I finally got around to putting a widget for LibraryThing (random books from my library) in the sidebar. It’s way towards the bottom. I may play with its location, but for now, it’s hanging around below Search but above Trackbacks. I put the 200 book version at the bottom of … Continue reading →
Thanks to TECH‘s insightful critique, you’ll be spared from experiencing my wimpy ending in Twilight. He took one for the team and highlighted many, if not all, of the places where Twilight leaves a reader wanting, and there are many. He did exactly what I hoped he’d do, and he … Continue reading →
I returned to working on Threads & Ties today. As a result of last month’s workshop at Forward Motion, I’ve downloaded a writing tool from Margaret. It’s a spreadsheet for outlining a novel by POV. Ideally, I’d use the tool as I begin work. In this case, I’m doing it … Continue reading →

Continue reading →I revised from page 181 to page 195 tonight. Not many changes to make, but I typed them into the manuscript, and I’ll resume tomorrow. No writing words tonight, but I’ll kick into the word count marathon at Forward Motion starting tomorrow, so I should knock down a few words … Continue reading →
I wrote two thousand words on USMFW this morning. I sat down this afternoon to revise on Twilight, and I found my pre-NaNo work on the project. That was complete to page 151, so I picked up where I left off. I’m up to page 181 tonight, so that’s 8k … Continue reading →
I have four primary goals for this year: Write regularly Finish US Military for Writers Finish Twilight Finish Threads & Ties To help with achieving those goals, I’ve added the progress bars to the sidebar and signed up for Forward Motion’s Marathon Plus 2008 (write 250,000 words this year) and … Continue reading →
