Things to do as a Writer

March 1, 2011 by Glynn Stewart Leave a Comment

So, while I work on editing the second draft of Changeling's Fealty and writing an outline before the deadline agreed with my agent hits, I'm going to take a few minutes to write things I think are helpful to being a writer and becoming a better writer. 1.  Write.  It seems simple, but its very easy to talk about your amazing story idea... and never do anything with it. 2.  Read.  Never stop reading.  Fiction, for enjoyment and to learn style tricks.  Non-fiction, for information, for ...

Changeling’s Fealty

February 20, 2011 by Glynn Stewart 1 Comment

So, at a first draft length of 98,159 words, Changeling's Fealty is complete. At just under four months in the writing, Changeling is definitely in the running for shortest time frame I've ever written a novel in (I think one other piece was finished in something similiar, years ago). Nanowrimo gave me a huge boost writing the book.  Having that extra pressure to get the first 50,000 words out helped wonders, and once I had 50,000 words, I was good to go to finish the rest of the ...

Milestones

February 13, 2011 by Glynn Stewart Leave a Comment

Today, Changeling's Fealty hit 90,000 words. There have been some brutal scenes in the last 10,000 words - a lot of things have come out from under the shadows.  Some cold blooded acts were taken by good guys.  Some pretty explicitly evil things were done by bad guys. 90,000 words is a pretty important milestone in my mind though.  This is the end game, the final pages of the book, the point at which I can definitely say that this book will get finished.  Also the point where I start ...

Made It!

January 31, 2011 by Glynn Stewart 1 Comment

With barely hours to go to midnight, dinner still uncooked, and a ten hour work day behind me, I scraped out 1200 ish words today to bring Changeling's Fealty to 85,000 words - making my 10,000 word goal for the month. February's goal is to finish this book - starting with a 1000 words a day.   30,000 words or a finished novel! And now I'm going to go cook dinner for myself. Namaste Glynn ... Read more »

Baby Steps…

January 30, 2011 by Glynn Stewart Leave a Comment

This weekend was a mad rush on my part to try and catch up to my now heavily reduced goal. I started the weekend barely past five thousand words, and realized that without a significant effort, I wasn't even going to make my reduced 10,000 word goal! Well, with racking in 2,346 words today, I am 9,017/10,000 for the month. Hopefully, I will make the last nine hundred odd words tomorrow night, but for now, I have work in the morning and a cat on my lap.  Time to put the writing cap ... Read more »

Progress!

January 26, 2011 by Glynn Stewart Leave a Comment

For the first time in a while, I broke a 1000 word writing day!  A lot of my writing this month has been 'write 1500 word scene over a week,' but today I managed 1208 words. Seems kind of sad after November and December'st three to five thousand word days, but its better than most of this month has seen! I am 5,229/10,000 towards this months now reduced goal, and thinking about research. There is a location in Changeling's Fealty that is very specific and very real.  I have taken some ...
