Weekly Log – July 27: In Recovery. Again.
25,797 words last week. Although it’s not on my Primary production schedule, I spent Primary writing time finishing a 20K novella for an anthology that I am committed to. The deadline was nagging me. Sitting at the back of my brain and blipping every time I thought about my schedule. I decided to get it

Weekly Log – July 20: Not a good week
0 words last week. …and yeah, I’m technically plotting a book, but plotting a book doesn’t usually take me a whole week. So I’m sliding backwards again. I’d like to blame it on the heat. Endless days of record heat and even my basement office becomes unbearable. But that’s going to be a normal thing

Weekly Log – July 13: Stabilizing.

Weekly Log – July 6: Still scrambling.
16,883 words last week. Last week went pretty much exactly how I thought it would go. Canada Day, first family gathering in nearly two years, and heat. Man, that heat really socked me in the jaw. I grew up with half my year being that hot and dry, but after twenty-five years living next to

How Do You Know You’re in Flow?
You’ve probably heard before about writers reaching that sublime state of “flow” where nothing exists but the story they’re telling, and they feel a deep satisfaction when they’re done. But if you’ve never reached that state of flow yourself, you might not be sure about what it really means. I can reach a state of

Weekly Log – June 29: There’s always *something* to stop you writing…
24,357 words last week. In last week’s log post, I had presumed that this week (the one just gone) would be a catchup week. Ha. I forgot, at the time, that we had our second COVID-19 vaccination shots booked for the Wednesday. We got Pfizer this time, not the Astra Zeneca vaccine, but for two
