- more writing
Went back through what I have… played around a bit with formatting… think I finally have settled on one format. For now. I’ve also added a bunch of stuff and started flushing out the skeleton. At this rate, I should be done in about 25 years.
- back at it
After a short (but needed) break from working on the book, I am (as the subject might suggest) back at it. Today’s writing (so far) has consisted of a paragraph on the “two bows, two handclaps, one bow” ritual often seen in AikidÅ dÅjÅ. Admittedly, that isn’t a whole lot of work, but some writing [...]
- back at it
I’m just now getting over a short bout with the flu (I think this is #4 in 5 months). I need to make an appointment for some blood work, cuz this is just getting ridiculous. I’ve been sick more in the past 6 months than I have been in the past 6 years. I spent [...]
- keepin’ on keepin’ on
Well, I’ve managed to work my way through the first rough draft of the whole book. To say it is skeletal at best is being generous. Now I need to go back and flesh out everything. Let the real work begin!
- ATTACK!!!
Wrote a buttload tonight. Made it through: chapter 5: Fundamentals chapter 6: Attacks mid-chapter 7: Techniques I’d keep going, but I’m beat. Sleepy time…
- soooo tired
It would appear that I’m working on chapter 5 now. The more I work on this book, the more I think that I can’t even call this a 1st draft yet. Maybe I’ll just say I’m on my .5th draft and round up. If my outline stands, I should eventually have 10 chapters, which means [...]
- new idea?
I came up with another idea for a book last night, only this time, it’s a fictional period spy thriller piece thingy. I wrote down (hopefully) enough of a synopsis to remind me what the hell I was thinking of so that when I finish with my current book, I’ll have enough to go on [...]
- And in the morning… I’m makin’ waffles!
Actually, I already made waffles. And they were pretty good. Thank you, Krusteaz. After feasting on said waffles, I spent a few hours working on the book. I’m only through part of the 1st draft of chapter 3 (of probably about 10), but I’m already up to 52 pages. I’m thinking this book might turn [...]
- so far
I didn’t get a ton of stuff done last night. In fact, I actually fell asleep before midnight. Not only that, I slept a full 8 hours. This is rather unusual for me. Got a membership to L.A. Fatness, so I’m going over there later today to look into yoga classes.
- reishiki
Did some more writing today. So far, I’m up to about 46 pages. Today was all about reishiki, or Japanese customs and courtesies. Fun stuff. I found I had to break out the outline, as I had started drifting off course. Bad juju. I wrote the damn outline to prevent stuff like this from happening [...]
