Post Christmas FATAL ERROR
Just a quick update here. (I'll be trying to keep this journal up to date a little more consistently.)
Though I haven't been keeping the journal up to date, I have been doing some writing. The holidays can be a real pain in the ass when it comes to the schedule keeping.
And just a little vent here -- I wrote over 1,100 words yesterday and got a fatal error on the Dana. Lost them all! That sucked out loud. I have to be fair though, I'm pretty sure I know what caused it AND it's never happened before. I managed to re-write about 500 words worth before I ran out of steam. :) I also could have lost the entire Chapter Twelve but fortunately it kept my last save point.
Chapter Twelve-"Malice"
My villain is gaining her strength and is starting to show it in dispicable ways.
Page Count: 233
Total Word Count: 51,019

I stumbled upon this narrative by way of surfing Blogger and I will have to admit that it was your icon/picture which caused me to pause long enough to make a comment ... but I'll not go there now.
Observations:
1: Obession with the quantity of words.
"Page Count: 233"
"Total Word Count: 51,019"
The published writers that I know focus more about the quality of their words. Sometimes making it through only a paragraph or two in a writing session. Listen to this opening sentence from Gabriel Garcia Marquez's "One Hundred Years of Solitude," "Many years later, as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendia was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice." Magic realism. Something for you to "try" to shoot for.
2. Damn boy you are quite the whiner.
