Evil Overlord List

26 November 2005

This was pretty good. Remind me to refer to it if/when I ever have an Evil Overlord (TM) character in any of my stories.
My dungeon will have its own qualified medical staff complete with bodyguards. That way if a prisoner becomes sick and his cellmate tells the guard it’s an emergency, the guard will fetch [...]

I’m doing more timed events. I like keeping track of actual time spend in writing, and I also like knowing how many words per minute I write. Yeah, I know, I’m anal. Accept it and move on, folks.

NaNoNoProgress?

9 November 2005

I’m having a crap day. But then, when I mentioned it to Fahim, he said that my third day into writing is always like this, so it’s just my usual resistance popping up and wreaking havoc. Eh. It’ll pass. Or not.
I think I’ll force myself to write 4 pages. Just 4. Enough that it’s not [...]

On being blocked

7 November 2005

Being blocked is temporary. I’ve been there, done that. My dry well lasted a good half year, but I was emotionally ruined after the tsunami. I got it back. You can get yours back, too.
Have you written any fiction lately? Do you know how you write fiction best? How you write non-fiction is not necessarily [...]

Writing Crap for NaNoWriMo?

7 November 2005

Some people feel stifled at writing crap for NaNoWriMo.
Well, then don’t write crap. Spend a few minutes or an hour or whatever and plot something, or snowflake it, or use whichever method works for you to plan something that will be good enough that you’ll remain motivated to write.
Personally, I’m not writing crap for NaNo. [...]

NaNoWriMo Begins!

7 November 2005

I know, I know, it began on November 1st. But today is my first day of writing for it, so nyah!
In my first timed 20 minutes, I wrote a sad and pathetic 465 words. Oh joy. Only 49,535 words to go. *rolls eyes*
Alright, in the interests of numbers, I’ll be doing timed exercises.
15 minutes

478 words [...]

NaNoWriMo 2005

I’m starting writing tomorrow morning, as soon as my article is done, so perhaps 8:30 or 9am, and I’m going MAD. MAD, I tell you. Muwahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!
I’m going to see how much I can write today. Because I’m insane, of course. Anyone joining me for a MAD day?
Oh, come on! You want to, you know you [...]

Sewing machines and NaNoWriMo

3 November 2005

Yeesh! Maybe you should’ve gone for the non-motor pedal sewing machine after all. [Roll Eyes]

Now that you mention it, yeah, it might have been a good idea.
The pants didn’t work. Long story, involving 25% shrinkage in the wash and desire for using daggers or other long piercing instruments of torture on the manufacturers of [...]
