Broke 10,000

Monday, August 30th, 2004

My total word count on the novel passed 10,000 yesterday. That’s about 7%. Hopefully I can write every day this week, because we have a busy weekend coming up.

I’ve returned to writing again. I have some simple maps together. I have at least enough to get me through the first bit. I hope to flesh them out later, but for now I need to get more writing done. My word count is about 5% of my goal and I’m about 4.5% through my outline.

I’m an Idiot!

Monday, August 2nd, 2004

Since I finished reading “http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0919359221/jczorkmidnet-20?dev-t=D1PFR87T6PBKMO%26camp=2025%26link_code=sp1″>
Latter Days (the second to last volume of Cerebus, the 6000
page epic graphic novel) some months ago, I have been grumping
about, attemping to find a copy Cerebus issue 290. See, I’ve been
reading Cerebus since I was about 12, and I really wanted to read
to the end (issue 300). I have issue 289, and issues 291-300
sitting here (Latter Days
finishes up at 288).

Today I took 289 out for no real reason (my copy of “font-weight: bold;”>The Last Day, containing issues 289-300
should arrive this week), flipped it over and saw the cover for
issue 290. Double issue. That would be why I couldn’t find it
anywhere, because I’m an idiot. Oh well.

I’ll have more to say about Cerebus soon. Maybe I can finish it
before it gets here.

Update: To learn a valuable
lesson from Cerebus, read more…
