Tag: The Lost Colony (Trunked)
I am SO close…
Man, I am so close to finishing this novel! I’m at the last part of the last chapter, with the closing scene and the last viewpoint. Man! I’m going to finish it tomorrow!
In other news, my sister Sarah just got married, I packed all my junk and put it in storage, and I’m getting REALLY excited and nervous for this trip to Cairo–the plane leaves Saturday!
I’d write more, but it’s very late and I’m tired. Definitely write tomorrow.
First submission sent off!
Yep, that’s right! This past Thursday I sent off the first three chapters plus a synopsis to Tor for them to consider! It was all part of the English 318 final. And…I’m not exactly sure how I feel about sending it out just yet…
awesome day
Yeah, it was a really good day today. I didn’t make any progress in the last few chapters of my novel, but I did revise the first 25 pages of my novel for the English 318 final. Now, I just need to find a place where I can safely submit it…
A week away…
Wow. Only a week away from my goal to finish this novel…
FREEDOM!!
Well, not quite yet. There’s still exams. But no more classes!!! Yay! I’m so relieved!
It’s been so awesome to have free time again. Unfortunately, these past two days I’ve squandered it quite a bit, and haven’t written a whole lot. I changed that today, though, and wrote about 1,440 words. Still…man, only about a week before my deadline. I’m going to have to work hard to do this…
But I’m totally going to make it! And once I do, it’s going to prove so much! It’s going to be great!
…and now I have to go to bed.
Now that I’m almost finished…
It might sound kind of crazy, but now that I’m almost finished with this novel, I’m starting to figure out what it’s really about…
Down to the last stretch
…in more ways than one. School is coming to a close, I’m making my final preparations for the study abroad, and this novel is only one or two chapters from completion (in rough draft form, that is. Very rough draft form). Now that I’m almost finished with this draft of the novel, I’m able to see a number of things I’ve learned about writing from the experience…
Wow…2,500 words
Yeah, that’s quite a bit more than I thought. I started late in the day, in between sessions of conference, and basically just wrote a little bit here and there. Just now, I opened it up to finish up the current chapter, but decided against it since I’m really tired. Then I did the wordcount, and wow…
600 words and I’m going to throw in the towel
I’m just way too tired.
