Nikky Lee's latest activity

OK starting the third. I had to make a tomato pie because the wolfhound wolfed the chicken for dinner. I keep forgetting he has the reach of a velociraptor and the counters are no obstacle for him.

Another 500ish words done last night. Month total: 1,202 WIP total: 192,888

I've changed my goal on the Trackbear leader board to be 40 chapters (all of them) instead of the 10 I'd put originally, because I went back to the beginning. The last 10 chapters need the most work, but I have changed enough in the first 2...

Okay, three additional chapters revised (four total). One-tenth of the book now in third draft form. I think it's better. But the latter stages require more complicated rewriting, so not sure one-tenth is on, ahead or behind schedule. I'm gonna...

I'm about to do something I don't think I'm supposed to. It's a three-scene chapter that goes Present POV 1 --> Deep flashback POV 2 --> Present POV 1. Instead of hearing the character relate her story to the POV 1 character, we fall into the...

I'm aiming to finish 6 short stories (3-5k each) 1. Final edit of a finished piece (spy) 2. Carve out a concept from a partially-completed novel (sci-fi) 3. Carve out a concept from a developing idea (fantasy) 4. Refine/edit a semi-finished...

600ish words on Rarkyn book 3. My goal is to get it to 210k which should bring it close to the end (please let it be close to the end).

My goal is to rewrite The Forgotten Songs of Sarah Sullivan . I'm halfway through and would like to finish second half this month. It's way too long. I'm aiming for 32 chapters (16 done already), but it'll probably be more. It would be an...

If it was part of your goal, then it counts. Cool! Got a link?

I don't suppose the thousand-word blog post last night counts? It's my very first post on my brand-new website. I'm going to document my journey as a writer - whatever the hell that means. I spent way too much time building the site, and it's...

My goal is to rewrite One Magic Summer and add more tension and suspense. I feel I know the story better now and am a better writer than when I started this project and still love the concept, "Practical Magic meets Arsenic and Old Lace with...

Thanks Nikky! I'm in. My goal is to finish the edit on my 100K word sci-fi novel. I have about 10 chapters to go plus some tidy up in a few spots. I'd also like to cut 5K. If I finish before eom, I want to do a read-aloud of the whole thing for a...

Chapter one, revised

Contrarian goal of reducing 2 of my picture book manuscripts (written years ago) by about 75% each, and a recent one to 500 words.

Last minute running in, phew! I'll join in. Have alot on IRL, but I want this book finished!
