Writing

[lizwilliams]

I haven't joined any of the novel-writing programmes (though I think they're a good idea) as raw fear (of not paying my mortgage) motivates me well enough as a deadline. But I'm still attempting, and mainly succeeding, in getting 1K of WINTERSTRIKE done per day and the new Chen book is underway as light relief. WS is annoying me: it has loose threads and lots of holes. It needs darns, and untangling, and then having all the loose bits grasped together and gently pulled. This will happen, just not yet.

Thank you so much for admitting that :) My project is nothing but loose threads and holes. It is absolutely true, I'm afraid, that misery loves company....

Part of the purpose of this blog (you'd never know it sometimes) is to give people an idea of the process of pro writing. It's not always a smooth process, even after 14-ish novels! Hang in there...

Whoah! As a big fan of yours, this has made my day! Thank you so much!

There are at least 4 more - either out there or en route (DEMON AND THE CITY and PRECIOUS DRAGON have been published, and we're waiting to edit THE SHADOW PAVILION). I'm about 2K into the next one...

I'm really looking forward to all of them. These days it is so rare for me to really deeply enjoy a book and all I can say is...thanks and I'm so glad you've hit a vein with these!
