2013 Week 2; Still Writing

It hasn't been a bad week.  I've had some opportunity to write, and have surpassed my 1,000 words a week goal for the second week in a row.  While that's not the biggest goal in the world, it's my hope that it will keep me writing all year.  2013 has started great and I look forward to the rest of it!

It hasn't been all roses though.  About mid-week "The Chronicles of Rin and Finnius" was going nowhere.  There was a scene, that when I sat down to write it, I couldn't figure out how to put it down.  Earlier that day, Bull Spec magazine (@bullspec) put on Twitter that they were taking submissions for there zine.  When I saw that my mind went into gear for what I would write for a sci-fi story if that was possible.  So, when Rin and Finnius turned to a dead end, a new document was opened and a space story was started.

That new story now sits collecting dust, waiting for the next wall to pop up.  The next day, thinking about Rin and Finnius, I figured out an ending.  Later, the ending was written, and things are looking up for "Rin and Finnius" now that there is a clear destination.  Before I had that destination, I was like a ship without a rudder, and everyone knows that a rudderless ship isn't getting anywhere fast.

"The Diary of Oic Oricson" did not get looked at at all this week.  Oic is my first person experiment that I plan to put up on the blog, one diary entry at a time when more material is available.  That plan may change if it turns really bad.  We'll see...

Lastly, my main distraction from writing this week is reading.  The final book in "The Wheel of Time" series came out Tuesday.  "A Memory of Light" is a massive read that I will savor.  It is the fourteenth book of the series that has been completed by Brandon Sanderson after the passing of Robert Jordan.  "The Wheel of Time" is epic fantasy at its best and everyone should read it.  But that's just my opinion.

Moving into the weekend, there should be some time to write tomorrow and Sunday and maybe some time to draw.  So have a good weekend, I'll be here write 'n' stuff!
