ellarien: writing is ... (writing)
I've joined [livejournal.com profile] thing_in_150, whereby I undertake to write 500 words every day for the next five months. I think that's about my speed, if I can keep it up.

My 'thing' will be to finish:
  • Undone, the story I started at Christmas, currently at 14,278 words

  • Defector, started in 2001, currently at 7458 words.

  • Vortex, started in 1997, currently at 13,860 words.



If the experience of working on Undone has taught me anything, it's that I'm hopeless at projecting length, but I think 20,000 words should take care of those three. After that, there's Behemoth 47, the 'real' novel I've been planning off and on for the last few years. It would be nice to finish a draft of that this year, but if I'm not ready I have a few other ideas.

Mission Statement

Reading, writing, plant photography, and the small details of my life, with digressions into science and computing.
