Cold Streets is closer than ever to the end of the first draft. I have a few changes I think I’ll be making before test readers are contacted, so I guess they’ll be seeing a second draft, or perhaps draft 1.5 – either way, I’m on the cusp of switching gears between writing and editing,… Continue reading Writer Report: Supernatural Inspiration

Writer Report: The Wall
Courtesy Floating Robes It’s been said before, and I’ll go ahead and say it again: You have to fight for your time to write. You have to carve it out of your day with a butcher’s cleaver and a variety of other sharp objects. You need to covet those bloody chunks and make the most… Continue reading Writer Report: The Wall
Writer Report: Struggle Within
I’m still not back to 100% on my regimens. The gym gets skipped or skimped on from time to time, finances continue to present challenges, I’m behind on getting Magic decks together, and oh yeah, I need to make more time to write. At least my brain has been active. The very nature of Godslayer… Continue reading Writer Report: Struggle Within
Writer Report: Can't Talk. Working.
Courtesy Floating Robes This has been a week of, frankly, getting back in the goddamn saddle. My workouts are up, my dayjob is going well, and I’m back to writing in Cold Streets at the average rate of 350 words per weekday. Not much else to report, if I’m honest. And I’m a bit busy… Continue reading Writer Report: Can't Talk. Working.
One Of Those Hiccups
Sometimes things just don’t go right. Things at home have been a bit in flux of late, and a mishap & slip of my own mind had me forget to enable my alarm this morning. As a result, I ended up running behind. I opted for hitting the gym over completing any writing, and ended… Continue reading One Of Those Hiccups
Writer Report: Ongoing Change
Things continue to change around here, mostly for the better. The workout regimen is causing some pain, but I expected that. My gym membership entitles me to a free training session, which I will use to ensure I’m executing my lifts correctly, and also that I’m using the right apparatus for attempts at chin-ups. Some… Continue reading Writer Report: Ongoing Change
Writer Report: Goals and Targets
I’ve been dropping words here and there into Cold Streets this week. I have the feeling that I’m reaching the top of the hill, and that in a couple hundred words, things are just going to take off. Moreso than the first novella, this one is taking its time getting to really juicy peril, and… Continue reading Writer Report: Goals and Targets
Writer Report: Blog State
While working on Cold Streets does take up most of my writing time, I do take notice of trends here on the blog. And it seems to me that my hits have diminished somewhat over the past week. I’m not sure why this is, but I’m going to keep at it. I have plenty of… Continue reading Writer Report: Blog State
Writer Report: Momentum
After a long dry spell, it’s nice to have the feeling of getting writing accomplished again. I’m still not entirely sure what was keeping me from making progress on Cold Streets. I guess my time management skills still wax and wane after all of this time. After playing Spec Ops and The Walking Dead (review… Continue reading Writer Report: Momentum
Writer Report: All Quiet On The Writer's Front
This has not been the best of weeks in my writing career. I have several good reviews lined up, plenty to discuss in terms of gaming, a solid outline for Cold Streets, and traction on the fantasy rewrite. Yet I’m continuing to struggle in carving out the time I know I need to get things… Continue reading Writer Report: All Quiet On The Writer's Front
