I consider it a challenge before the whole human race

Posted on | 3 months, 1 week ago, in the early afternoon | 3 Comments

Here’s today’s progress on my comic/sci-fi young adult project where a girl becomes a ninja and fights aliens with much ass-kicking and many LOLs but not a whole lot of kissing (or any kissing, to be frank) plus BONUS Bruce Lee’s ghost, a vintage Thunderbird, zenlightenment on the fly, and fat stacks of Cool Ranch Doritos.


    Project: Ninja Planet
    Deadline: Sooner rather than later
    New words written: 833 (plus some editing/revising)
    Present total word count: 54,041 words



    Things accomplished in fiction: It’s all over but the shouting. Actually, the shouting’s over, too.

    Things accomplished in real life: Daily jaunt around the neighborhood with the dog; went and got my hair did; nice long phone call with Yanni; inbox kept down to zero, go me.

    Other: DRAFT ZERO, Y’ALL. It’s a rough draft zero – the second half is particularly rough, I’ll grant you. But the book … she is whole. And I am happy. And now I’m going to get dressed up and go to Mary’s birthday party. [:: throws confetti ::]

    Number of fiction words so far this year: 15,023

    BRUCE LEE’S GHOST!

    That’ll be my new ODIN’S BEARD. Fantastic.

    YA with no kissing. Up my particular alley, that is.

    Congrats on Draft Zero!

    Does proofing and such count as ‘words’ for the streak, or do you have another project or two to jump into?
