  1. Ugh. How did it get from 2am to 4am?
  2. 500 words! 4500 left before AW!
  3. Much is good about Whatever. But I want to link to the Snakes on a Plane! entry anyways. sorry. http://www.scalzi.com/whate...
  4. Reading ancient archives of Scalzi's Whatever. (2005 is ancient. 2006 is pretty old. Time moves faster and faster.)
  5. If you really must flashback--which should be a last resort, and needs care--see this advice: http://tinyurl.com/28mlmm
  6. going to do another 5000 words of penance before returning to AW
  7. 5,319! I can visit AbsoluteWrite! (Although, the last 1132 stretch was accomplished free-writing about a few backgrounds for characters.)
  8. 4187 out of 5000 words. I foresee logging onto AW late Monday night. By the way, Bell's _Plot & Structure_ really is quite excellent.
  9. 3,641 ! And now I have some interesting minor characters....
  10. 3,170 words. Only 1,830 left! Easy pease! I hate writer's block.
  11. I will go back through my work and murder all stupid or pointless similes.
  12. 3000w closer to my target of 5000w before visiting AW again. It's a short story, and it's fun.
  13. At times like these I'm glad for Scrivener's red annotation function. Don't stop now; "[insert better joke here]" and the like.
  14. As I write, I think, "Ah... good stuff." I look at it an hour later: "I don't deserve to be a writer :'-( " Just keep going, going, going...
  15. @warrenellis Twitter just regurgitated disappeared sends. They show up where they would have been, had Twitter been working @ creation time.
  16. As my favorite author says, SEND POISON goodnight
  17. Eh? Why does TH say only two ways: outline FULL, outline NONE? Ever heard of plan chapters as you go? Silly man. http://tinyurl.com/2lyoak
  18. I discover I'm too tired to write, still. Awake since I had a disturbing dream about a character breakdown. Villain actually. Fun. Sleep.
  19. I have an outline I'm fairly happy with for the next five chapters or so (fading as it progresses) so should be ready for 5000w later today.
  20. What were they all doing before this? My minor-major characters are now interesting. So is the plot. Still need 5000w before visiting AW.
