Monday Status Report – 3/18/13

This past week has been productive, if not hectic. It also marks the first chapter I have written in this novel where I was fighting off falling asleep, so I know I have part of one session that reads like a stream-of-consciousness random psychobabble passage.

Monday Status Report 3-11-13

Rough water on the fiction side this week. I only managed a hair over 7000 words, with two zero days and two partial word count days. Monday afternoon I received a phone call from a client for a rush job. I stopped working on the novel immediately and went to… Continue reading

Update – 6/4/12

This will be the last update for “A Darkling Nine” for a little while. Since my productivity is sputtering out and I have feedback from first readers on “Fishpunk,” it seems my efforts would be better applied toward finishing “Fishpunk” right now.
