Day 10... This is starting to look more like a chronicle of how I'm not writing. I am (I think) halfway through the business paperwork I had allowed to build up. Yes, I know...bad business owner. The nature of my personality, though, is that--whatever I start--I have...

Day 9... "Let’s see how many words I put down tomorrow." Ha! Famous last words! I spent something like eleven (11) to twelve (12) hours yesterday on publishing company paperwork that I had allowed to slide by the wayside. It made for a rather substantial digital...

Day 8! "Lost" another day to life stuff and clearing my head. But...the bright side is that I think I've finally gotten rid of the mental fallout from putting "Fires" together. It's time to write The Fall of Skullkeep. Let's see how many words I put down tomorrow. 😁...

Day 7 of my journey toward 1.5 million words of new fiction... Well, I'm afraid I lost the day to business work and life stuff. No new words. Daily Word Count: 0 Monthly Word Count: 22,479 Total Words in 2021: 184,626

When I wrote that I wanted to set a new monthly record today, I wasn't processing that 'today' is Sunday. Sundays are never a prime writing day for me; there is simply too much going on. Plus, it's good to have that one day with reduced--if not zero--pressure where a...

Here, we are...Day 5 of my journey toward 1.5 million words of new fiction by the end of the year. And it was a good day. 6,821 words. That's a record for July. I doubt I'll set a new record tomorrow, but I hope I'll do so Monday the 12th. It felt good to get these...

So, Day 4 was a bit of an underachiever for me, and that is 100% my fault. I only wrote 1,002 words today, and I wrote them sitting in the waiting room at my local Ford dealership while the superlative staff there to performed some routine maintenance on my vehicle....

Day 3 of my push toward 1.5 million words of new fiction is coming to a close, and yes, it was a productive day. A good day, even. But I'm still not hitting the daily word count I need to meet my goal. That is 100% a time management problem. If I were to copy/paste my...

Hello, folks, and welcome to the second day of my journey toward 1.5 million words by the end of 2021. Today was a much more productive day for me in terms of writing. To my rough eye and fuzzy math, I managed a little over 1.5 times the word count I achieved...

The final volume of my Cole & Srexx series, The Fires of Aurelius, went live today. I finished it back around June 24th, and I have since struggled with my writing being fun. In the wake of completing Fires, I nibbled around the edges of my next major project, The...
