Tag: Weekly Writing Update

All told, I think I wrote something like ten thousand words of new story or story-related material this week, not including work I did on blog posts and book reviews, which I'd like to think is somewhat respectable for someone doing this as a hobby.

I both made as much progress as I wanted to on Blood Magic this week, and not as much as I'd hoped.

I guess this will be a short update this week, because there really isn't very much new to say.

As promised in last week's writing update, this was a good week for Blood Magic, and I don't just mean because Noble Child went live.

Other than a couple of book reviews, that's all of the writing I did for this week. Next week's posts include some thoughts about the polymath concept, and a review for The Dragonbone Chair.

Despite my digression from Verdon's Tragedy, I did maintain my focus on Blood and Dragons. Aside from a few, finishing touches, I can now say that the first part is complete.

This was a pretty good week, writing-wise.

How are we already starting April? That's a disconcerting thought. As you hopefully saw, March's Blood Magic episode, Making Change, is now live, so I encourage you to head over there and read it soon.

I finished Noble Child this week. It clocks in at just a smidgeon over ten thousand words, putting it right in line with an average Blood Magic episode.

In this third weekly writing update, we'll be talking a little bit about a technique I (try) to use when I come up against a form of writer's block, which I call writing into the next scene.
