Little smatterings

Wrote a little more on various things, and did a lot of brainstorming on some stories I’ve wanted to write for a while.  One of them might even be fleshed out enough to start writing.

Need to sit down and start planning my next story in the “Of the Wood” series, too.  Earth Day will be here before I know it.

Didn’t make it out to get my drive enclosure today, either.  Got out a little earlier, but just didn’t feel like making the drive.  I might see if I can con Sis into watching the young one for a couple of hours so I can go do it this weekend.  If not, I’ll hope for better luck getting out early next week.

The boy is wound up tonight, so not much chance of writing.  Just can’t handle the distraction.  By the time I wind down, after he winds down, I’ll be too tired to write worth spit.

Thought about fixing the link to the blog on the main pages to point to the front page of the blog instead of permalinks, but decided to wait to get the drive enclosure for that, too.  I already have my FTP program on that drive with the logon information on it, so I’m just going to transfer that to the new system, too.  Just don’t feel like downloading it again, digging up the logon information, etc. to grab one file to edit off the server.

I’ve been waking up ahead of the young one on weekends ( even when I go to bed later ) so maybe I’ll get a little writing done in the morning.

Even if I don’t write anything new tonight, I might do a little spicing on Ch. 16.  It needs a little more scene setting than I currently have in there.  Trying to stay in that habit, since I’d realized that I fell away from it ( starting around Merchant Princess )

Enough for now.  Just want to keep the blog up and running so anyone who visits knows that I’m still active, and not down in the dumps ( too badly ) again.

A long day

Didn’t get out of work anywhere near as early as I expected, so I decided to put off the drive to pick up the enclosure for my hard drive today.  I’ll pick it up tomorrow when I should get out much earlier.

Did a bit more writing on the stuff I’m working on.  A little SOTM, a little VR:DQ…  Things are moving, and I’m feeling good when I have some quiet time to write.

May work on the website a little once I get that drive hooked up to the system.  Now I have all of my old stuff, but I need my new stuff that’s on that drive *laugh*  I could have pulled everything back off the server, but I decided just to wait until I hooked up the drive.

Once I get everything back within easy access, I should be able to move a lot of stuff forward.  Figured I’d drop a line, and let everyone know that I’m plugging away.  With the ease of updating through the blog, it’s probably something I’ll do quite often any time I’m feeling motivated enough to work on something that those who read me would be interested in.

And yet a bit more…

Two hour delay this morning, and since I was already up, I decided to write.

Another 500 words, so Ch. 16 is a fifth of the way done.  Also got a start on Lowborn Ch. 05, did a little setup for another story, and put together the framework for my second story arc in the “Virtual Reality: Dragon Quest” series as Les Lumens.  This one will explore 6, 7, and 8 — and I won’t be the only one wandering through the worlds of Dragon Quest this time.

Nothing is moving at lightning speed, but a lot of things are moving.

Almost time to get the young one ready and head off to work, so time to relax a little.  I should have all my old files on this computer by this evening, which will help things roll along.

A little bit more.

Wrote a little more on SOTM — about 500 words.  It’s part of two different scenes.  One, I just need to think about a little more and skipped over.  The other I need to double-check something in one of the other unpublished chapters to make sure that I’m not contradicting something I’ve already written.

They should have my drive enclosure in tomorrow, so I’m just going to wait on that until I have all my files on this computer again.

Trying to decide whether to start on the next chapter of Lowborn, work on a Les idea, or something else that’s sort of brewing in my head *laugh*  The young one went directly to bed when we got home, so I sort of hate to waste the quiet time.

On the other hand, there’s a chance that the butthead might try to get up in the wee hours of the morning if I don’t go to bed.  Nothing like a conundurum.

We’ll see.

The point is that I’m writing again.  Here’s to hopin’ that it keeps up.

SOTM 16 Moving

I’m a little over a thousand words in.  It may only be a tenth of the chapter, but it’s more than I’ve written on the story in I don’t know how long.  I easily have half of this chapter fully written in my head, so it’s a matter of finding time/peace to write it.

That was more or less what I managed to finish before the young one awakened this morning.  I may just write a bit more tonight now that he’s abed.  Probably not much, because I’ve got to go back to work in the morning, but at least a few paragraphs of the next scene.
