Where I Wrote: I started in City Hall Park, but, when I needed to search for a restroom, I wound up walking back to South Street Seaport, where I found Cannon's Walk. How I Feel About What I Wrote: Really good, although, more than any other day, I was aware that what I wrote needs... Continue Reading →
30 Days of NaNoWriMo – Day 8: Admitting Defeat
Where I Tried to Write: First I stopped by the NaNoWriMo write-in at Paragraph. Then it was on to a handful of places around Union Square before I gave up and went home. How I Feel About What I Wrote: I feel like I wrote exactly 20 words today. The Mood I Brought to the Table: A... Continue Reading →
30 Days of NaNoWriMo – Day 7: Nearly Perfect
Where I Wrote: Another crawl (these are becoming the norm). I tried the City Bakery first but they were full. From there, I found a few spots on the High Line and then ended in Chelsea Market (that is, not in one of the restaurants in Chelsea Market, but a spot in the market's main... Continue Reading →
30 Days of NaNoWriMo – Day 6: Breaking the Ritual
Where I Wrote: The laundromat down the street. And then, home. I immediately feel bad for not hitting somewhere interesting today, but I'll explain. How I Feel About What I Wrote: Fantastic. Today saw the moment where the last piece of the plot fell into place; I now have a full plot for Memory. And, thankfully, it all... Continue Reading →
30 Days of NaNoWriMo – Day 5: Not According to Plan
Where I Wrote: Just a crawl of bad writing spots (not intentionally, of course). I began on the Central Park side of the water fountain on the northeast corner of 59th and Central Park West. Then Whole Foods in the Time Warner Center. How I Feel About What I Wrote: I did make the tough... Continue Reading →
30 Days of NaNoWriMo – Day 4: Maintenance
Where I Wrote: Bronx Park, just a short walk from one of the entrances to the Bronx Zoo. How I Feel About What I Wrote: Really good. I was actually confused by how much I got out and how quickly it happened (from just before sunset to just after). It's enough to balance the fact... Continue Reading →
30 Days of NaNoWriMo – Day 3: Catching Up
Where I Wrote: Pier 15 at South Street Seaport. How I Feel About What I Wrote: Really awesome. At worst, a tiny bit worried that I'm being too indulgent with my main characters in Memory. The Mood I Brought to the Table: Really, really good. The Experience: I got out early today, just as I'd planned after... Continue Reading →
30 Days of NaNoWriMo – Day 2: Baby Steps
Where I Wrote: A Barnes & Noble Cafe in the Bronx. How I Feel About What I Wrote: Aside from not getting enough done, I actually feel great about what I wrote. The Mood I Brought to the Table: Really good. The Experience: Well, today was absolutely a collection of lessons. Lesson 1: I'm fine with... Continue Reading →
30 Days of NaNoWriMo – Day 1: The Worst Possible Start
I've been contemplating doing daily posts for a while now; partially because I wondered if I could manage them. But also because I'm getting tired of the article-styled posts. I've never been keen on getting very personal here, likely because my personal life totally blows. But there's a way to write about my life that... Continue Reading →
Update: The Age of Submissions Already Sucks
I wasn't intending to do another update immediately; last weekend was the first weekend without Saturday morning cartoons, as you may have heard. That made this past Monday the perfect time to launch my Cliché Showcase series (I'm starting with cartoony villains). But when the time came, I just wasn't feeling it. Although I was excited to...
