Greater Good, Lesser Good…Only Good

Or, as Gabrielle would’ve said in Friend In Need (if she’d known a little Yiddish): "Greater Good, Schmesser Good, I don’t need no stinkin’ Greater Good! I want the Only Good, which is you, Warrior Princess!" [Edited: Okay, maybe I wish I knew a little Yiddish too, so I could get that right. Wait! […]

Gabrielle’s eyes are haunting me

November 29, 2006 (4:15 am) | NaNoWriMo, XWP | 0 comments

The look in Gabrielle’s eyes at the end of Sacrifice II haunted me for years. Then there was the look in her eyes at the end of Fallen Angel, when Xena called Gabrielle’s soul out of her dying or dead body. Well before the end of Friend In Need I was sobbing. And […]

Eureka! 50,097 words! And almost as many meltdowns! Woo hoo!

Whew! 50,097 words! Talk about your marathons. This weekend, thankfully, was a holiday weekend — and for once I didn’t have to work on the day after Thanksgiving. And I was way behind on my word count going into that four day stretch. But due to a trait I share with the Warrior […]

By A Simple Twist of Fate, today I wrote 6192 words for NaNoWriMo

And the evening is still young. Well, it’s actually later than I thought. It’s a quarter of ten. But I still attained my second highest daily word count for the current novel, so I’m still excited as I can be. I got hit with a brainstorm last night and I’ve been writing like mad […]

Plot twisted, new scenes lead to new working title

November 26, 2006 (10:36 pm) | NaNoWriMo, XWP | 0 comments

I passed the 40, 000 mark tonight. And, okay, so it’s still the Eternal Bonds series (hey, I gotta vision, all right? or maybe a hallucination), but tonight the current NaNoWriMo novel turned itself into an incarnation of a story I tried to write a year ago and just couldn’t do it. Don’t know […]

NaNoWriMo Progress: Crossed the 30,000 Word Mark Tonight

November 21, 2006 (4:35 am) | NaNoWriMo | 0 comments

Woo hoo! Crossed the 30,000 word mark a moment ago and had to crank up the old Thingamablog just so I could shout out about it! Woo hoo! By the way, here’s the cover for the novel:
And I’m starting to get a glimmer of a plot. *G* I just couldn’t get […]

Banner for Eternal Bonds, my NaNo Novel in (need of) Progress *G*

November 19, 2006 (7:48 am) | NaNoWriMo, XWP | 0 comments

Update: As the writing changed directions, so did the banners and covers for A Simple Twist of Fates, originally named Eternal Bonds, which is now the name of a planned series and a song I’m working on too. And soundtrack. The newer ones feature a scene from the novel, a scene which it […]

Music-makers and dreamers of dreams

Well, I thought I was stalling and not working on the NaNoWriMo novel by exploring the web tonight, when what to my wandering eye should appear but one half-hidden line at the bottom of a page of a wallpaper entitled Reverie. And that line led me to do a search, and my searching led […]

16,478 words into the NaNoWriMo novel

November 13, 2006 (5:38 am) | NaNoWriMo | 0 comments

I’m about to go looney. Okay, it’s true: been ‘ere, done ‘at. *G* I just can’t believe I’ve written so much nonsense. All right, all right, the nonsense part isn’t what I can’t believe. I just can’t believe I’ve written so much of it, that’s all. In such a short time.
And I’m […]

Eternal Bonds

November 8, 2006 (3:03 am) | Midnight Musings, NaNoWriMo | 0 comments

Or Eternal Circle or — well, I’m not sure what the final title is gonna be. But Eternal Sumpin is the working title of my current NaNoWriMo novel, right now anyway, subject to change, oh, about a gazillion or so times before this month — and project — have reached The glorious End. I […]
