Writing Goal for the Day?

[RedHairedandFriendly]

I'm not done with the poems for Survivor yet. I want to get a new mic for my audio ones, as well as for the stories I need to write for that category. I'm working on a Novel/Novella story, waiting for a letter/transcript to be approved, and an edit back on a BDSM tale.

Today's goal --- adding more to Part 2 of my story. I'm at 20K for it and finally reached the half way mark for that particular segment.

So far, so good on the absence of any worse symptoms. Just some minor congestion remaining -- I think I either had two consecutive colds, or colds and allergies combined. Weird.

I'm actually not much on video games, although I do like Tetris and the like. For the Wii, I tend to the sports games that came bundled with it, or maybe Mariokart, but I just love the ocean game. I wouldn't say it's a hobby, but I'm quite interested in marine life and the oceans and all, and so it's really fuin for me to do this, since it's as close as I'll likely ever get to any kind of scuba diving. I have snorkeled, though, and love that.

Glad to here you're on the mend.


I am not a video gamer all that much either. I tend to get motion sickness while playing them. There have only been a small handful that I truly enjoyed. One being ATV Quad Power Racing 2! I loved it!! Told the spouse I needed an ATV so I could do flips and jumps when we went camping. He said, "No."

Play "Endless Ocean," and then tell him you need to get certified to go scuba diving.

Got the first 1000 words of LWTR, chapter 2. That was the easy part. The hard part starts tomorrow.

 

[soflabbwlvr]

2000 words today. This one is humming along nicely. Also, changed the title.

I was well onto writing a good 300-word flash fiction piece when.....my NASCAR Twitter reporters followers - or those that I follow - and I had a plot bunny strike!!!!

"Formula M Racing"
Muscle cars racing road courses, Mustangs, Camaros, and Challengers....American power!!!

lol - I can barely swim underwater without having a panic attack, I don't scuba diving is in my future.


Today I started Part 3, only to get an email back from my editor with some ideas on the previous chapters that make sense, so I'm going through the first 53K and making some editorial changes before going back into Part 3. Then after that I'll know if the story is a 4 part piece of a 5 part. Once all that is done, I'll throw it at the final set of eyes, who requested all the story in one shot. (Poor fellow).

 

[PennLady]

Okay. PennGirl has pre-school. I am no longer sick. Please let this translate into some writing time...

 

[PennLady]

I wrote. I hope to write more later, but hey, it's a start.

 

[RjThoughts]

Done making some BGB'ers pissy, now back to writing notes for the script contest that begins April 1.

 

[SweetMaj]

I've been a little busy with other things in my life lately, but I'll try to write on my
new poem tonight.

 

[RedHairedandFriendly]

Working off and on with editing. On page 24 of 66.

 

[Angellica1612]

I completed the outline and wrote the first chapter of a story about a shapeshifter. It's a bit out of my normal realm, and it took me a while to get into it. Had it on the back burner for a while. Suddenly it clicked, and I worked out the whole plot line and the reasons for what happens, so I'm ready to get it written. I seem to be past my little problem that shall remain nameless that I had going on for a couple of weeks. Yay!

 

[RjThoughts]

Completed another 300-word flash fiction challenge story. Now, going to look for 500, 750, and 1000 word challenges....

 

[sr71plt]

Working on getting a new GM BDSM e-book launched tomorow and doing the final review on a mainstream mystery novella.

 

[lance gt]

Ch 5 submitted and waiting for my place in line for posting, most likely tomorrow, fingers crossed. Ch 6 started and 2200 words of good writing, 1400 of crap deleted.

 

[soflabbwlvr]

Only 1500 words over the last two days. I'm definitely in the most difficult part of the story.

 

[beatrice_dreams]

I wrote. I hope to write more later, but hey, it's a start.

Yay!

A much needed vacation

We're returning home from a week of camping in the middle of a place that had no cell phone reception, and boy, did I need that! For the first time in a couple of months, my mind felt free to think. I even got some writing done. Now that we're returning to the real world, I only hope that the creative juices continue to flow. I'm ready to get down and dirty again (after I've washed off the camping grime, of course).

Good to see you back, Syd. Hope you had a great time.

Thanks, we had an awesome time. Nearly died on a "moderate" day hike that I didn't hydrate for, but I made it out. Now I'm just in pain. Lol.

Have to figure out how to write in an underage rape scene and not get blasted off the site for it. Just the mere mention of the age it happened will kill it I'm sure. It's such a big part of my protag's character make up and it needs to be in there somehow.

Anyone figured out a way to include it in their own stories? No sex, just the mention that it happened and nothing more.

I think the mention that it happened will be okay. I'd just make it one sentence, and perhaps make it fuzzy, such as "some years ago." But others probably have more direct experience with such things and can advise better. It's also probably worth including a note when you submit, pointing out what you've done.

Thanks PL, I'm trying to use other moments in my protag's life to explain the age and let the reader do the math. I'm trying to explain why she is how she is, because of this event in her life.
