Wednesday Weekly Roundup
Last week I wrote almost 10K and finished the second book. This week I might take a few days to go through the first and second book one last time before starting on the third and last of the publishing challenge. And it’s March, so of course there’s a new title out! You can either […]

Wednesday Weekly Roundup
Last week I wrote almost 4K – new words on old story that needs major rewrites. I’m quite happy with the new version, the original had too many plot holes, LOL! I’m also re-watching a lot of movies for inspiration (although this is sci-fi, the movies are contemporary action)… I’m done, though! List of movies […]

Wednesday Weekly Roundup
Last week I wrote 3.5K words, which brings the yearly total to 40K. Not bad for a year in which I’m concentrating on other things. The major rewrite is proving interesting, with a lot of names changes. Back in the 1980s my English was bad, we only watched dubbed movies on TV and in cinemas, […]

Wednesday Weekly Roundup
Last week I wrote less than 3K, but I don’t really care. I’m in no hurry and I’m confident that by the deadline with Mighty Editor I’ll have the other two books done. These should go quickly, so no worries there. The story is already there, but it’s badly outdated, so it needs a complete […]

Last week I wrote anothre 8K words and realized I had sort of forgotten whose story it was, so before I move on to the next project, I need to go through this one again, start to finish. Glad the deadline is in a couple of months! 🙂 And February’s title is out, another themed […]

Wednesday Weekly Roundup
Last week I wrote over 11K, although this week I’ll have to go through all of that and make adjustments… and add the final chapters to finish the books. I hope to be done by the end of the week, since this was supposed to be done in January, and tomorrow it’s February already. Time […]

Wednesday Weekly Roundup
Last week I skipped a couple of days of writing for both life rolls and struggling with formatting. The new laptop seems to have trouble interacting with the old one, so I had to redo two PDF interiors (and then two covers when I uploaded them to KDP, because the writing on the spine was […]

Wednesday Weekly Roundup
Last week I ended up writing 5K over the weekend, since it was a rather busy week, both at work and outside of work. Aging parents and other life rolls do that to your writing routine. I was also between projects, having decided to stop what I was doing and start on something else. So […]

Wednesday Weekly Roundup
The year started with 1050 words written on January 1st, and that’s it. The rest of the week was spent on Photoshop, prepping those strips, so I can retire the old laptop and start using the new one (that still doesn’t have a Photoshop, so I need to do everything on the old one). I […]

Wednesday Weekly Roundup
Happy New Year! Last week I wrote some 8K, which brought the yearly total to almost 410K, which is not bad at all, considering I thought I’d barely make it to 350K! This year’s goal is… non existent. I’m taking it easy. I shall be a temporarily retired artist for the next couple of years! […]
