So. Stuff.

Back in the olden days, when I was anticipating my first release from Spice, I set up a couple Google Alerts to notify me when someone was talking about me on the internet. They still bring me alerts now and again. I deleted them today. I don’t want to know what anyone’s saying about me [...]

Thursday pages

So far, 11 pages and I’m stopping to work on the synopsis and revise some pages. I’m very very close to the end but I’ve realized that some of the stuff I think might happen at the end won’t or will happen differently depending on what I do in editing, so rather than waste my [...]

progress again

“only” 15 pages today, but I had some other stuff to do. Also, spent time thinking about what, exactly, needed to happen, so then I had to take the time for that. line of the day: The movie they saw wasn’t the best, but their fingers making butter-slicked secret assignations in the popcorn was.

Progress

21 pages of hot mess (approx. 5250) which is odd, since it was actually more pages on the Neo than yesterday but somehow didn’t translate to the same when I transferred it! line of the day: Her laugh matched the junk around them, rusty and full of sharp spikes. Man, the closer I get to [...]

And one more for the morning…

I want to write 20 pages today. I did 17 Monday, 16 Tuesday (but finished them much earlier than I had the 17 the day before…) Today I want to write 20. I’m nearing the end of this book, though it will need mucho editing, but that’s fine. You can’t edit what you haven’t written. [...]

Seth

So…Jason is now Seth. It’s interesting, writing a book that’s not a romance but that has a romance in it. By this I mean that many of the books I’ve written over the past couple years haven’t felt like writing “a romance” for one reason or another. I’ve written romances. I feel a difference. (Tempted?

HOWz it going…

More writing. It might be futile, but I’m finishing this book in about a month. 16 pages today (approx. 4000 words) lines of the day: Lena got up on one elbow to look over Harry’s shoulder at his sleeping brother. “Well. No woman will ever come between you, that’s for sure.” Harry didn’t laugh at [...]

HOW about that?

15 pages today. lines of the day: He hadn’t expected to be asked to speak, but when the preacher called his name, Harry rose. He hadn’t prepared anything to say, but he knew how it felt to be in front of a crowd. This was just a different kind of show, that was all. I [...]
