Hoooo, boy, here we go. Another Round of Words in 80 Days check-in without a whole lot to report. The last few days have been a little hectic, so I’m a little behind on my page count, but Chapter One is still plodding along nicely with a finish in end, so I’m hoping to get…

It’s happened once; it’s happened twice; it has and will happen many, many more times. One of the greatest things about writing is that, sometimes, it’s not the writer who is even writing the story, but the story itself that seems to be driving the writer and his or her creativity to create some that…

When I drove home from work last night, my intentions were entirely to set to the task of finishing Chapter One, if only because I knew then I could say I at least finished Chapter One, though I’m many, many chapters behind my original (and probably high-arching) goal for A Round of Words in 80…

Well, here’s another great thing to say about A Round of Words in 80 Days: it gives me material for at least two blog topics a week! Sometimes I am terribly lazy, and it’s nice sometimes to wake up and think, “Hey, I don’t have to try to come up with something to write about…

THE PROLOGUE IS FINISHED. I repeat: THE PROLOGUE IS FINISHED! Granted, at this point, I expected on having the prologue plus four chapters finished, but that’s okay. It’s just a slow start and this prologue has been a notorious focus point for this novel, wasting way too much of my time. I’ve gotten chapter one…

According to my goal for Round 3 of A Round of Words in 80 Days, I should have three chapters finished. I am just now finishing out the rewrite of my prologue. Looks like someone’s dragging her ass! I’m not too worried, though. I know that I habitually tend to get a little dragged down…

Well, second check in for A Round of Words in 80 Days, and I am still sadly behind, behind, behind on my goal. By this time, according to the goal I set for myself, I should have the prologue and the first chapter rewritten, and I’m sitting at about half-way through the prologue. I did…

Despite all of my enthusiasm and excitement, Round 3 of Row30 is not off to the most successful start. Based on my goal, I should have the prologue of SiaC finished at this point; in reality, I have a page finished. So there’s at least something! To be honest, I’m not too terribly worried. It’s…

Finally, it’s here! Not Independence Day (though I do wish all my fellow American’s a happy, fun, and safe one; I will be working for most of it, so have a hamburger and a beer for me!), but the start of the next round of A Round of Words in 80 Days, which will be…
