Archimage’s Continuity

Overheard: A married(?) couple. The male “You can order whatever you want.” This at a wings place. Either the guy is cheap or controlling. #writing #life #character #failure

Another 800 words. It’s time to eat some wings. #writing

600 words so far this morning. A goodly start. #writing

Time to relax. I cranked out 2200 words today. #writing

“Even Death averted its eyes when dealing with him. Most of the time, it just skipped the house.” #writing

“One of my oldest friends just told me they’re getting married.” “How old are they?” #writing #throwawayline

1200 words so far, today. I feel like I can do another 500. But first, a break. #writing

750 words so far this morning. Time for a break. #writing

Last night, I finally decided upon the ending, among the five I was contemplating, for my WIP. Luckily, I’ve laid most of the groundwork and breadcrumbs. Now, I have a little less than half the book to get there. #writing

“His ego is so big it can’t fit in this book.” #writing #throwawayline

“He grabbed life by the bottle and never let go.” #writing #character

“What doesn’t kill you makes you brittle.” #life #writing

Time for a break. I rewrote the missing 500 words, and made multiple backups. #writing

I guess I need to do stuff other than write today. I have enough other things to keep me busy. Maybe i’ll do some writing this evening. I still want to get this first draft done by EOY. #writing

Murphy strikes. Just lost the 500 words I just wrote. I accidentally deleted the file without backing it up. Practice safe backups, kids. Learn from mistakes, your own, or someone else’s. Time for a break. Time for lunch. #writing

When you’re living in a dystopian society, you tend not to notice or care that it’s dystopian. #life #failure #writing

I think I sold another couple of books at lunch. People wondering what I’m doing typing… #writing

“The irony was, he didn’t own one.” #writing #throwawayline

“Passenger: I have a ticket to ride.” “Conductor: Sorry, sir. That ticket is only good for a train.” #writing #throwawyline

The problem with living in Delaware is many men pretend to be hunters and truck drivers and dress the part the way men in Texas wear cowboy hats. Of course,they are all proabably packing weapons, since they believe that makes them “manly” and feel safe. #writing #character

“He polished his chimney with care, in hopes Saint Nicholas would be there. Then he lined it with UV glue.” #writing #throwawayline

“He shot hoops because he knew they never shot back.” #writing #throwawayline

I’m still pondering/thinking/musing on/considering/thinking about how to end this story.. I do NOT want a choose your own adventure book. Too many good options. Luckily, I’m just at the midpoint. #writing #pulp

If you take your writing too seriously, maybe you shouldn’t be writing fiction. #writing #failure

“He read the ad that promised 30% off. He paid a lot, just to lose 5 pounds.” #writing #throwayline
