I’m pondering: Is it better to have characters that grow or readers that are changed?

Taking the opening pages of “Dispensing Justice” to AAAWG / writers group tonight.

Inspirration struck! @amwriting

Yesterday’s web-site tutorial went well. I’m expanding the resulting notes and links. Read the rest of this entry »

Silencing my phone. About to watch ‘Sherlock Holmes’.

Looking forward to the AAAWG potluck this evening.

AAAWG notes (as relayed by Pelly and Winters) – http://bit.ly/40LYBx

That is, submit it to the AADL short-story contest by Sept. 1st.

I’m putting my latest story into beta today and planning on starting to read it at AAAWG tomorrow as I’d like to submit to the AADL shor …

@lafreya1 — That’s what I thought. A little late-night word-fugue is to be expected. Look forward to hearing your new stuff on Tuesday.

Off to a good start on my latest short story, “Stealing a Seed of the Giving-Tree”, the second Kregar the Dimlander story.

@lafreya1 — Usual or Unusual?

Sitting at the mall while Merideth and her friends wander about. At least I can work on edits to “A Sword in the Spokes”.

Snowday! But its April…!?

@abuonarroti Are you guys going to be at the Magic Chocolate Shop this afternoon? And if so, when?

@lafreya1 Yeah, I feel term “barf” resonates nicely with the process.

@abuonarroti I suppose I could call it the Spew or Upchuck Phase, but I don’t think Regurgitate Phase works (unless you’re plagiarizing).

As of yesterday, I’m almost a thousand words into “A Sword in the Spokes”, so I might finish the barf phase before the end of the month.

Off to the cafe to write some more “A Sword in the Spokes”, the 2nd Pelly & Winters story.

“Lair of the Feathered Termites” polish phase is finished. Beta readers welcome.

@abuonarroti Not today, but I would be interested in such coffee and writing meet-up some other time. What cafe is that?

@abuonarroti I just got my laptop back from Merideth (she was playing Sims 2) and am doing a bit of writing. Oh, and I made chicken cur …

Started the polish pass on “Lair of the Feathered Termites”. Transformation from 3rd to 1st person is fun!

@abuonarroti Oh, all right. But I was going to write something blazingly funny. (For which, you will just have to take my word).

@abuonarroti Nervous I think. It is the revenge of the Chickens (as they are now believed to be distant descendent of T-Rex).
