Howdy folks, it’s been a a few quiet days with writing but today I knocked out 350 on a new story.
I Likely won’t get much done tomorrow as there’s a new update for GTA Online that I’m keen to get stuck into, but then on Wednesday I’m going for a get shit done day.
Have a good one, folks!
Howdy folks! Super quick post today. I edited about 6600 words of the vampire book this morning.
I’ve not been too well the last 24 hours. I’m feeling better now, I did do a text and it’s not covid. So I’m thinking it was Tuesdays heat and a couple of bad hay fever days.
Have a good one, folks!
I wrote 199 words on a new short story during my break while on a long work day.
I’ve got a thumping headache and another early tomorrow. So I’m off to bed!
Have an awesome one, folks!
2627 words edited on vampire this morning before I felt my laptop a little warmer than normal. So I then read through 42 pages of an earlier draft of Penal Earth that I’m cannibalising for book 2.
Good evening, folks.
I was up at 6:30am and had edited 7936 words on the vampire book by 10am, amongst a number of non-writing chores.
It’s been a very warm day here in the UK. We’ve got Red weather warnings in place from the met office for heat. There’s predictions of temperatures hitting 40 degrees C over these few days. We’re not used to this here, but we love talking and complaining about the weather. So it’s all good!
The rest of the day has been very low impact. I made sure I did as much as I could yesterday after work and this morning before the temperature rose to its peak. Even the cats have done very little. I’ve not let either out, which hasn’t bothered Dizzy but normally Raven would be trying to claw her way through the windows. She hasn’t. Most of the afternoon both cats were sleeping on my bed as I did a little gaming.
Tomorrow I’ve got lunch planned with a friend but I don’t think I’ll be doing a lot that requires exertion. Probably writing/editing in the morning before lunch and then after, during the hottest part of the day I’ll keep it low impact like today.
Although writing has been a little slow lately I feel I’m picking up again. I have these ups and downs. They normally happen when I’m directing more energy into another part of my life than normal. But, it’s on an upward curve at the moment.
Right, I’m off to bed.
Have an awesome week, folks.
Just a quick post tonight; about 5k edited on vamp era, after I found the most recent file!
I did a little brainstorming for Black Blood during my break as well.
Hey folks, how are we all?
I’ve eased off writing a little the last few days due to family and work taking priority. But today I’ve got stuck into editing some short stories for Ko-Fi, which means I’ve got stories scheduled for the Welcome To My Nightmare tier through the end of the year. Then next year, I’ll have something that I’ve been working on for a long time kicking off…….
In total I’ve edited 13751 words on four different stories today.
I’ve also stepped back a bit from Black Blood. I realised I wasn’t doing the deep edit it needed and was just going through the motions a bit. This tells me I’m burnt out on this story and I’m going to put it to one side for a while. I’ve got notes keep popping up in my head for it so I’ll note those down and when I get to editing it I’ll put those where they need to be.
In the meantime I’ll be working on Vampire Era as that’s the next on the schedule. I do need to make one minor addition to Penal Earth that I think will explain something a little better. It’s not a change, it’s just a small detail that I need to do a little research on, but it’ll likely be less than a sentence when I do add it.
Speaking of Penal Earth, I am in the very early stages of planning book two.
The last few weeks I have felt off pace, so I’m going to try and step it back up to the level I know gives me a decent level of productivity.
Just a quickie post tonight. 2400 words on Black Blood. And 10 pages read of an original draft of Penal Earth that I’m gonna harvest for book 2.
Rock on, folks!
I can’t quite bring myself to say ‘good evening’ considering the shit show that is our government right now. Don’t take this as a pop at Johnson or any one in particular. Just the frustrated ramblings of someone who is just fed up of all this drama. Each one, whatever side of Parliament they sit, seems as bad as the other and are only there to fill their pockets and their power. It’s just one big circle-jerk that no matter who’s in charge seems to be the same no matter what. I know there’s good people working in Westminster, there’s good Members of Parliament but the good ones likely will never get to a position where they can do any good because they’re not jerking everyone else off.
What I long for, I ain’t gonna get. A leader who isn’t there to line their own pockets. Someone who isn’t a ‘career politician’, someone who has had a live outside of those circles. And someone who has some fucking integrity.
Anyway, rant over.
This morning I edited 11489 on Black Blood and did a little prep work for Penal Earth book 2.
Here’s some furry family pictures to end the post with.
Howdy folks, just a quick post tonight. I’ve edited 1403 words on Black Blood and done a little planning on Penal Earth book 2. I kept thinking about scenes and plot lines, but I think diving in full steam ahead without any direction then I’m gonna end up hitting a brick wall, or seven!
So I’ve started a basic map out of what I want to do. A lot of what will end up being in book two will be taken from an original draft of the first book, including an element that I was scared I’d have to cut as it didn’t really advance the plot, but now I’ve got an idea to tie it all in nicely.
Right, I’m wrapping it up for the night, have a great one all.
