Justice Part 10

10 K again, wrist feeling fine.  Book will 'stop' in about 15k words, and I'll fluff certain sections for the extra 10 k as I go through it in edits.  I retconnec the end of the last chap...

Sword of Justice Part 9

10 K a day has defeated me.  My wrist gave out, too many words.  Good news is that 5k doesn't seem to bother it so I'm going to slow down over the weekend and see if I can pick back up o...

Sword of Justice Part 8

Day 8 of the 10k a day challenge.  The mind is willing but the flesh is weak.  Lefty, the hand I use for all my T's and Q's is starting to cramp up.  Going to muscle through tomorro...

So what's up with the sword of justice

Or, why aren't you working on noobtown?

Writer's block mainly.  I have a beginning (done), a middle (done, and an end (working on it) but the connective tissues between the middle and th...

“Yup, quite cooperative when I explained the situation to him” I replied.

Thoughts?  

Chapter 1: The beginning

“Thanks Tim.”

“No problem, John,” I offered, setting the box down and taking a moment to breath.  John’s grandfather s...

And onto the next

Back to noobtown and I'm getting the notes together for a new book.  Noobtown has crossed the 120k word spot and is moving closer to the 150k or so I typically do for a noobtown story.  I...

One bad roll catapults a group of friends into a new world...

Five friends gather for their usual game night like they have...

Back to Noobtown

Glory to Badgelor, my favorite little rabid snacker.  He's always fun to write for, especially when I get to have him suplex something.  Of course, Kaiju Badgelor's suplexes are world sha...

Fifth Era 2 in Edits

So I submitted the first draft of fifth era over to Aethon's editor.  She loved it, of course, but also finished the edits in like 3 days meaning I'm supposed to get back to it and work on it....

Cracking 100k

So eventually you have to reread everything to get it back on track and then you do and everything starts getting better.  Jim and Charles are having a polite discussion about the merits of ph...

Book 8 continues

I was hoping to crack 100k words this week, but it looks like that's next week's goal.  I've managed to get a number of key scenes tightened down and added a bunch of content in the middle to ...

Mid Book revision

So about half way to two thirds of the way through my books i typically realize that I botched something earlier.  I missed a plot point, or I came up with something that expanded my outline a...

Writing Noobtown 8

I write for scenes.  I have glorious scenes plotted out in my head, and everything is just moving towards or away from that point.  This week I got to write the scene for one of the chara...

Update for this week

Noobtown 8 progressed through the start and middle of the second Act.  I'm setting the stage for the final action of this arc of the story and so far it is shaping up to be quite impressive. 2023-02-05 23:53:09 +0000 UTC View Post

Noobtown 8 progress

So I am a big fan of the 3 act structure and Noobtown is broken into 3 acts.  The first act is done (99% unless I see something neat to add) and then there are the other two acts.  

SueLeeta’s Interesting Day Part 1 (Between Mayor and Village)

(So turns out writing a single 5k story is not what I do.  I'm going to write a SueLeeta short story with something like 3-5 chapters interspersed with HATS.  I do like discovering new th...

No Chapter This week

So I reviewed my manuscript for Fifth Era Number 2, in preparation for sending it off to the editors for over 30 hours last week.  Always a good, if really boring and time consuming, time. &nb...

Bashara’s Uneventful Visit Part 2.

(I like Bashara, always have.  This story explains a bit of her backstory. )

“Get off of me,” growled Bashara as she left the moron there and tried to reconcile what just happened in...

Hammer and the Sword Chapter 1 Duty (20 years BJ)

“You can’t be serious?”

“I don’t know, you hardly seem the traditional type.  ...

Hammer and the Sword, Prologue

I'd like to wish everyone a happy Grebthar's day, and Christmas too for that matter.  Make sure your badger traps are carefully laid out and keep your fridge under observation.  Any missi...

Tower of Noobs Purge

As per my Kindle Unlimited contract, all copies of Tower of Noobs have been removed from my Pateron.  Out of my hands, sorry.  I'll resume posting something in the near future, maybe some...
