Restarting the locked out thread:

This is a home for lonely writers to post how much they've written, home for posting that you've finished a work, home for a 'kick-me-in-the-butt' cause I've been lazy.

Congrats Kevin on so many projects and for finishing your re-edit for a mag editor.

As to me, I think I'm in the 'kick-me-in-the-butt' category recently. Personal things...  I'm good with it, no kicks needed honestly.

Hit the keys everyone!

Dresdenus Prime:
I have about 40,000 words at the moment, and things are going fairly well. I'm new to the writing game so one day I'll just type our whatever I can get onto paper and other days I decide to revise early. I recently polished my first chapter and I'm pleased with it.

It's getting more exciting now because all the big sequences I originally planned for the story are about to start happening. Sometimes I have trouble filling a chapter to the length I set for myself, but two days ago I wrote my 12th Chapter and not only did I exceed the number of pages, not only did I do it in less than 24 hours, but I never even got to the topic the chapter was suppose to be about, so that was pretty awesome.

Right now it's just a matter of staying consistent, because I might be writing a lot this week, but I didn't write at all last week. Definately needed that kick in the butt.

How's everyone else doing?  ;D

Nicodemus Carpenter:
A new thread right in time for my new project. Auspicious? Guess we'll see.

Got 714 words of narrative written today, exceeding my goal by 214.  Unfortunately, every word was almost immediately rendered useless since the brainstorming session that followed altered the plot sufficiently that the scene not only won't make it in the book, but also could never have even occurred in the new timeline.  Two steps forward, three steps back, snafu.

The new continuity brought another scene to mind, so I'm gonna go get it out of my head and onto the page.  We'll see how long this one lasts.

Edit: 273 words of pure crap.  That'll have to do for the day.  My brain is gonna be sore in the morning.

Kali:
My current fun project is based on a short story I wrote awhile ago.  Which, come to think of it, springboarded off of a writing prompt posted here, I think!  It's basically fairies in the modern day, the little bitty kind of fairies.  It's an enjoyable write, plenty of opportunities for sly bits of goofiness without turning it into one big joke.

Wordmaker:
With my first novel coming out next year I've been working on a follow-up, currently somewhere about 12,000 words in, I think. I'm also writing a YA modern fantasy as a sort of chill-out project, to give me a break from my primary series.
