Progress on Winter Writing Festival!

Score! I’ve been working on gaming material in addition to the short story, Ride Softly. Play-through of newly written material is worth five points. Monday we had a gaming session and a play through. Definitely a work in progress because we were carefully revising material as we went. However, it was FUN and amazing! The main idea for the boat challenge was my co-GM’s (who is friggin’ brilliant and a great mentor).

Gamers on on the edge of their seats for two hours. Happy dance!

Five points towards my point count — yay! Five points is a big landmark.

In addition to the role play files (which I’ve been updating with our play summary) I’m also back to writing Ride Softly, except this time I’m making a lot of progress. Getting the characters in there, the voice, the mood (very important), and how places smell (or taste). The good stuff that provides intuitive foreshadowing.

So, one more point for Tuesday and Thursday each, and I’m up to 17 points. Score!

    Shadows

    Several times over the summer I’ve though caught glimpes of a shadow-cat wandering around the house. Is it my eyesight? A left-over of the floating filiments seen in migraine-inspired sight? I’m not sure. The shape always seems to be Basette-sized, slipping around the edges of my vision. It’s comforting to think she might drop in…

    One Last Purr

    Basette was my Little Black Wonder Cat. She recently crossed the Rainbow Bridge on June 11, 2004. It has been so hard to try and write anything here since that time. This blog journaled her story, the intense roller coaster ride from February through June, and beyond. Funny how treating and nursing a pet through…

    Tonight, we write

    The characters are playing. Specifically: one story, Ride Softly, is pounding to be written. I’m seven pages in, which doesn’t sound like a lot until you consider it’s the most fiction I’ve written in a year (much less in two sittings). It’s Isis’ story, with a twist. When I write her scenes, I have my…
