As you can probably tell from the dearth of new material here, I’ve been a bit busy lately. I’d love to say I’m working on some exciting new project, but the truth is I’ve been sick, traveling, working, or combinations of the above. It has succeeded in making Jack a dull boy, so I’m going [...]

We wrote our first few words for Script Frenzy this evening. Yes, it has begun again with the oh-so-simple-sounding EXT. ALLEYWAY - NIGHT.
Who knows where it will lead, though? Will our hero find a way to save his girl from certain doom? Will our heroine find a way to let this blockhead know that he’s [...]

(A kind of unicorn chaser, yes.) If you liked the idea of writing a novel in a month, what do you think of writing, recording, and editing an entire album in a month? Better yet, how about doing it in the shortest month of the year?
The RPM Challenge is to record 35 [...]

I can tell you with some certainty that I’m going to write a screenplay in a month this summer. A novel was fun to write — and yes, you’ll see a draft of it — but a screenplay? Now that’s what I’m talkin’ about. I’ve had scripts running around in my head for years and [...]

Whew! Just under the wire, too. The final word of the final chapter was written on the final day, and that word was “mage.” It’s not as breathtaking as “scar,” perhaps, but I’ll take it.
Unfortunately for Patrick, the space monkeys didn’t make another appearance. Perhaps they can be added in when the book is being [...]

I am also a big winner, and I finished my story. I shall not hide it because I like attention. It can use a ton of editing, though, and input from people who know more about space science than I do. Anyway,
I hope that works!!

Look at me. I’ve got that yellow tape across my chest from bursting through the finish line. My story’s not quite done, but the NaNoWriMo folks don’t care: I hit 50,000 words and they gave me this keen icon. Wasn’t that nice?
Now, to finish the story and find a nice dark drawer to put it [...]

I just finished Chapter 12, which means there are only 4 to go, about 6000 words. I’m on track to finish this just in time, assuming there’s no blatant falling down between now and Thursday night. I may not blog between now and then, because it’s been hard to think of anything but finishing. Yesterday [...]

This is the point where blogging isn’t so attractive, so imagine something witty here. It’s a bit of a slog to get to 35,000 words, which (despite what the little sticker says) is my goal by the end of tomorrow. Still, I’ve successfully imprisoned both of my main characters, and I think they’ll most likely [...]

Not much to write about today, but I feel obligated to do so. (I think that comes with the territory.) Chapter 8 is finished now, which means 6 chapters to go. I’m well into the part of my outline that has the most question marks, so the characters have started doing their own driving. All [...]
