Something of an odd title, but currently I am both two thirds and one half through writing Winter Wolves. How can it be both? Simply, I have written fourteen of the twenty one planned chapters, meaning that that part is two thirds complete. Likewise I have written roughly half the planned words. I am not [...]

Winter Wolves Milestone
Posted: March 16, 2009 in winter wolves, writing updateTags: writing, writing update
I just did a quick count on what has been written so far, including today’s efforts so far, and the total has now passed 30,000 words, half way through chapter ten. All in all around 2/5ths of a book, so still a fair way to go, but progress is being made at last.
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 [...]
Chapter Five Finished Finally, Sorta

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. [...]
Been quiet on here for a few days, but that is mainly as things have been bubbling along quite nicely with Winter Wolves. Over the last six days I totally rewrote the first three chapters, cranking out over 16,500 words. The old draft of the first three chapters had only been around 12,100 words long [...]
A Great Day

Day is not quite done yet, but so far I have done around seven hours of work and passed 6K words written, a new record for a day for me. Admittedly I did cheat a little as I was doing a rewrite of the first chapter of Winter Wolves so many of those words had [...]
Winter Wolves Excerpt
Posted: February 12, 2009 in winter wolves, writing updateTags: writing, writing update
I have returned to my old familiar stomping grounds and gone back to work on the rewrite of Winter Wolves. It is the closest of any of my works to being completed, with a 20K synopsis finished and a previous rewrite started. After planning on rearranging the order of the first rewrite attempt, it got [...]
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 [...]
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 – [...]
