Write!"<br /><br />Agreed. That would be one of the most inspirational events ever...one would have to be a fool to pass it up. <br /><br />Something tells me that some of us writers are going to be pretty useless people come the Apocalypse. :P<br /><br />:)Ian(:Ianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14289566223624035599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7970703367799585001.post-23631513363080885552010-08-27T14:19:16.223-07:002010-08-27T14:19:16.223-07:00Sweet.

I've been finding it hard to motivate myself to write recently (getting up super early to work and wanting to write late at night are a bad mix). Maybe this will give me the spark I need.RED~Scribehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15150207219814465145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7970703367799585001.post-80003023767564402352010-08-27T11:39:42.086-07:002010-08-27T11:39:42.086-07:00Oh wait, the title of my book?

Well, I did, but that was a long time ago, long before I started this blog.<br /><br />Song of the Daystar still has the same title.<br /><br />Eldrei is older than SOTD. :DStar-Dreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14298850366884374226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7970703367799585001.post-70664987721596628592010-08-27T11:38:23.576-07:002010-08-27T11:38:23.576-07:00I don't think I changed the title...

I'll probably have to cut a lot and go back to focusing on the most important plot line. I want to see if I can' round this one up around 100,000 words. That's still a rather large book, but I think it's more reasonable than Roughly 170,000! :)Star-Dreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14298850366884374226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7970703367799585001.post-7423394915101109332010-08-27T11:30:31.916-07:002010-08-27T11:30:31.916-07:00Oops, I meant that second question to mean "A...Oops, I meant that second question to mean "And what's your guess on the final word count?".

I have the knowledge that this (keeping yourself accountable and writing a lot) can be done--I know by experience. But I need a reminder every once and a while. :)Jakehttp://teenagewritingrocks.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
