That’s how much script I wrote last night. I’m torn between, “Oh, that’s pathetic!” and “Well, at least I wrote.” The answer is to let it go and write tonight. Like any other extended effort (diet, exercise, etc.), you...

Twelve pages today, which just about makes up for all the slacking I did this last week. That puts me at sixty pages. Estimating a minimum length of ninety pages, that means I’m 66.7% through. Getting some good advice helped. I may tweak on that 60 pages later....

I seem to have a bad case of script middle blues. I’m left trying to figure out what else I can do to these poor characters. On the up side, I’m on page 48, so I’m well into it. I just need more. More more more. A lightning strike appears to have...

I just loaded every dish that ever existed into my dishwasher and ran it. No, really. Every dish. Ever. We broke into the neighbors’ houses and used their dishes and piled them up in our sink. Big medieval stoneware jugs, Greek and Roman pottery, 8,000 year old...

No, really! You believe me, don’t you? Yeah, well. Maybe you shouldn’t. I’m tired, and stressed out, and have a headache, and, you know, insert a million more excuses to not write here. I’m doing better with exercise, but exercise is easier...

I have thirty script pages. Looking at the date, I need to write two pages a day to finish in time for the early Austin deadline. That sounds super-doable to me. In fact, I think I’ll see what I can do this weekend in the way of putting a serious dent in this...

I was stressed out after work last night, so I decided to unwind by converting my site from XHTML Traditional to XHTML Strict. *facepalm* The most obnoxious part was going back and finding invalid markup in old entries and changing it. I think I’ve found it all....

I’m doing revisions on Lizardfic right now. Back in November, I posted that I thought the universe in this story was underdeveloped. Well, I’m starting to really feel like that’s no longer the case. I’m starting to feel like there could be a...
