We interrupt your regular schedule to bring you this musical interlude, the first of a semi-regular posts sharing whatever I happen to be listening too at the time. The music for today comes from the recently released game, Fallout 3, set in the post apocalyptic irradiated ruins of Washington DC, where you battle to live [...]

After yesterdays meh day, today was much better, a truly huzzah day. (You don’t see many people use huzzah anymore, but I like the word. Call me odd if you will.) Got some solid writing done, clocking in at around 4100 words. I may do some more later but right now I need a break.
After yesterday’s disappointment, I was able to sit down and get some solid writing in in the morning. So much so that I was able to finish the first beta draft of the prologue. At some stage I will go back over for the polish, but it’ll do for now as I push on into [...]
If I could some up yesterday in one word, it would be meh. As a day for writing, it was pretty much a disaster. I probably managed a mere one hundred words, the first day since I started that I have failed to make progress. I had planned to do plenty of writing, but it [...]
Hard to believe but Christmas is just around the corner and I have yet to start shopping. This year, given current circumstances I am going to have to be cheap without seeming cheap. Not always an easy path to walk. I have in previous years been a little extravagant, especially the first year I was [...]
I’ve updated the website, slowly adding more information. The Winter Wolves page will feature more information on that work in progress now that the rough draft is done. Currently it features a brief synopsis and a list and short descriptions of some of the main characters. More will be added over time, including extracts as [...]

And so ends the third week and the fourth week looms upon us, fresh and uncharted. But first, the news. The main is, of course, that the alpha draft/synopsis of ‘Winter Wolves’ has been completed. It is good to have completed it and ready to engage the next phase. In addition, the serial story Cara’s [...]
As I mentioned in an earlier post I have a habit of starting new projects before completing old ones and am always coming up with new ideas. As it turns out I am not alone in this. Jen Haley, in her post here mentions that similar happens to her, and in the comments others say [...]

A milestone reached
Posted: December 12, 2008 in winter wolves, writing updateTags: writing, writing update
After the struggle of the last short while, I finally punched through the wall and reached a significant milestone. The alpha draft/synopsis of ‘Winter Wolves’ is complete, and it feels good. It only comes in at around 19,400 words, done in around two weeks of writing, but it isn’t meant to be full length – [...]
