Day 8 – Short Story Update #storyaday

Song of the Flying Dutchman 9177 words

No, there was not an update on the 7th. That’s because I was mired in a story that kept going… and going… and going…

When it was finally done, it informed me there was a bunch more to go. Yeah, yeah, I know. Wow, do I know. Not [...]

Day 6 – Short Story Update #storyaday

Trim the Flying Dutchman 5012 Words

Colors of the Flying Dutchman 7501 Words

I took day 5 off from the Forward Motion Story-A-Day May challenge. The brain just would not cooperate. Instead, I took a nice long nap and took the time off for the luxury of watching a movie. It must have worked, because [...]

Sounds like I’m apologizing for only 6500 words in a day, doesn’t it? Not [...]

The verdict for 2011 “National Novel Writing Month“?

The 2009 record has been broken!

Bad news: it was broken by more of a whimper than a smash.

For the first part of the month the writing [...]

I went into August figuring that any sales would be a wonderful surprise. Don’t expect anything. Just be happy with anything you get.

And I was very surprised.

July is technically a part of the publishing summer slump, but for [...]
