Lingering Motivation
Posted by: Crystal King on: March 8, 2008
I taught today–a class on creative problem solving for writers. It’s a subject that I’m very passionate about and while I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not an expert on craft (POV, dialogue, setting and the like–I need THAT same sort of help myself), but I’m 100% at home on helping people [...]
Here’s to a Creative 2008!
Posted by: Crystal King on: January 1, 2008
I’ve been a bit lax on blogging since before Thanksgiving. NANOWRIMO had me busy, so did traveling for work, so did all the holidays. I’m fairly sure that I’m not an isolated case–everything seems to get back on track after the New Year.
That’s the case in particular with my writing. I’ve not made resolutions, but [...]

I’ve not really been cursing NANOWRIMO…mostly just cussing out myself for being so behind. I’m at 20,005 words when I should be closer to 30,000. But I have two full days to catch up before we get wrapped up in Thanksgiving, so hopefully I can get a little closer.
I wrote a curse scene today, another [...]

1686 words = 11,094 total = an aching neck and back for sitting hunched over my laptop for so many hours in the last few days…

Today I managed 4083 words which puts me at a total of 5402 so far, 401 words beyond the 1,667 word a day goal. That’s about 14 pages, 12 pt ft, 1.5 spaced. Total wordcount for my novel (if you remember right, I’ve been “cheating” and using the novel I started working on in August) [...]
NANO Weekend Writing
Posted by: Crystal King on: November 3, 2007
On the first night of NANOWRIMO I managed a stunning 1,319 words (stunning because I managed that much. I had great intentions to do more but well, Superman was on…). Yesterday I went to a really wonderful Grub Street fundraiser and got nada done on the wordcount but I met many writers, authors and readers [...]
Weekend Goals
Posted by: Crystal King on: October 5, 2007
No Friday Snippet again this week…just too much going on but next week, yes, yes, there will be more Romans for you all.
Writing goal for the weekend: 4k words. That doesn’t include the revamping of one of the Apicius POV sections, making it instead Sotas.
For November I’ll be cheating on NANOWRIMO and working on this [...]
