Type in stats #1:

Number of words typed in: 3000 words.  Although a lot of the words on Sunday was brand new, due to a new subplot. Number of Oops discovered: 1.  I realised that for the villain’s motivation to work the princess should be a prince. Minor fix, but major implications. Number of times I dithered about something;  […]

Type in time

So, I reached the point were the new beginning meets the old middle yesterday. Which means that I am starting the type in today.    Before I reached that point, I called Mum and promised stay with her this weekend. Poor Mum, I’ll be so social this weekend. Not. LOL.  Considering how the words are tumbling […]

Slog, slog

I haven’t had any days were the words flowed this week, but the slow and steady has netted me 22 pages so far, or roughly 2000 words.  I have a bit mixed feelings about the draft.  The quality of the draft is… low.  Which can be fixed later, I know.  The fact that I am […]

Weekend ramblings

This weekend was surprisingly busy, but in a good way.  First, I went to a play with  Mum,Dad, my sister and her boyfriend, my brother, aunt and one of my cousins. I am not sure it was the best version of The Ghost Sonata by August Strindberg, since it was shortened and modern. But I […]

Reflections on UK vs US urban fantasy

I finished reading Fated by Benedict Jacka yesterday. Which is a book that I enjoyed a lot*, but as I wrote up my review, I started to think about the differences between the UK set Urban Fantasy and US Urban Fantasy.  Or rather the difference. I haven’t read that many UK set urban fantasy novels […]

Writing update

Look! Two blogposts this week 🙂   The draft is slowly progressing.  Right now I am foreshadowing later events.  Some of it I am aware of, like the fact that she is tracking down something that just doesn’t fit. But other things, I have no idea what I am foreshadowing, just the feeling that it […]

I had forgotten how wonderful it feels

Yesterday, I went into town with no special plan. Which turned out to be a good thing, since it turned out there was something wrong with the Red line, so I travelled two stops, got off, walked towards the green line. And, when I was almost there, I remembered that there was a store selling […]

That was unexpected

Last night, I had one of those moments were several previously unconnected pieces suddenly fit.   And it all came from three lines.  I knew from the beginning of the first draft  that she would get an offer to stay in Korun. While writing the first draft, I also realised that  one of my older ideas […]
