Writing when bored

Posted on May 13, 2018 by L. Jacob

I was bored yesterday. I had finished Grimaulkin Redeemed, and it’s at the editor. I “finished” “Taurus”–it could go on for a couple more scenes, but I like ending it where it is. I had the urge to write. I … Continue reading →

One of three completed!

Posted on May 6, 2018 by L. Jacob

Grimaulkin Redeemed has been finished and is at the editor. I feel pretty good about this story. Even though I didn’t tie up the loose end from Grimaulkin Tempted, I developed Grimaulkin into a reluctant hero, which was the point … Continue reading →

Continuing the race from a new starting block

Posted on April 29, 2018 by L. Jacob

Thirty-eight thousand words. It’s all downhill from here, right? Well, my plan is to come up with another twenty thousand words. Though I don’t think that’s going to happen, because the story wants to end. I don’t want the story … Continue reading →

Playlist, part deux

Posted on April 28, 2018 by L. Jacob

With new music from Shinedown (who are going to do Grimaulkin’s soundtrack, if I have anything to say about it) and Godsmack.   This video will give you a chuckle.   Inspiration for “Virgo”:

Is it worth it?

Posted on April 22, 2018 by L. Jacob

Did an event yesterday. I sold one book, and I’m very happy for that. (Thanks, Jennifer!) I called my dad and told him, and he said, “You sit all day and sell one book. Is it even worth it?” I … Continue reading →

The end is nigh

Posted on April 15, 2018 by L. Jacob

Grimaulkin Redeemed is at 39K words, and I just started what I believe is the beginning of the  ending of the main plot. I have to throw in a few side plots for filler. I’m especially concerned why a certain … Continue reading →

What happened in the year 2000?

Posted on April 8, 2018 by L. Jacob

I’m on medical leave (long story, not going into it) so I have some time to write. I try to write at least 1000 words a day, in between the recovery. I’m coming up with some good ideas, and I’m … Continue reading →

Keeping Time

Posted on April 1, 2018 by L. Jacob

My aim was to get to 40K by the end of March, but it’m up to 29K at the moment. I’ll probably get up to 30K by today, and then it’s all downhill from there. I took two days off … Continue reading →

Life suckage

Posted on March 25, 2018 by L. Jacob

I’m up to 27K words in Grimaulkin Redeemed–almost half way there! About half-way. My goal is 60K words, but with my luck, the story will end between 50K and 60K. Life has been getting in the way recently. Suffice it … Continue reading →

Procrastinating

Posted on March 18, 2018 by L. Jacob

Today I’m procrastinating writing. I’m cleaning out the litter boxes, picking up my office, staring at the cats…anything but working on the blank page of Grimaulkin Redeemed. I wrote the exciting part that had been running around in my head … Continue reading →
