fall in love again (read all 4 entries…)

Yes, my “roommate” and I are still living together. But he drives me crazy and I’ve tried to get him out several times. However, he is unemployed right now and can’t afford to get his own place. What I need now is another bed…

finish in-progress novels (read all 2 entries…)

Plodding Through 3 years ago

As of yesterday I had 71500 words on my novel. There’s still a little more to write, but I should have a solid draft by the end of November. Four years in the making, this novel is my dream. Who knows what will happen with it, but at least it has been written now.

For anyone out there who has a novel hanging over his/her head (you know who you are) I can tell you that it’s a hell of a lot of work. The old annoying advice about working on it every day is true.

stick to a writing schedule (read all 5 entries…)

Really doing it now 3 years ago

Well, I haven’t been on 43 Things in a while. The reason? I have been sticking to my writing schedule, working on the novel that has been hanging over my head for the past four years. And yes, I almost have a draft! So far, it’s 71500 words. Not the heft of Gone With the Wind, but still longer than The Bell Jar and Less Than Zero. Not that size matters…
