How many pages have you written so far JAG? Since the last time I read it, I mean?


What was the last chapter I sent you??

I am not even slightly bored.

I'm talking to a couple of friends on my team website....cruising around here....and tapping away at my book since I can actually GET somewhere again.


How many pages?:tongue:


I got about 500 words from the point where I got stuck.

Not a whole lot of progress, but better than it just sitting there. LOL

I was having a real problem with the " ritual " involved in the scene. Everything I came up with seemed like it would be short changing the scene because I ( in my own humble opinion ) think it's a VERY good scene. I wanted to make sure I didn't screw it up by doing something completely cheesy.


It's good you're writing. I can't get anywhere with mine either. I need 20 pages to have 300, yet I do nothing. Grr....

I think 21 or so? I can't remember. They were in a cave, discussing the dragons....

That would be 41 I think. I don't have much more than that done. I got stuck in that cave as they were starting the ritual for the transfer of magic.

I finally figured out a way to do it without it being too awful.

I'll send you some more after the weekend. I have a four day weekend and I am definitely gonna sit down and get some more work done.

It was starting to get VERY frustrating. I had a good idea of what I wanted to do, just wasn't sure about HOW to get it done.

I didn't realize, when I started the scene ( and this is what I get for not planning things out a bit ) how difficult it would be to get the magic transferred without doing something " typical ".

LOL!!!

At the very least, I would suggest at least opening the file or notebook or whatever you write in, and take a look at it.

You never know when something might strike you.

I'm annoyed with myself, because I have a pretty idea of what I want to happen, I just need to write it down. I keep meaning to just write the scene and try to figure out how to work it in. That's how I wrote lots of it, took 3 short stories and put them together and they fit.

I'll try to remember to check it out, I need to finish something before I die....:laughing:

Ugh, I'm not sure if I want my sis to finish mine, I'm considering killing a character, and I just know she'd change that part....laugh

One thing about my brother...I know that if I had stuff written down, he'd stick with it.

Well, she's the sensitive type, she'd never kill a character. She'd think she was "helping" the character by letting her live....

Wouldn't it be ironic if I finished it, found a publisher, made a fortune and then proceeded to kick my own azz for procrastinating?:laughing:
