I know I’ve been awful about updating here, but today I have some real news to share on one of my projects.
For months I’ve been working on getting the first e-book in a new series for Web writers put together. I drafted it. I sent it out for feedback with several folks. I made a [...]

Three Weeks - My Biggest Hurdle So Far
Posted at 10:27 pm | Filed Under First Drafts, My Projects
I’ve been trying to get back into the groove of working on Three Weeks (the humourous novel I’m working on for anyone new). I’ve definitely run into what’s likely to be my biggest hurdle in novel writing, with this project and future ones. I need to find a way to get past it.
That hurdle is [...]

Just wanted to update you on the e-book progress. All writing, addenda pieces, etc. are FINISHED! I’m sending it off for a couple of previously agreed upon reviews of the basic content, and I’ll be proofreading it later today and / or tomorrow (need a few hours away from it).

Weekend Workload - Light but Productive
Posted at 10:16 pm | Filed Under E-Books, First Drafts, My Projects, Writing Fiction, Writing Nonfiction
I didn’t spend as much time on Three Weeks this past weekend as I’d hoped (only have a few pages down, but still moving in the right direction - while I “timed” my outlining, I’m not really doing that for the drafting, at least for now).
Other than that though, I did make some pretty nice [...]

Posted at 11:49 pm | Filed Under First Drafts, My Projects, Writing Fiction
I finished all of this week’s planned client work early today as expected, meaning I’m officially on a long weekend at the moment. I decided not to waste it, but to get started on two business-oriented projects - one being to start drafting Three Weeks.

Book Writing Break Coming to a Close
Posted at 8:09 am | Filed Under First Drafts, My Projects, Writing Fiction
I haven’t updated here in a little while - I’ve been taking a break from my bigger writing projects for a few reasons:
1. I’ve been focusing on clients.
2. I’ve been focusing on the transition from full-time PR work to full-time writing.
3. I had a long break in there due to some Mother Nature-related damage which [...]

Getting Into the Head of Your Characters
Posted at 11:23 am | Filed Under Book Outlining, Characters, My Projects, Writing Fiction
While outlining Three Weeks, I’m doing what I can to get into the mind of my main character (Jillian). As the book involves her looking back over failed relationships, I’ve been spending a lot of time lately doing the same - trying to bring up old emotions for example. I posted about my efforts to [...]

Comparing 30-Day Novel Outline Plans
Posted at 11:57 pm | Filed Under Book Outlining, My Projects, Resources & Reviews, Writing Fiction
I’ve mentioned this here before, but not in too much detail. When I launched this blog, I was nearing the end of one 30-day novel outline program for my book with a working title Sarah. With that novel outline (which finished up this past Saturday), I followed the plan detailed in First Draft in 30 [...]
