Well it has been a busy and interesting week for me writing wise. Keepers continues to move along at a good pace. I have now written more words in two months on Keepers than I did all of last year on the Steampunk novel. I am well over the halfway… Read the Rest »
It is done, finished, complete with ending. The final totals for this book were over 92,000 words and 501 manuscript pages. A little over 10% larger than the first one. I jokingly posted on my social networks this week that I may suck, but I plan on sucking prolifically. I… Read the Rest »
Can you say major suckage because that was my writing week. On the plus side I got my blogs done everyday (keeping my streak alive). I even got some new followers which I always like (hi, new followers). On the bad side I had another one of those killer migraines… Read the Rest »
I will be over 85,000 words before this weekend is out and this book will now become my new longest book. I may not have quality down yet but I am definitely working on the quantity. I think the final word count will top 90,000. Maybe by a couple of… Read the Rest »

Writing keeps chugging away. Passed the 60,000 word mark this week. Should be done by the end of September like planned. The story really worked this week. The last few weeks I had felt that the story was not moving at the same pace as the first book had. That… Read the Rest »
I am learning a lot about myself as a writer through this process. Book two has taken me longer to write than book one. Part of that is because of the rewriting of book one (which I am doing at the same time) and part of it is that I… Read the Rest »
I passed the 40,000 word count this week which puts me over half way to my word count goal for this novel. Hard to tell right now if I am going to go way over or not. Still feels like I have a lot of story but I am only… Read the Rest »
