Back to writing

  Ahhhhh, good to be back in the "throne of writing"(tm).  After the past days of writing workshops and reading about writing and talking about writing, it's good to be back actually writing again!
  I got two or two and a half solid hours of writing in.  I did some editing of the preview pages to get myself in the groove (that worked, by the way, thanks Dave).  Before long I was finished with Chapter one.  Again. 
  This is the second time tackling the beginning of the second novel.  I think it'll go a little better this time.  Regardless, I'm not going to go backwards again until it's time to revise.  I want to keep charging forward.  Forward momentum, as Miles Vorkosigan might say.
  My goal is to have the first draft done by June 30.  I think I can do it if I stay focused.  I got buy-in from the wife so she's more or less ok with me hibernating in my den most nights.
  Anyway, only four pages done but I think they're good pages.  As importantly, I'm having fun, writing.
  Now I've got to see if I can find some kind of progress bar addin for the main page.  I like what Brandon Sanderson did with his.  (http://www.brandonsanderson.com/

    I'm a lightly-published author with several novels completed and I hope to have them up on Amazon shortly.

    I also have a short story in the anthology, Bless Your Mechanical Heart, published by Evil Girlfriend Media. And I have a new story in Psi Phi Journal issue #3, both available on Amazon.
      
    I have 4 cats, one wife, one dog and a lot of guns.  But that's not what this blog is about. This is all about the writing. 


    My email is MarkAndrew88@gmail.com, I'm on Facebook but email works best for contact. Facebook is evil.
