Day Six, Pixie Stix

Had a great idea today for rounding out an old story of mine. No time to write it up today (or probably tomorrow either), but I did write it down so I won't forget.
Work was good today, but tomorrow will probably see the end of the job - there wasn't as much to it as I had originally thought. Still, I do have other work on the roster for later, so I'll do fine.
Also got a great review today for Cavanaugh's Cure, which is always nice.
I suppose I will have to tell people to come check out my blog here if I expect them to come read it {*~*}. Meanwhile, it will be a good place to simply get myself back into the habit of writing everyday.

Day Five, Still Alive

I am impressed with the snowflake outlining method mentioned yesterday. I worked on outlining my novel for about 3 hours today and discovered a lot of things about the story and the characters that will move the story forward from where it has been stalled for most of the past three months. I highly recommend it http://www.advancedfictionwriting.com...

Day Four, Two Stories? Score!

Got on a roll with the writing last night and finished the story I mentioned yesterday. Love to keep the trend going for a third day, but have a few other things to take care of first - primarily, trying out a new outline technique for my novel. I have a good feeling about that.

AS for last night's story, I will push that one to the head of the workshop list because I feel it's a better story. It's also longer and therefore stands to make me some money, whereas Thursday's story is barely over a page. I won't charge for my flash fiction until I can compile an anthology.

Day Three, Yay For Me

After a long period of not much work coming in I got a call yesterday about a job that will probably take me all of next week to complete. Living frugally as I do, that paycheck should last me all month, and I already have promises of jobs to begin the week after which will allow me to finally make a long-delayed repair to my truck.
On the writing front, I finished the story I mentioned yesterday and will present it before my writer's workshop on Wednesday... if no major changes are suggested I will post it on here and on Smashwords that night. Meanwhile, I have an idea for yet another story, but it's a longer one and may take 'til next week to finish.

Day Two, Nothing New

Well, except for a new friend who recently joined the site - hello Mike. Had an odd idea for a new story, which should be up sometime next week - if anyone ever reads this, be sure to look for it {*~*}.

Day One

Well, this is exciting! I have no idea what to write, but feel I should put something up to commemorate the creation of my new author page. I will try to post something here everyday. That will be simple at first, but hopefully my sales will take off and I will not have time to blog {*~*}. Anyone reading this daily rambling who wants to know something specific, just say so.
