  • What I’m Reading 9th May

    It’s been almost a month since I posted what I’ve been reading. Sixty plus hours a week down the word mines made it challenging to find time to read. But now that I’m heading for a holiday in T minus two hours, I thought I’d line up my next read.

  • Things in Scots: Running the Asset Edition – Polis

    I’m not having a high-level brain fart. I know I just posted Wummin on Monday, but for the last month or so, I’ve been toying with switching my posting days around. I usually post TiS on a Monday and a What I’m Reading post (when I have time to read) on a Friday. I chose…

    Wow. Wow. Wow. What a week last week turned out to be; I’m still reeling from it. I’ve got this weird detached feeling about it. It’s like this crazy combo of it was a year ago and that it was someone else’s experience. Basically, forgive the lack of detail about what occurred last week.

Today’s new words takes Running the Asset‘s manuscript to 137,560 words! Have a great…

  • Word Count Update 29th April

    I’ve just finished writing the climax for the external plot! Another two and a half scenes in the bag. I cut the first scene for tomorrow in half to create two scenes to up the dramatic irony for the reader. Come on, who doesn’t love shouting at book characters when they don’t know something the…

  • Word Count Update 28th April

    Man, I had a hard time getting going this morning. If there was even the slightest thing that could distract me, I was on it. Case in point: I found a roll of skinny washi tape under my chair and had to use it to put a nice wee accent on my keyboard tray. WHY?…

    Have you ever set yourself a huge goal and then instantly regretted it? Yep, same here. With the goal I’d set myself last week, I was starting to have some serious doubts halfway through the first morning of the week.
