Unbeknownst to many around him, Michael, a native Texan, is an immortal who has sat at the Round Table with King Arthur and listened to the wisdom of Merlin. His father, when Michael asked if he could help a halfling take a ring to Mordor, told him to go mow the yard instead. Thankfully, he was allowed to go with Jason after the Golden Fleece and fought against a horde of skeleton warriors. When he was sixteen he was tied to the mast of a ship with Ulysses and heard the sirens sing. Once, he traveled to France with the Scarlet Pimpernel and helped him free nobles there. Some fun facts: Michael lost his pet dragon, “Old Blue,” in a Gwent game against Zotlan the dwarf. He dated Grendel’s mom, (only one time) and swears he’s not the father.

After spending ten years in Azeroth he decided it was time to move back to Texas.
These days he spends his time between Texas and the Corvarix Age kingdoms of Havenfurst, Finavoré, Kedgewich, and Fjolkgard. Michael writes the tales of those lands until his lovely wife, Kara, says it’s time for dinner.

Alas my hero is in the dread grasp of his hated enemy. This is kinda like writing yourself into a corner. I think I have figured out how to get out of the corner. :) I write every day but I don't always report every day :(

“Writing every day is definitely the secret - even if you’re not logging it!” Rachael
“Sometimes the best writing is when we need to get out of a corner. I just listen to the characters tell me what they do and then write it (I am still on the "bucket of hopeful seawater level so don`t take anything I say too seriously until I publish and learn if I know anything.” wlarson

Finished up a fight scene. These are my favorites to write.

“I bet they're fun!” Rachael
“When I had a productive day writing about a character that was stabbed, our fearless leader suggested that it would help me if I stabbed another character. The action helps.” wlarson

Good words tonight. Had to do some directional work which makes flow a bit harder but it is good work.

A good night of writing! I like where this first draft if going. It is just over 53k now, so I am about halfway done with the first draft as well. My goal is to publish 3 books this year.

Had to do some cutting tonight, found some repetition and parts I didn't need, started out ~400 in the hole.

This is two days worth. I get tired and forget to log my sessions sometimes.

“At least you've been doing it... well done!” ChapelWitch

For some reason inner dialogue is the hardest for me to write. Getting into the character's feelings and really relaying them is a task all on it's own.

I did a lot of outlining and filling in backstory tonight. Many of those words don't show up on the page, but they are there nonetheless. I've never been one for outlining but today at work I had some lull time and decided to do some. It sure helps when you sit down to write. I hope I don't lose my Pantster Card because I really liked outlining. :P

“Now you have the best of both worlds card to play!” ChapelWitch

“Distractions are the bane of my life... well done!” ChapelWitch

We had been displaced from our home due to remodeling going on, so I haven't gotten to report much, but back home now.

“Good for you!” ChapelWitch

I did a heavy revision of a fight scene and started the night in the negatives. It was worth it to get the punch of the scene right and the emotional tone where I wanted it. I am at 40k words for this work, I am shooting for 100k so we are closing in.

“It is always a good feel when you edit, lose 300 odd words and still get some good net positive words in. Well done!” wlarson

Finally back after the holidays. I got in a bit but during Christmas but did not log it here.

“Holidays did me in for logging progress, too.” Craig

consistency is key, showing up every day is what matters most.
