Tens of Thousands

I've just finished the twelfth section of my book and I know that puts me easily over 30,000 words written.  It takes me about 10 minutes to write 100 words, so do the math.  Yes, we're talking about fifty hours of writing.  It's neat to think of things that way.

 

The story is progressing well, and I'm starting to develop more of the full arc the more I invest which seems to be the generally preferred way to develop a story; and yet, I will continue to use what works for me.

 

Here's a brief sample of something I wrote today; enjoy.

Nathaniel's gaze shot to the larger man, "I value his input far more than I value yours, Militiaman."  The large man bristled and stepped forward, the woman placed her restraining hand on his arm again but he brushed it off.  The gray-bearded man seemed uncertain of what to do, and Nathaniel had reached up and grabbed his own livery.  "Do you see this insignia?" he said harshly.  "Do you see that I am ranked above you?

I realise there's no context for that paragraph, but at least you know I'm not writing, "he drew his sword and it was awesome!"  ^_^

Seasonal Inspiration

So it's very much fall now, and I'm spending a lot of time indoors keeping out of the cold rains.  As such, I've been writing, and blending, and taking care of all that stuff I like to do in and around my office.

 

YouTube changed their page layout, so I decided to take a look and ended up making a new background picture.

 

I did the cityscape in Blender, and then added the text and fading in Paint Shop Pro 9.

 

I also posted another video for the Ellenoir Experience, and recorded the footage for the next one.

 

I've been a busy little bee, but in my heart I'm hoping for a couple more bike rides before I call the season officially over.

25000

I've just finished my eighth section of my work, each being over 3000 words each.  That should put my current tally in excess of 25000 words.  That's pretty good for me.  I hope I can keep up the discipline  and creativity as the months go by.
