Track the Progress of Broadcast 10!

This week work on Spinward Fringe Broadcast 10: Freeground began, and I have to say I'm enjoying myself immensely. The correlation to how much I enjoy writing a book to how many five star ratings it gets is pretty clear to me at this point. The solution? Only write stories I find worthwhile, dramatic, emotional and that are fun in many places.

The war continues in Broadcast 10, and I can't wait to finish this so I can have this in front of you. It's good to be back from writing horror, which was a very interesting departure for a while. I plan on returning to that genre, but I think I'll finish writing a couple more Spinward Fringe novels first.

I hope that's all right with everyone!

Now, thanks to National Novel Writing Month (and my participation in it), you can track my progress as I write this draft of the novel. The normal requirement to "win" NaNoWriMo is to complete 50,000 words in 30 days, but I'm doubling down, shooting for at least 100,000 words in November. By clicking the link below, you can see how I'm doing, and how many words I'm putting down per day. I'll be updating the count until early evening every day until I'm finished the rough draft.

That Geek Podcast Episode 5: The 2012 National Novel Writing Month Special


Stephanie, Sylvie and Randy talk about NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). We explain what it is, what it's like to write 50,000 words in a month, and, since all three of us are veterans of the event, we impart some helpful advice.

For a basic tour of NaNoWrimo, the events, where to go to sign up, and a few interesting insights into a writer's brain, this is a great episode.

So far, Sylvie is behind in her word count, and Randy is joining the "Oh Shit Brigade" off with a bang by joining NaNoWriMo on the 15th of November, half way in to the event. That's a promise to write 50,000 words in the second half of the month. We'll get an update on his  and everyone else's progress next episode!
