My writing spreadsheet

24 September 2004

You can download it if you like.
I mentioned it in an earlier post – it’s a spreadsheet I use to keep track of what I’m writing – current projects like articles, novels, etc. and any other goals I have going on.

On setting and achieving goals

23 September 2004

Plotting

17 September 2004

How do you plot/outline?
I’m curious about people’s ways of outlining. At first I thought I *should* . . .
There’s no *should* in plotting.  Everyone’s different.  I need to plot – I get stuck without it.  In other words, writer’s block. Fahim, also a writer, [...]

Interesting stats

10 September 2004

Over on my BIW list, a discussion has taken place.
I did a simple statistical crunch of the data from six months here, and you’re most likely to succeed if you goal 25 pages or less, or 100 pages or more.
