2,074 words for today. Split between the new draft and some additions I realized I need to add to the first book before it’s ready to query. If you’re going to call your series something about case notes, it would behoove you to have something like, I don’t know, case notes in the story, right?

After far, far too long off as a result of…well…stuff, I’m back at the keyboard with a whopping 2,055 words on the new novel. My Writing Month is off and rolling once again!

I steam-cleaned the carpet in two rooms upstairs, so now have the heat cranked to an uncomfortable level and several windows open. It’s also fall in Seattle so it’s pissing down rain.
Will the soundtrack:
A) Help me write
B) Just make me have to pee
Only time will tell…

Rufus says he fits just fine, he doesn’t know what you’re talking about, and stop judging him.

This week/month/year…ffs.
Top 3:
I’m going on day 6 without writing for Writing Month. I keep getting rejection after rejection in response to the 250+ applications I’ve sent. I’m working on finding therapist #3 in as many months.
Just needed to vent, thanks.
As you were.

day 4 of Writing Month in the bag. 911 words added to the first draft of my second novel…Now to go spend some time working on a blurb for book 1 so I can start querying…

Today’s edition of Sir Dingus Vs. The Couch has a clear winner.
Sir Dingus has succumbed to the overwhelming power of a move I call: The Trench.

Day 3 of Writing Month in the bag with 905 words.
I may not be cruising, but I’m right on target and that’s just fine by me right now. I’m writing again, that’s what matters the most to me.
-
Seriously, dude? He’s stuck, and he 100% did this to himself. Do I need to explain how he earned the nickname Sir Dingus?
-
I can’t tell if these constitute a win for Rufus or the Couch in the ongoing saga of Sir Dingus vs. The Sofa.

Ready to get stuck into Writing Month (a last-minute, yet quite well done, alternative to NaNoWriMo). I’ve set a goal of 25,000 words as I have a lot of other draws on my limited focus at the moment (job hunt, freelance work, querying agents for my first book).
-
A line I’m particularly fond of from my manuscript:
“It even smelled beige, sort of a damp mix of whiteboard cleaner and boredom.”
-
I don’t even know anymore.
The battle of Sir Dingus vs the Couch continues.

My novel is back from the beta readers. That means I’m one final read-through away from being ready to start querying agents and bringing book 1 of From the Case Files of an Intuitive Investigator (tentative subtitle) to life.
GULP.

I see the battle between Dingus and Sofa is heating back up.
