Wednesday Weekly Roundup

Last week I ended up writing a little over 10k, not really as much as I was hoping, but I don’t seem to be back in the writing mood yet. DayJob keeps getting in the way and I keep finding excuses… Bad Barb! Finish this and get back to writing! Now! You have a novel […]

Wednesday Weekly Roundup

So last week was the second and last non-writing week of the year, although I did write a prologue for the current project – longhand, so it will be counted with this week’s wordcount. I visited Vienna and Budapest, and I’m still recovering, so you’ll forgive me if I keep this short. Monday was spent […]

Sunday Surprise

And it’s a guest! I saw a pleading call on Facebook, and couldn’t let it pass without promoting it. The original author passed away and Craig Martelle finished his series. This is John Hindmarsh’s Jack Foster Space Opera which reads like a superhero series, but as a space adventure. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the […]

Wednesday Weekly Roundup

Last week I wrote over 12K, a short story for an anthology and then I started on the novel I’m doing the traveling for. Since this week I won’t be writing at all to research some more, I thought I’d write down the part set in Romania before I move on to some other place. […]

Wednesday Weekly Roundup

Last week, after a kick in the pants from the workshop I’m taking, I managed over 12K and finished whatever I was working on, despite not writing every day. This week I’ll try for a short story and then we’ll see. Maybe two short stories if I manage to keep the wordcount high! I mean, […]

Wednesday Weekly Roundup

Last week I wrote less than 7K, but I had a busy weekend, so I couldn’t catch up on writing. Also, I realized I had to rewrite a good portion of the current project, and that, too, took time. Hopefully this week I’ll be able to write full speed and finish this by the weekend. […]

Wednesday Weekly Roundup

Last week I wrote almost 10K, and two stories. This week I shall start by checking Mighty Editor’s proofreading and send out a couple of stories on submission, then I can dive in a longer project that I started last year, but couldn’t bring myself to finish. I will, now, and hopefully you’ll see it […]

Wednesday Weekly Roundup

Last week I wrote zero words of fiction, but it was expected, since I was traveling. I took loads of notes, though, and got ideas for at least two short stories besides the novel that was the reason for this research trip. I did a tour of Romania, through Transylvania, Bucovina and Moldova, three very […]

Wednesday Weekly Roundup

And with another 11K I wrapped up the short novel right on time on Sunday, and sent it off to Mighty Editor with the short stories I wrote in the first three months of the year. Next week I’ll have to go through the edits of a manuscript I plan on submitting, then I’ll probably […]

Wednesday Weekly Roundup

Slow and steady, I added another almost-8K words to the novel. I should finish Draft 0 by Sunday so I can go through it next week and send it off the Mighty Editor the following week. Meanwhile she has the short stories from the challenge to keep her busy, LOL! But now I should have […]
