The Game Of Inches
  • So far, the novel goes. I think it even goes well, but right now, I’m really just looking for it to tumble forward to some kind of conclusion. I’m 30k deep, and today was a 3k day, which isn’t terrible given that I’m doing other work (secret video game, 4th draft of film script, development on Mirrors, etc.).

    I think the biggest happy spot here is that, I’m enjoying the writing process. I dunno what it was, but it used to be that sitting down and banging out a novel terrified me. It gave me this sick feeling in my stomach. Some gross uncertainty nipped at my heels. Not so, at least not on this one. I’m comfortable with what it is and where it’s going. It’s now just about the journey to get there. Here’s hoping.

    Anyway. For now, an excerpt. Enjoy. Or don’t. I’m pro-choice.
