Five years ago, there was no substantial difference between these two types of writers. In fact, the term “indie” wasn’t being bounced around yet, and many of the writers publishing their own work today would never have believed they would do it had you asked even three years ago. Indie… Continue reading
This turned out to be a rough week for writing. I had a strong surge toward the end of the week, but not as much progress as I should have. I a managed 10559 words for the week, which is only 59 over target, despite having one day of over… Continue reading
I had consistency this past week, hitting the word count every day, and only really shooing well past that target once. For the week, 11,425 words added to “Fishpunk,” bringing the total to 53,712 words of a projected 80,000. I’m getting close to the climax of the story, so unless… Continue reading
Not a bad week of progress on Fishpunk. I beat the week’s target word count by a paragraph despite spending Tuesday-Saturday on the road and in California with the family. Missed daily word count only on Tuesday but made it up later. Wrote 10549 words for the week, Fishpunk total… Continue reading
The family and I just returned from a 4-day stay in Oceanside California. It’s a lovely place with all the good things about southern California, but with a small town feel. Pretty much everyone in the family wants to move there. I managed to beat my target word count on… Continue reading
It was a difficult week, but not an unproductive one. I spent the bulk of my time on Monday finishing the proof review of the CreateSpace version of Rigel Kentaurus. It’s done, so if you want your novels on paper, it’s available now. For the past week, I wrote 10346… Continue reading
Since I have been asked about a possible sequel to Rigel Kentaurus, I thought I would outline for you what my plans are in terms of what I’m working on this year, and my plans for what I’ll probably call the Deep Space series. For 2012 I made it a… Continue reading
This week, I made good progress through friday, but the weekend was a huge distraction for me. SAKE (Southwest Area Killifish Event) consumed my entire Saturday, and Sunday was filled with getting things done around the house. I ended the week with 8140 words, which is just over 1100 words… Continue reading
There are some editors, generally (but not exclusively) these are younger editors who learned to write on a keyboard, and detest the ancient typewriter art of adding two spaces after every period (aka full stop). Let me point out that people who learned to type on a typewriter and not… Continue reading
To continue a practice I started while I was working on Rigel Kentaurus, I’ll be posting a weekly progress report as I write Fishpunk. Novel-length projects often start sluggish for me, and this one is no exception. It took a good 4 days before I really hit my stride. I’ve… Continue reading
