Sporadic Blogging
Sounds a bit like a weird disease. Hmm.
I did, actually, get 58k words written during NaNoWriMo for deAngelis, which was a lot less than I thought I would get, but still actually pretty good all the same. I then hit a bit of a lag and haven't written much, if at all, for the last month, but there's been a few changes going on that I think will enable me to write more and better. I do, actually, finally have the plot FIXED. I know I said that several times over the last half-dozen posts or so, but it's actually true this time. The plot is finished.
There's really not a whole lot to say. I'm cleaning up what I wrote during NaNoWriMo and then moving on to finish the rest of the novel (looks like we're going to end up at about 100k words, which really ain't bad at all).
Currently reading Thunderer by Felix Gilman. Usually I have a hard time reading books like this. His prose is wonderful and the world-building is fantastic and the characters are GREAT, but the whole "city of filth" theme really gets to me. It's the main reason I didn't care for Perdido Street Station. China Mieville is brilliant, but it was just so... crude, in a way. I needed more hope in the writing, and I didn't get it. Hoping that I get something different out of Thunderer.
At any rate, suppose I should get some food in me, get some writing done, and then get ready to go MST Season of the Witch with some friends.
