See the PEBA
Okay, it’s been a bit more than a month since the last update. Yeah, I’ve been busy, but this is the danged 2010’s right? No excuses for not frittering away my time here. Anyway, the news is that I’ve now completed the second draft of the baseball book, which, BTW, is now officially titled “See […]
Read More ...Draft Done!
Call it a Ron-only Novel Dare. Call it a delayed NaNoWriMo. Call it what you will, but at the end of the day what I’ve actually got is a complete first draft novel in a total of 31 days–probably some 55K words. Pretty danged cool. I sat down to write this baseball-ish fantasy on November […]
Read More ...A Wave of Words
Yeah, I know. It’s been awhile. But don’t worry…I’ve not fallen by the wayside. Not too far, anyway. I should start this by saying out loud that I had no intention of doing anything like a NANOWRIMO. I was in the middle of this science fiction thing, you see? That science fiction thing I’ve been […]
Read More ...Conversations With Story
I’ve been avoiding the obvious for the past couple days. By this I mean that I’ve been working on this book, and struggling to get what I’ve been considering The Last Big Piece of the puzzle to fall. (Please note, that when I say “Last Big Piece”, what I really mean is “Latest Barrier Keeping […]
Read More ...Rewrite – Phase I Complete
I completed the first phase of my rewrite of “Gene Splice” just a few minutes ago, which is great. I focused completely on structural stuff this time–and there were a few things I fixed. As with my last rewrite effort, anything I thought was “just” an issue of the moment I jotted down to remember […]
Read More ...Writing Prompt?
I’m thinking that if you can’t write a story based on this, you’re not trying hard enough. Progress Report: I didn’t mean to go in this direction at all, but I’ve found myself about 60% through a rewrite of another of my earlier novels. This one’s origin was my very first Novel Dare (think NaNoWriMo […]
Read More ...One Cool Morning
Life is pretty danged cool this morning. First, I decided I needed to make some small changes to the structure of the book I’m working on. The story involves subliminal travel (as well as some FTL travel, but that’s not relevant to this conversation). This meant I got to spend two hours playing with time […]
Read More ...Picking up the Pace
Things are definitely moving faster now that I’ve gotten through my tussle with the two pilots. I’ve winged through four chapters this morning, and will probably get a couple more before my brain starts to fade. Easily crossed the halfway point of the book, and I now suppose it’s possible I might actually complete the […]
Read More ...Easy Writing
Okay, here is a sentence I never thought I would ever type. I’m finding Frank Sinatra music is easy to write to. Yes, me. Frank Sinatra. Got a problem with that? I guess it’s all those 4-4 beats and jaunty melodies, but it just kind of keeps the fingers going–at least it did this morning. […]
