I’ve been all over the place with writing today, which is pretty normal… I’m not sure how other writers spend their day writing, but I tend to jump around from doc to doc…

For instance, I started the morning with a cup of coffee… can’t think until I have my coffee… then dove into writing, pulling up Dying Days 2 and writing a healthy 1,200 words in a little over an hour before I had to get a refill…

While I was adding a ton of sugar (to kill that coffee taste), I decided to jump around… I’ve been toying with something I can only describe as young adult steampunk (is that even a real subgenre?) involving crazy contraptions, America still ruled by the Brits, and cyborg stuff… no idea where I’m going with it, but hit 900 words of the opening today and like it so far…

Yep, cup number three of coffee and then back to the laptop…

Another two pages of the Dying Days screenplay that I’m not completely happy with, but it is progress…

Frustrated, I switched back to the Dying Days 2 novella and wrote another 600 words and finished a chapter…

Took a break to watch last night’s episode of “Shameless” (just love this show), drank 2 more cups of coffee and ate half the leftovers from the cheese/meat tray from the Super Bowl party…

Then spent the next two hours re-writing major parts of the Chelsea Avenue horror novel… got five chapters re-done, and it is much improved…

I’ll likely write some more tonight while Kim is watching the dreadful “The Voice” (although Christina does wear, um, nice outfits)…

All in all a good day of writing for me…
