CANDLELIT CHRONICLES: HISTORIC HAUNTS

April 17 272 word count

Well, Gentle Readers, I reached 100 pages on the 14th on the Stage Play for Script Frenzy, and 108 pages (completion)on the 15th; thankfully that's over with for another 11.5 months!


That's the most difficult task I've ever set myself in Creative Writing.





So I reached my April BIW goal (www.book-in-a-week.com) on the 3rd day of the 7, Wed. April 14-at 25 pages, will double it b/c BIW  doesn't end till tomorrow, Sunday April 18.





The second April Mad Dash runs from 12:01 AM tonight till Sat. 11:59 PM. I'm going for 14K on the new novel: 2000 a day word count, equalling 56 pages.

Meanwhile since Thursday I've been rereading First Draft in 30 Days by prolific author Karen Wiesner, which is the subject of the current Workshop for Novel Workshop, and a book I actually own (having won it through a Reader's Loop in 2006 or 2007). So I'm making character list and sketches, setting lists and sketches, plot threads, subplots, etc. Much of what's going in the novel in terms of themes, plot threads, subplots, characters, settings, actual locations from the era, is highlighted and /or outlined and/or hinted at in the play I just finished, so a lot of the background work is done, and of course the research continues. But as of yet, for the first time ever in writing a novel (four completed, two others in progress, one on the back burner for years) I have no title.
