#NaNoWriMo: In Which You Are Amazing
Amazing what can happen when you have the finish line in sight. – Nathan Fillion Okay, you got me: he’s not talking about writing, but a (probably justifiably) cancelled TV show, but that doesn’t make it wrong. It’s the 25th. Five days to go.1 By now, one of two things have probably happened — you’ve [...]
Adrift, Episode 6 (podcast) (#nanowrimo)
In which we see how very bad the plan is that Jon, Finn, and Bilabil come up with, and then return to the “princess story” for a bit. I’m particularly happy with both sections. Also: New Microphone! Man, it helped a lot. (Thanks for the loan, Tim!) Comments, as always, welcome. If you’d like to [...]
An excerpt from Adrift (#nanowrimo)
Sorry, but this bit rather tickled me. It’s from the stuff I’m writing today, which is part of one of the “princess stories” Finn used to tell his daughter, and not from the crunchy-hard sci-fi bits with which the main story concerns itself. Still, I hope you like it. I do. “Just… one question, before [...]
Adrift, Episode 5 (podcast) (#nanowrimo)
So, in the last section of the story (episode 4), the characters went off script. The outline clearly reads: Meet Bilabil. Go to to Manifold Bazaar, surprisingly not shot at and not robbed. That’s it. No problems along the way. But did that happen? Noooo. There were problems, even though I’d said that there weren’t [...]
Adrift, Episode 4 (podcast) (#nanowrimo)
Okay, so the guys haven’t quite left the outline behind yet. I’ll talk about that more with Episode 5, when it happens. This one took me bloody ages to get edited, because I couldn’t seem to get a solid take. By the time I got done, I was a leeeeeettle crazy, so I looped in [...]
Adrift, Episode 3 (podcast)
The last episode before the characters wander away from the story outline for about 25 pages. Comments, as always, welcome. If you’d like to subscribe via RSS feed, the address for the podcast-only feed is http://doycetesterman.com/index.php/category/podcasts/feed/. Bones?
Adrift, Episode 2 (podcast)
Trying for a slightly cleaner delivery, despite the headset mic. Pretty happy with how the story’s going, actually. Highly unlikely I’ll ‘finish’ it in November, though, so expect these through December at least. What I should do is put this whole thing on hold until I finish writing the damn draft. That’s what everyone with [...]
