I've been procrastinating shamefully with Earthsinger. I know what to write, I'm just having trouble writing it and I'm far too distract... oooh! shiny!!  Goal: 500 words per day. Far less than I'm capable of, but quite doable in my current state of mind.  2/4 - 1094 words. yeah!! ;D |

not doing so great lately.
2/11 - 1049 words
2/12 - 142 words
2/14 - 825 words
the good news is I've got the status bar in Liquid Story Binder figured out and customized to display the word counts I want: total for the chapter/segment I'm working on; total for that writing session; daily total. so that makes keeping track a lot easier ;D

Well, the other day I ran into a problem when I realized that the path I was taking with Earthsinger would inevitably lead to a stupid ending that required a lot of people to be stupid and *not* do the most obvious and easiest thing. So I've spent a couple of days re-working and refining my ideas. I took the scene that came into my head that originally inspired this story, and did a mind-mapping thing (who is this girl? why is she out in the wilderness? what is this mysterious song she's hearing?) This helped me rediscover the important threads of my idea and weed out the things that were extraneous and causing problems. So today I'll begin the rewrite. Hopefully to be finished by the end of June.

well, I don't know if I'm going to be able to finish Earthsinger by the end of June, there's a lot less left of June than I thought, and I'm going to be away from my computer for the last week  Oh well. I'm up to 2,855 words on this new (and hopefully final) version. |

meh, no matter how much i fiddle with this, i keep running into roadblocks and contradictions.  I think I need to just step away from this project for a while and work on other things. I'll make a note in my brainstorming notebook of what to me are the important points, and later I'll come back to it and see if I can arrange them into something that makes sense. |

Oh well.
