Writing update.
January was a hell of a month. Work, weather, and a few complications around caring for my mom. Finally had a day totally off all for regrouping.
So...getting back to work. Circles won't write itself, and it is just the first of many stories that I will be exploring.

After a crazy week at work, and then realizing the need to pivot part of the novel...things are all lined back up and should be good to just get the rest written.

Tons of research, hours of reading, expanding my mind.
To make a single conversation in one chapter of the book seem like a legitimate delivery.

Well, that's enough research-rabbithole for me tonight. Either I have scrambled my brain or this actually makes sense as a fictional symbol of philosophical expression.

So, as I am well over half-way through the story, I am realizing it is going to be a bit short for an actual novel. I looked at it, read what I had finished so far, and it hit me right in the face. I love my characters and their arcs, but there is no Worldbuilding!

This last week has felt like the longest month ever. I even doublechecked myself, because it felt like I forgot to pay a couple of bills. So...small progress is still progress.

Wasn't a great weekend. Needing some time off to recuperate from my time off. But, I am trucking right along with the first draft of the first novel. It is killin' me, not being able to talk about the story, the setting, and the plans for the future. And games! It will be a fantastic #ttrpg setting!

...aaand time for a trip to the dentist.
When I want to write, but in so much pain that I cannot sleep....brain just ain't gonna brain.

It isn't as speedy as I would like, but it sure is steady progress!
I am lovin' this experience, as well as the story!

Has been a great weekend for writing. A lot of reflection and introspection, too. Things are moving forward.

Thank you, Terry Robinson, for your contributions to the Mage: The Ascension game & fandom. Especially for this very special copy of Book of Secrets you referred to as "bookbinding practice."
You will be missed.

Sometimes things look just fine in the outline...but require a different approach when words need to string together. Add "queen Anne architecture" and "precession" to my search history....

Approaching the halfway point in terms of the outline and planned chapters. Considering a number of factors, including some additional bits I want to add in the beginning of the story....looks like an 85k word novel.

Not a great weekend, but not totally shitty.
Bit by bit, I am more enthused. I see the story taking shape and feel characters fill with substance.

Ejected a few distractions...THIS feels like a place to get some words done.

Time for a little spring cleaning, reorganizing, and removing distractions.

Unplanned break from writing. SSD is failing...so I better go buy a replacement tonight and put it in.
Routine, but annoying.
