Interesting day today. Had a Very Cool Email(tm) that might be promising. We'll see.

More writing on breaks today. I feel the need to work on characters for SB.

Oh, and long, frantic writing weekends? SO not good for the diet. *sigh*

Word Goal for the day: 750 - made 895

Starting line: It was like looking in a mirror – a mirror that gave me colored contacts and a strange emerald aura about myself.

Ending line: “Now wait just one minute.” Ice slipped down my back. “What meshing?”

Darling: From this perspective, I could see the two layers of energy I had sensed: the wraith, which lay like tar over her skin, and another, a drab purple, that intermingled in the tar like oil in water.

Very odd, writing this scene. It's pivotal to the entire book, I've been building up to it for a very long time...and yet, I find myself wanting to just be done with it, so I can go write the other stuff. :)

The rest of the book is going to move very fast - I'm finding that I can easily hit my 750 in about 45 minutes. Which is good, because I don't have long to write currently. *sigh* Sorry to everyone who's following SB - it's on the back burner at the moment, so I can concentrate on other stuff. But at least now I have characters for that, and I'll be doing some more with it soon.

Now to bed, so I can get up tomorrow and do it all over again.

I got words today!!!

Yay!!!

Metrics for Belladonna Dreams

Word Goal for the day: 750 - made 1768

Starting line: Especially considering who had set them.

Ending line: “It’s my diary,” she’d said. “It might help you understand a bit more about what’s going on in the house.”

Darling: Her hair was scraggly, and coated with the grease of ages. Wings grew out her back, feathers black as midnight and dulled with the residual blood of her victims. Her body was covered with down, matted and soiled, and her legs were those of a great bird of prey. In one hand, she held a horn filled with something noxious; in the other, a knotted whip of briars.

It feels really good to be writing again. So, in honor of writing, here are my goals for the week:

- 750 words on Dreams a day.
- 2 pages of worldbuilding on SB every other day day
- 1 page of script for Wings every other day
- 10 pages of editing on Seasons a day

I know, I know, it's a lot. But I want to keep working on them all. So I figure I'll work on Seasons at work (got my printout and my red pen there), as well as alternate SB and Wings. We'll see how I'm doing at the end of the week.

I've got more editing to do too, and a crit that I owe. So my week will be full.

Saw Ghost Rider today. No spoilers, but damn, it gave me some ideas for Nikki. Too bad they're trademarked. :p

Sleep now.
