I write stuff

I ever mention I'm an author? I may have. Well, I have a new story out now in a new book of collected stories from Ink'd Well Comics called Fearsome Fables II. My story is A Midsummer's Nightmare. The entire book is awesome and so are the many artists and authors who contributed to the collection. You should check it out and maybe buy a physical or digital copy. All proceeds go to the Free The Children Charity.

So yeah, I've done a fair bit and I'm working on doing more. Currently I'm working on a book for NaNoWriMo and it's going pretty well. When I can get off my lazy ass and finish other things, I'm looking forward to getting my own stand alone book out for sale. Stay tuned!

- Later.

NaNo Day 3 & 4

Days 3&4 of my NaNoWriMo novel. Again I'm disabling comments on these entries. Don't get me wrong, I love feedback and comments, in this case though they would only serve to distract me and cause me to second guess myself.  Finally, this novel is of course Copyright © 2012 Steven Lake & Engen Books.

I've been writing at work and really it depends on how busy we are as to when I can sit and write new things. The past couple of nights have been busy, I'm still happy with my progress. 4 Days into November and I have 4446 words total written. That's still almost 1200 words a day. I might have to alter the original plan and knuckle own at some point over the weekend and write, even a little bit.

NaNo Day 2

Here's Day 2 of my NaNoWriMo novel. Again I'm disabling comments on these entries. Don't get me wrong, I love feedback and comments, in this case though they would only serve to distract me and cause me to second guess myself.  Finally, this novel is of course Copyright © 2012 Steven Lake & Engen Books.

I got side lined last night with a killer migraine and tried desperately to at least get to 1000 words, I'm still happy with the effort. Just means I have to put in more work tonight.

NaNo Day 1

Alright here it is, the first day's work on my NaNoWriMo novel. I tried this last year and it helped hold me to task... for the first 9 days anyway. My Birthday is November 9th, and to make matters worse this year, I'm going to Hal-Con on my birthday. I'm really not going to be productive for 2-3 days. With that in mind, I'm pushing myself for the first 8 days. The usual goal is 1667 words a day, factoring 3 days of lost writing time and trying to make up for it at the start, then every day I'd need to write 2292 words. Last night I did 2299! Holy Shit that's a lot! I'm used to writing short stories of that length over a longer amount of time cause I procrastinate like hell. Damn, I love this story idea and I still have more that I want to write today, but I'm holding it for tonight.

I'm going to be posting as I go every day forgive me for this one, but I'm disabling comments on these entries.
