show the state of the wordcount prior to writing today, and to keep me honest. Then, it’s off to write more Molly and Schrodinger! I ended NaNo not winning, but with a word count …
(metrics) Day 28, more NaNo counts
Posted on November 28, 2010
I finished Chapter 25 of Last Rites today, and made myself cry. The entire end of this book is making me very emotional. *sniff* Gotta get through it, though. Between homework and work tomorrow, i didn’t have time to work on the sekrit project, but I did work on Rites, and I put Word on …
(metrics) Day 27, and more secrets
Posted on November 27, 2010
Secret project, that is. I’m having a lot of fun with it, and blew nearly through the first part tonight in about an hour. 30 minutes of writing, and over 1k! I really do well when I have the right mindset. And that’s what this 365 days of writing is all about, the right mindset. …
(metrics) a day behind…
Posted on November 27, 2010
I wrote last night, but it was on the big computer, so I had to wait until I got downstairs to post them. Trust me, otherwise it screws my numbers up. Taking a few days off from Last Rites to work on something new. Something fun. Something you might see kind of soon. Starting Count: …
