Writing Report, 3/18/13

I’ve updated the writing report up at the top of the page, if anyone is paying attention.  I started a new story tonight and completed 629 words.  I’ve got a market in mind for this one that closes at the end of the month.  Not really sure where this one is going.  It’s an installment in my Prince Balthar and Rodrik series.  I’ve got three of them already in various stages of completion.  The logical thing would have been to finish one of those, except I’m not sure what to do with two of them, and the third I want to submit somewhere else.  So I decided to start this one.  I hope to have it finished within the week.  It’s part of the things I didn’t manage to get done over spring break.  My intention is to work on it every day until I type the last word.  I’ll update the writing report as I go along.

Scott Oden Writes a Story on his Blog

Scott Oden started writing a historical short story on his blog this week.  He’s outlining the process he uses when he writes fiction, letting us in on his methods.  Plus it’s shaping up to be a really good story.

He’s four days into it.  Here are the links:  Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4.

Scott Oden is the author of The Lion of Cairo.  It’s in the queue, and I hope to have a review of it posted by Christmas.
