Word count update

I'm up to 25K words. Thought I would be further, but I've really been on a pace of a page or two per night. With writing as a hobby on the side of a full time career, I can't accelerate too much without hurting my real responsibilities, but I'm pretty encouraged as I know how it all wraps up, and I think I won't be over my goal of 70-90K words. Have gotten good feedback from the one person I've let read it so far. The first chapter audio attempt was a healthy learning experience...might try anot… Continue

My first production attempt

Ok, hopefully this upload worked. Here's my first attempt at producing a chapter. A few things of note: 1)Produced in audacity. Considering a software upgrade. Thoughts? Suggestions? 2)The voice actors in this trial run got one take with little direction and partial scripts. They're all creative people who are learning right along with me, and are still developing their characters for themselves, so please keep that in mind. They also had varying hardware to record on and background noise issu… Continue

New Author Update

A few updates have failed to appear, but maybe it was the network I was on. Hoping for better luck here.... I'm still writing the first draft. Long way to go still, but I like where things are right now. I'm porting into ywriter. I want to avoid Word, and this program helps me to organize a bit of backstory as well as helping focus on the qulity of each individual scene. And it was free, which is good. I have 11-12K words in it now. That's 4 chapters, each with room to add a bit in the second… Continue

Going strong...

This week, I've managed to further solidify the main plot in my head and push the word count to the 8-9K range. I'm being very careful about spending too much time forcing in desrciptive details in my first draft; I'm thinking of the first draft as the skeleton of the story. It will need to be filled out with a second pass before anyone reads it critically. I'm finding a need to solidify some biological details for the species represented in my story (human-like but not human) in order to deriv… Continue

This Could Take a While (a.k.a. You Gotta Start Somewhere)

So, I'm at the early stages of making a podiobook. While I'm still writing the 1st draft of the material, I have a decent vision for how this will all go. For me, writing has been an on-and-off hobby, and not a career goal. As such, I've fallen into the "over-polish chapter 1 and never finish the thing" trap a few times. My problem was never a lack of story to tell, but rather a lack of vision for the end product. I think I've found it now. I plan to blog here (interest permitting) as I contin… Continue
