I'm getting back into writing Cog after life got me a bit derailed. I just finished chapter 23 and I'm at 57,000 words. I wanted to end up around 75,000 words. Looking at the amount of plot left, it seems like I should be in the ballpark. I think I'd be happy anywhere in the range of 70,000 - 80,000 words.

I pretty much know everything that's going to happen from here to the end, I just have to have time to write it.

Yeah, it's harder to carve out time with the job search, and with it being summer.

You'll find time, though.

move out and draw fire

Has anyone heard of or used the "Dramatica" system? I'm having a hard time getting past the sales-pitchy website [link] but it seems like an alternative theory to Aristotle/Campbell/Writer's Journey?

Not that I'm sure that's what I want.

I'm working on chapter 26 of Cog and I'm at 65,000 words. Not much longer to go in the amount of plot left and my wordcount target.

Because books.

Way to go, Gud!

I'm working in total fits and starts with this book, which sucks because it's late. Words! Come faster!

Google adds an algorithm to screen out content farms, which may push them towards needing better writing and therefore out of the business of paying writers between $0 and $5 an article [link]

Wouldn't it be pretty to think so?

not your mom's socks.

So it looks like I'm going here in October - [link] - which is very cool, and I'm excited, but now my brain is doing the OMGNooo!NewPeople dance. I'm sure I'll calm down before then right? Also, I'm starting to doubt that that story I sold is ever going to come out (been a few months, haven't heard about edits), and I'm thinking it was all a cruel joke plotted by monkeys, or the trees. It is possible that I am still jittery from all the allergy steroids and could just chill. A lot.

Oh cool, Sox!

I refer to their Evil Overlord lists a lot.
