I’m making good progress on the editing of Winter Wolves, having done thirteen of the twenty one chapter so far. That is the easy part. After finishing the rewriting I did some brainstorming, trying to nut out a few problems I was having with the plot as it sat. The brainstorming worked well, as I [...]

I’ve finished writing Winter Wolves. Its been a long time in the coming, but it is done finally. Now comes the next phase – the editing and polishing. It is going to need it. Some concepts and ideas changed during the writing and so I’m going to have to go back through it and fix [...]

January has come and gone – yes already. One twelfth of the year has already flown by. Writing wise it was a decent month. Notable points are; 130K words written – mostly rewriting old drafts but still that is progress. 70K done on rewrite of Winter Wolves novel. 10.5K done of rewrite of Dawn of [...]

The year has begun and we are already a couple of weeks in so I thought it time to take stock of what has happened and what I have got planned. Firstly I have managed to write everyday of the year so far, and not insubstantial amounts. If I am rather liberal with my definition [...]

Professor Halir Ashford. Historian, Explorer and Adventurer. One of the favourite characters I’ve written so far. And a character who really shouldn’t have existed beyond a minor mention. It happens from time to time; characters take on a life of their own and demand a bigger say in things. His story starts back with a [...]

I’m not going to look back at my resolutions for last year – I know that most of them never got done, which is why I normally don’t bother. It is a good time, however, to look back over 2010 and to look forward to 2011. 2010 was a year of missed opportunities, both writing [...]
Progress Update

Work on Winter Wolves is still coming along, slowly but surely. I’ve just hit the 44K mark on the rewrite, or around 11 of the 21 planned chapters. This part was the easiest to do though. The first half saw minimal plot changes – it is during the second part that the plot deviates more [...]
The rough draft of Winter Wolves is complete, finally. Did around 1600 words today to wrap it up and the grand total of draft comes to around 55,600 words. Much work remains to be done, especially on the ending. It is decent, but has the potential to be much better. Plus need to add another [...]
Winter Wolves hits 50K
Posted: April 6, 2009 in winter wolves, writing updateTags: writing, writing update
The rough draft of Winter Wolves is finally nearing completion, and has just passed 50,000 words. I have just started the 20th of 21 planned chapters, so not long until the rough draft is done and I can start the rewrite, as well as adding in extra scences that I have planned in the meantime. [...]
I’m frankly a bit embarrassed about this but I seem to have misplaced a character. I’m not talking about a minor character either, I’m talking about a very important main character and the only female one to boot. Just realised there is this gap of three of four chapters where she is meant to be [...]
