The Floating Cat

So it’s the second of November… and I’m not writing a novel. *shudder*
It feels so strange not to be writing this year. Something feels missing not having every evening, every thought, and every moment of the month of November consumed by writing. Not devoting all my time to creative writing just feels weird.
I’m, of course, better […]

After much pain and suffering (at least it felt that way), I have met the NaNoWriMo 2005 challenge and my second novel, Bag of Snow, has reached the 50,000 word mark.
Yay!
It ends on a cliffhanger, so I still have at least 2 more chapters to write. Hopefully I’ll get to those in the middle of December.

Against my better judgement, I’m still hanging in there with the whole NaNoWriMo thing. Why? No clue. I guess I don’t want to fail…
As of this post, I’ve finally caught up with the necessary daily word count since the start of the ‘competition’. So far about 22000 words, almost half way.
If you’d like, you can read the […]

After some deliberation, I’ve decided to continue with NaNoWriMo. Or at least, I’ll try to.
I almost didn’t write tonight, but with a newspaper article about the event and the fact that the word count graph is now online I decided to make a go. I decided to forego a bit of sleep so that I could […]

How long has it been since an update…? 68 days!?! Maybe I should finally publish the new main site’s layout versus hesitating until it’s all done. Well it’ll have to wait until December at the least.
Anyway, I’ve gone ahead and set up a new side blog for this year’s NaNoWriMo challenge. This year I hope to […]

Today marks the 8th year that this website has been online in some shape or form. Even the very first bit of content is still online. No surprise eh?
I still plan on adding a “real” blog. Too bad work, life, and especially video games get in the way.
It is also too bad that you have to have […]

Here it is 1:30 am in the morning of December 1, 2004 and I’ve just published the final chapter of Rusted Halo.
I didn’t just want to hit that magical 50k mark, but I also wanted to have a complete story.
That is what I ended up with late on November 30th.
Now all that is left is to edit the […]

Here is it, like 2 AM and I have just finished posting the last bit of Rusted Halo to get me over the 50,000 word mark! The story isn’t finished, it’s close, but I’ll be finishing it within the next two days.
Amazing that this huge weight is now off of my shoulders. I’m not done yet […]

As of Tuesday night, I was at 28,000+ words for my novel Rusted Halo. That is over halfway through the whole NaNoWriMo project. I’m feeling pretty good about it as a whole, and I think the detail and plot are very strong. The theme and concepts might not be appealing to everyone, but I beleive […]

I broke the 12,000 word count this Sunday. I’m really starting to like the story I’m writing, and looking forward to the next batch of content that’s coming up. The next chapter is going to be a turning point for the protagonist, and is something I’ve been planning since the beginning. We’ll have to see […]
