A new record.

I had 24 spam comments attempt to post to the blog today.  Thirteen of them within the last hour *laugh*

I finished the transition into the DQ world in the new VR:DQ this morning, and the setup for the major turning point in Secret this evening.  Everything in the middle was pretty much lost to either playing with my young one, shopping, or pulling my hair out trying to keep an eye on the tornado child.

I did finish the covers for Secret and the DQ, though.  Yet another thing I do to try to keep busy and stay productive when I’m not in the right mode to write.  Somewhere between writing, coding, and cover work, I try to get at least something done with my writing every day — even if it’s just reading back through what I’ve written recently.

More bits of stories

Finished one scene for Secret and wrote another.  Managed a couple of paragraphs on the new VR:DQ as well.  The young one was acting the ass all day, though.  Too brain drained to do much more than that once he finally crashed for the evening.

Now, I’m beat, so I’m crashing too.

Up to 6k words

Right around the 6k word mark on Secret.  I’m about to hit the main meat of the story leading to the resolution ( and the sex ) now.

Forever of the Wood was around 14k words, and I suspect that this installment will probably be somewhere around there, which puts me near the halfway mark.

That’s a couple thousand words tonight, and I may yet write more after a break.  ( I should really be going to bed, though.  The boy has been out for a couple of hours, and he’s going to be up awfully early if I don’t crash soon )

It feels so good to write.  I wish I could keep this going all the time like I used to.

A little Mindblind

Mind was talking to me this evening, so I wrote a bit more on Lowborn.  I was feeling a little mindblind myself, and the scene just wasn’t playing out in my head.  Got over that hump tonight, so that story can start moving apace again.

4k words in

Up to 4k words on Secret of the Wood.  Not sure how long it’s going to be yet, but it’s not going to be a short story by any stretch of the imagination *laugh*

Working on other stuff here and there as well.  Did a little tweaking to SOTM 16, a bit of writing on Lowborn, and some other tidbits.  Did a bit of musing about another history tale for Nobles by Deed, highlighting a character that hasn’t had much “screen time” thusfar — Sagittariad.  I think that he’s only popped up in a brief cameo in SOTM with a single line.  I’ve had a Geflon story running around in my head for a while, as well as a Darkni one.  One of these days, I’ll get all the intro stories for the nobles together, and then it will be time to launch into the grand adventure that led to the freedom of Egoria.

Still need to get the sequel to Blackhawk off the ground, too.

Anyway, I’m writing — just not at lightning speed.  I’ll probably never have as much time/motivation again as I used to, but I have to write.
