Novum: Revelation at 10,000 words

Just hit 10,000 words for the 4th book in my Novum series, and the action is just getting started. Looks like this will be a longer book than the last three, which is good news for my readers. Even better news is that I'm going to have 4 evenings per week to write for the next 2 weeks, due to my kids' sport schedules, which is double what I have now. If it doesn't burn me out, I should be able to get really far in my story this month. More later...

Writing alone? Not so much.

Long ago I switched from writing screenplays to writing novels because I believed that I needed "absolute full control" of my creations. Now, as I ease back into the Screenwriting world, I'm reminded that unless you're literally a genius, or figuratively an idiot, everything you create will be a group effort. Beta readers, editors, and friends will all influence and sometimes drastically alter your final product. And that will make it better. Accept that. Embrace that.

Personal milestones achieved!

As of yesterday, I have completed a 114-page feature screenplay as well as a 25,000-word novella, both called Rogue Wave. I also wrote a 2-page film pitch for the script which I'm quite happy with. This was my goal for the year, as an attempt to restart my writing after a 5-year hiatus following my brother Dave's passing in 2019. I think I'm back and I know he would be Happy. 👍
