I just finished my 1st draft of #POLLINATIONtheSERIES, Season 4. While my manuscript for #Priapeia rested, I started to play with PTS4, not expecting it to flow so easily. Now after dropping the first draft, back to PRIAPEIA for final edits there. Look at me be productive.
#ProudWriter
Hooray, I've got today's word in my #WIP #Priapeia. At Grandfather's Blue Corn Moon Party, Jule gets the best present any young writer could hope for.
I guess I'm surprised that today's word is "green". Here's what's green in #Priapeia
Hooray! I get to play today! Let me repeat -- I get to play today! The #WIPSnips word is "repeat" which happens 4x in my #Priapeia. In this one, we learn about Jule's favorite sport.
"Fight"? Why, there's a helluva fight in my #WIP #Priapeia -- our protagonist Jule ends up in the hospital!
I finally heard back from one of my beta readers for my latest novella, #priapeia. I've been very uncertain about this book because it's unlike anything I've ever written. It doesn't fit my imprint, if you know what I mean. It's mainstream -- there, I've said it. I don't need to fear that label.
"Massive" appears once in my "resting" WIP #Priapeia -- and it's used in description, so it needs no set-up.
Jule's mom is going to be teaching in NYC, so she's leaving Jule with her father, an ex-minister. #Priapeia
Today's snip is from my "Resting" Novel, #Priapeia.
"Walk" is one of my common words, I guess. Even in this snip, it appears 3x! Jule's grandfather has had "the talk" with him -- you boys remember, "that" talk. And the next day, in the locker room, Jule is discussing it with friends.
#Priapeia
The Word of the Day, "neither", appears 4x in my manuscript for #Priapeia. Jule was born with an abnormally large penis, and is trying to navigate middle school, being on the swim team, and his best friend spreading rumors that he can give himself head...
The WOD today is "science" which appears once in my manuscript #Priapeia. Today, a phone conversation between father and daughter, discussing day care...
Why can't I use this as a cover illustration for #Priapeia? It's perfect in every way.
Maybe not "sweetheart" but I got "sweetie" and that's close enough to todays #WIPSnips word. Some exposition: Naomi's father takes care of her son while she teaches med school in New York. She doesn't necessarily approve of her father being a minister of Priapus, but daycare is expensive.
#Priapeia
It's been a minute since I've had the #WIPSnips daily word. Apparently, I have a character that uses the phrase "I'm serious" a LOT -- interesting to find that out. Here, an interesting conversation between daughter, a doctor, and father, a pastor of Priapus. From #Priapeia
While I'm letting #Priapeia "rest" before I put it through another draft, I'm hacking out Season 4 of #POLLINATIONtheSERIES. Today BOTH #WIP 's have the word of the day. In PRI, a post-scuffle scene with Jule and Sawyer. In POLL, a Sci-Fi moment for Yampa.
It's been a few days since I had the #WIPSnips word. Today is "position" which appears 4x in #Priapeia. In today's snip, Jule and his grandfather have just had a difficult conversation about growing up...
After a couple of days of missing it, I finally have the #WIPSnips word today in my current #WIP, #Priapeia -- "suggest" which appears 5x. In this snip, Jule's mother shows a bit of apprehension about Jule living with her father -- and why...
There's an important scene in my current #WIP #Priapeia that needs to be rewritten, but I don't know how to approach it, so I'm letting it rest a minute. Meanwhile, I began drafting #POLLINATIONtheSERIES Season 4 and I'm already 5K in! Who would've thought...?
Today's #WIPSnips is the word "commit" which occurs 4x in my manuscript for #Priapeia. Today, it's that uncomfortable "facts of life" conversation.
I’ll take “Visualizing my Next Novel” for $1000.
#Priapeia
Today's #WIPSnips is the word "bone" which appears 5x in my story #Priapeia. Today's snip is about swim practice, which never seems to end, no season, no reason...
#WIPSnips word of the day is "tattoo" which appears once in my current novel #Priapeia. Jule's taken some pretty hard hits to the groin -- he's gotta go to the hospital. Luckily, the EMT's are pretty hot.
Today's #WIPSnips word is "activity" which occurs 2x in #Priapeia, both within the same paragraph. Jule was in a fight where he got beat pretty badly -- especially "down there" -- ending in the hospital. The urologist has some advice while healing.
I like doing these. Today's #WIPSnips is "remain" which appears 10x in #Priapeia. Grandfather has been explaining the ancient rites of summoning the fertility gods to young Jule, whose expectations aren't exactly upheld...
#WIPSnips word today is "gold" which appears 6x in #Priapeia -- once as "goldilocks". My snip today is the opening sentences of the novel, so I'm not giving you any exposition at all.
Today's #WIPSnips word is "brain" which I'm surprised to find 5x in my novel, #Priapeia. On this late-summer day, Jule's grandfather explains the basis of Priapism, grandfather's phalli-centric religion.
Today's #WIPSnips is the word "manager" which appears once in my current #WIP, #Priapeia. Jule and his bully got into it at school again -- this time the scrap landed Jule in the hospital because his bully kept punching him... down there.
I'm always surprised to find I HAVE an audience, not that I'm writing for them. I just wrote a novel that is completely different than anything else I've ever written -- #Priapeia -- I have no idea how my readers will take it, but I'm excited about that. Write for you, not for them.
