142,082 words on TWISTED VINES.  I'm getting there folks.  Slowy but surely I'm getting there.  I'm nearing the death of a main character in the story and I admit that it's going to be hard to right for a number of reasons.  I've grown attached to all of these characters as if I know them personally and killing one is going to be a little hard for ( Read more... )

I am FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY nearing the last chapters of Twisted Vines.  If I had to guess I'd say the last two chapters.  I'm going to start plotting out the final fight scenes tonight and get started on those.  It feels good to know you're almost near the end of your first novel. 

Finished a short story today.  "Gamble With Eternity" is only in its first draft so I'll have to touch up on it some but that's okay because at least the story is there.

Up to 139,029 words on Twisted Vines now.  The end draws nearer.  I know I keep saying that but it's true. 

Got a lil over a thousand words done on TWISTED VINES and GAMBLE WITH ETERNITY.  Both stories are flowing fairly well for me.  I'm trying to hurry up with Gamble for a specific reason so I'm probably going to be focusing more on that in the coming days.   So I said was going to talk about two books I had just finished recently.

Those books are CITY ( Read more... )

Ok so writing is still going a little slower than I would like, but hey at least I'm getting words down.  I think I'll get into the groove soon.   I got 838 words in on TWISTED VINES and 279 words on GAMBLE WITH ETERNITY.   I think I'll get some more done later today though and hopefully have a much better update for tomorrow ( Read more... )

Ok actually got a tiny bit of writing in today.   Got 1521 words done on TWISTED VINES, my big fantasy novel.  It's nearing the end.  I can feel it and that's a pretty good feeling.  I'm determined to have that monster of a novel done this year.  Editting it is going to be as big a task as writing it was I'm sure.  The novel currently sits at 133, ( Read more... )

Ok so I didn't get a whole lot of writing done yesterday, but I did map out a couple of short stories.  Project titles for the three ideas are "Dark Objects", "Devil Knocking at My Door", and "Monster Nobility".  So hopefully I'll be able to get in some actual writing today.

So this month I'm going to cut down all my writing some and just focus on my original work for this month.   See just how much I get done and I can do it without too much guilt because I'm pretty much caught up on all of my titles. And just to make some use of this journal a bit more I'm going to write about my progress ,as often as I can, ( Read more... )

Weapon X Crossover Thoughts

When Erik first got me on board at MA to do X-Force he let me know that this crossover was going to be the crux of the site’s X-Line and would really be what set us apart from everyone. I can say with a big wipe of my forehead that this crossover went off successfully and is really a crossover of consequence, especially ( Read more... )

Elementals #7 by Ed Ainsworth

THE GOOD: Ed is a godsend for someone like myself who LOVES obscure characters and the function they play in fanfic.   I never thought anyone outside of myself would ever think The Godstalker would be a cool character to bring into a fanfic story, but apparently I was wrong. And I was very happy to be it because Ed ( Read more... )
