HTT, my current #WIP, has reached a milestone - 10% of the #firstdraft. Well... I guess I anticipate it to be 10% done. Who knows at this stage?

The first draft isn’t supposed to be good. It’s supposed to exist. Every writer you admire wrote something messy before they wrote something great. Permission to write the bad one is permission to start.

#Writing Report: 752 words. The scene I worked on was difficult and it took a different turn than I expected, but I think I'm pretty satisfied with the result.

In the words of Christian rock band Petra, IT IS FINISHED! The #firstdraft of my latest #JackDinero #novel, Christmas in Creosote Canyon, is in the can at a whopping 150,000 words! That's literally 3 #NanoWrimo novels worth of content that I wrote in the last 3 months! It's in a rough state and I've got to trim out a third of that if I want it to be publication ready, but at least I can take the summer off and still have it ready in time for #Christmas . #novel #ya #youngadult #teen #lgbt

Popular genre fiction runs on a recognizable emotional engine. We come to these books for a specific feeling. Tension, wonder, desire, fear, catharsis, justice, escape.

Plan smart, write fast, finish strong: my guide to writing a novel in 30 days
Soon it will be NaNoWriMo time! The official National Novel-Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) organisation closed earlier this year, but the writing world is still hard wired to Nano in November, come what may.

The chapter is done. Is it good? Not really. But that's not the point at this stage. #amWriting #firstdraft

Anyhow
Not only can I not be anywhere else
I cannot be anyhow else
Anyone else
But myself, here, now.
After decades of not being
(In any meaningful way)
Anyone, anyhow, anywhere.Anyhow is a linguistic segue –
How appropriate that it is now, anyhow,
That I am in the midst of
A slide, a shift in how I am, who I am,
Where I am, and what I am.
I'm incomplete, ill-formed
I'm undone, re-done…
not done. -
Another sketch of cowboys from this minute. It is messy, i know. #Firstdraft #ballpoint is a little foreign to me.

I'm working on a spin-off series from my Detective Jud Jeffreys books. Might end up being novellas, not sure. I only began 9 days ago and have over 25000 words in my first draft done. Smooth going for once.
