I’m stuck. Not on plot, but on blocking. My novels have a huge cast, and I’m trying to rework a fight scene. Just constant juggling people and choreography. Yes, I am frustrated, while still maintaining myopic intensity. Yes, I KNOW I have other writing stuff to do. But where is Edie standing right now?
I got some really, really bad news, and was in no fit mood for human interaction. Even through my blog. Feeling better today though. I even got my work done on the Red Witch last night. With any luck, my spirits will be back to normal levels tomorrow. Miss Ashley will have a comic for […]
For two days, I have opened Scrivener and done nothing. I’m very aware of what I need to do. I have to add in a a few fights scenes, which can be heavily adapted from the ones that I cut (and still have saved in older drafts.) The problem is that this is a lot […]
What about a weekly book review? I don’t brag often, but if I have a super power, it’s reading. So I could, quite easily, read through a book a week and reviewing it. I like the idea, although it’s something more on my plate, when I’m trying to ease up. And on the other hand, I’m […]
So Publishing Day ran smack in to technical delays… *Sigh* We’re completely ready for tomorrow though. I swear. As for me, I’ve been working on Red Witch in the mean time. I’ve been unhappy with the direction the story took. I knew what kind of story the series needed for book two, and I hadn’t […]
Waiting for my edits this morning… I’m using my time wisely: working on the Red Witch. While this is a new draft, I am using a lot of old material, changing up pacing and updating it for a few plot twists. The problem right now, is that this older draft feels like it has more […]
That’s what writing novels feels like to me these days. I do remember this feeling. Without a deadline to push me, I tend towards a paragraph and a chapter there. It’s almost lazy writing… although not lazy writing. It also means lots of rereading. So I sit down, read the last few paragraphs, get the shape […]
Read Last Call: Culmination to my husband last night. And there were a few passages that felt like I was talking about Kuzco’s poison. It happens. But other than that, the piece feels good. Mina and Matty are almost ready for their next adventure. Once I get through a little cutting and word choicing. Which […]
It’s the same old, same old. Just me plugging away. Ahead on Chelsea stories, got a chapter of the Red Witch done, working on the web comic, proofreading Culmination… So I’m busy, and I’ll talk to ya’ll, tomorrow.
Miss Ashley has internet this week, and so we have a new comic! Okay, enough gushing. Okay, I swear, I’m done. I’m just very excited about these next few comics. Mina is changing for the first time, and that’s… it’s just awesome. Ashley is doing such a great job with it. But, I have to […]
