Goal for today: ignore the fact that it’s the Saturday before Thanksgiving, and act like it’s the Monday of a brand-new project with a serious deadline.

Yesterday I managed 500 words and a lot of thinking. I made some connections between characters, realized that part of my plot wasn’t working for me, and let some description be as bad as it needed to be.

Today I have to manage a transition — not usually my strongest suit — ending one scene and moving on to the next and start a new scene that I’m not all that sure about. But it’s the only thing I need to do today. Apart from writing this, of course, and I getting this done before I’ve even had my morning cup of mint tea.

Good luck to everyone else writing today!

A Lonely Magic

Up to 25K words on A Lonely Magic and… I’m not even sure how to explain it. I’m completely crazily amusing myself. I love Fen. I love the way she thinks, I love the way she swears, and I love, love, love the experience she’s having.

I don’t want to keep spoiling people who aren’t reading, so I’m not going to post more quotes. But the rough draft is going up on fictionpress in real time–on other words, I’m posting at least 1000 words a day there, so if you want to read it in progress, you can check out the link from my contact page. Oh, and I meant to keep posting it to wattpad, too. Yeah, I forgot about that. But maybe I’ll try. Wattpad actually is a nicer reading experience, except that no one reads anything I post over there, making it not so motivating to make the effort.

Anyway, Fen… I’m pretty sure that if A Lonely Magic keeps its title (it might not) and sells a few copies, one called A Precarious Balance might follow it someday.
