The writing of it is a story in itself.<BR/><BR/>I once told an agent something about how I have another book started which might take my career in a different direction. Of course she then wanted to see the first three chapters, which I hammered away in much the same way you did...I'm still waiting to see if she wants to see the rest of the book...if she asks for it, I will be returning to this post for inspiration. :)Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06333494452915600562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8797742184466184860.post-59697371684446200162009-03-09T13:07:00.000-05:002009-03-09T13:07:00.000-05:00UPDATE:Book done- book done- book done!55,000 word...UPDATE:<BR/><BR/>Book done- book done- book done!<BR/><BR/>55,000 words with "the end." written after.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for all your support and friendship.

That is like WTF creativity pouring out of orifices that we don't even want to mention now. WOW!! I'm stubborn but maybe my stubborness has ADHD because I could NOT produce anything that couldn't be called plotless drivel in that space of time (I take quite a bit longer to produce my plotless drivel, hee!).<BR/><BR/>You rock babe.

When my creative muse is on, this is how write to begin with. I hit enough walls and break through them that I'm numb, hell I could go head to head with the guys in the reality show my son loves about demolition of buildings using their bodies.<BR/><BR/>It's a tough road to write fast, but also very rewarding. I wrote 100k in 6 weeks and 90k in about 4. Now my time is rather tight so I've taken a bit of a break. I know I'm due to go at it again. I've got a new book with the first two chapters done, but because it's a series, once I had a feel for the two strands of the story, I've been working on the underpinnings of it. But the muse is starting to yell, so it won't be long before I'm in the chair again for a month or so, everyday writing on it...<BR/><BR/>Keep us posted on how it goes with your marathon project...:-)~Sia McKye~https://www.blogger.com/profile/08470562659597351033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8797742184466184860.post-80263037038240861982009-03-09T09:07:00.000-05:002009-03-09T09:07:00.000-05:00I applaud your insanity.I applaud your insanity.Bowmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11031226145526664876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8797742184466184860.post-9615100114518046352009-03-08T18:30:00.000-05:002009-03-08T18:30:00.000-05:00When you have an opportunity, you need to grab it ...When you have an opportunity, you need to grab it by the horns!
