Had a much better day today that I have had for a while, with just slightly over 2200 words written and chapter seven also complete. To date the first seven chapters total around 26,600 words. Having seven chapters completed is actually a big achievement, considering how I structure my stories. I have always, from the [...]

Week in Review: Week Ten 2009
Posted: March 12, 2009 in writing updateTags: writing, writing update
Ten weeks into the year already – hard to believe. Where has all the time gone? Writing this week? Less said the better really. Got chapter six done more or less, and even started chapter seven, but it was well short of reasonable. I did however get to see Watchmen – first movie I’ve seen [...]
Apparently this is my 100th post on this site. Bit of a milestone. During that time there have been 37 comments and a bit over 600 hits. Would have hoped there might be more, but it takes a while to build up to these things. Of course, if I had devoted all that writing to [...]

Distractions

Well, Empire Total War came out today, and I am going to have to be very careful that it doesn’t end up as too much of a distraction. I don’t want to wake up in five months and find I have done hardly any writing. So this is going to be a major test, to [...]
Chapter Five Finished Finally, Sorta
Posted: March 3, 2009 in winter wolves, writing updateTags: writing, writing update
After a great deal of difficulty, I’ve finished chapter five, sort of. Well, I’ve got a draft of chapter five done – though I am far from satisfied with it. With the previous chapters, while there are a few parts I know need some work, at least I am satisfied with the chapter in general. [...]
