This is a blog about my obsessions, whatever they may be.

June 13, 2010

1.

Terrible weather.

A perfect day for leave taking.

Is it wrong that it was easy? It feels like it shouldn't have been.

2.

I hate packing. I would say that I'm never going to move again, but that would definitely be a lie.

3.

I am on track to finish Hurricane Forever by the end of the month. I'm progressing faster -- plotwise -- than I thought I would.

1.

I thought I should post an update, though there is little to say.

2.

Indeed, I have had little to write, only about a thousand words since Tuesday.

3.

At some point I will need to go back and edit a chunk of words I wrote in WriteWay a few months back, and slot it in.

In fact, I think I'll just do it now, and then go to bed.

It'll bump up my word count by about 11k, but I'm slotting it in primarily for continuity's sake. It fits in chronologically, and I am not yet sure that if any of it will make it into the final version.

ETA: Actually, a lot less than that. About 6k. Some of the scenes, I already rewrote in.

1.

First update for Kaz's Summer Camp.

2.

From Hurricane Forever:
The older man’s face flushed, in renewed anger. “I won’t be your pawn.”
“You already are, and if you do not act, you will only remain a pawn.”

3.

I'm just past the 100 page milestone -- I don't write in manuscript format, but 14pt Corbel spaced 1.15.

Somehow this is more monumental than the 35k I'm nearing.

1.

Still slow going.

2.

Thinking about what I do know about my sooper woman.

And realising that I made her weak.

She is strong because she fights for her beliefs, and her belief is absolute.

3.

Haven't started anything for June yet.

But I want to finish at least an entire row on Mother Maya first.

4.

Incidentally, I'm giving away a copy of Tabitha Suzuma's Forbidden on my other blog.

1.

I'm doing Summer Camp with Karen Mahoney.

My goals are:
At some point, I need to start my Sooper Sekrit Projekt with Nadia Lee. We are sacrificing blood, sweat and time, in order to achieve World Domination. Stay tuned.

June:
Finish Hurricane Forever. About another 20-30k.

July:
Ignore Hurricane Forever.
Pretty sure this will be the most difficult one, but this is the most important goal for July. If I don't complete the others, I guess I'll have had my first real writing vacation in I-don't-know-when.
Write a short story, maybe 10k.
Fiddle with my would-be magnum opus.

August:
Write a synopsis for something. I don't care what, so long it's not Hurricane Forever or my would-be magnum opus. I just want to have something for my underbrain to chew over whilst I revise Hurricane Forever.
You can sign up until June 8th.

2.

I'm at 31k, or so.

A little stuck, but we'll get there.
