• 50,000 for the 9th Time

  I’ve hit 50,000 words for the 9th time in my life. That means I’ve written 9 novels. Not sure how many people in the world could ever say that, so that’s pretty cool, I guess. Here’s the proof: That was last week, actually. It’s now over 77,000, probably on its way to 80k to finish…

• Writing Session: Follow Your Story No Matter How Long or Short

  It felt good to get in a solid writing session on my fourth novel this afternoon. I probably tallied 2000 words as the story heads for its conclusion. It’s now upwards of 43,000 words and will comfortably cruise into the novel territory before I write its final words. But I have discovered that I’m now…
