(writing) Metrics for a snowy Jan. 1

Got 1286 words written on the outline for Last Rites tonight. More tomorrow, but I'm pleased with the way it's going. I'm going to pause tomorrow and work on the first scene before Writer's Group, so I have SOMETHING for folks to read, but I think I could finish this outline by the end of the weekend. I certainly hope so.

Cleaned about a third of the office today. I can work in here now. This is a good thing.

A more coherent post tomorrow, with goals. Maybe. :p

Happy New Years!

(personal/writing) Snowpocalypse, Day 2

Yes, I went to bed at 1:30 am and am up, bathed, dressed and fed at 8:30 am. I know, unnatural. But there it is.

Snow is still falling - that small, determined flake that shows up and hangs in the air for days on end. argus7hills has already been out to shovel once. My turn next. Somehow, I'm thinking writer's group may not happen, although I haven't been over to the list to check yet. But that's ok. I'll just dig in and write all day (I might WoW tonight, depending on how much I've done.) Pictures later, maybe.

Before I forget, here are the goals for 2010:

* Finish and submit Last Rites to my publisher
* Get vg-ford.com up and running again
* Podcast Not Your Father's Horseman
* Write the rough draft of The Shattering of Olympus

There might be more in there, but those are the main goals.

(personal) The Lair

This is where I've been writing lately, now that it's clean! It's where I will be podcasting later this year.
