I'm kind of... ...not writing. I suspect I'm less well prepared for my novel than I thought I was--I've been opening the document file and staring at it and closing it without adding anything new. Perhaps making the outline a bit clearer would help. Tonight, I'm...
Paradigm shift.
Now that I'm working on a novel, I keep having to tell myself to slow down, that I have plenty of room. I'm not convinced it's working. In fact, I think I'm going to have to go back and flesh stuff out. I've got stuff in here that's taking paragraphs that probably...
Coping with novel anxiety.
I actually have... an outline. And the motivational spreadsheet of doom to track my wordcount. And... version control. Yes, version control, like programmers use. Why, yes, I am a geek. But I could have used version control sooner--I realized at one point that I'd...
On second thought…
...I don't think NaNoWriMo is what I'm looking for with Lizardfic the novel. NaNoWriMo still might be fun, but... not for Lizardfic. Which means that I need to come up with an outline, and a daily wordcount goal. Otherwise it'll sit around my hard drive doing nothing....

Immortal Gifts invites readers to re-evaluate the meanings of things such as life, death, freedom, hate and love from the first page. Katherine Villyard manages to capture some of the most poignant questions we ask ourselves as we go through our individual lives. Is it worth being able to live forever if, in the end, we’ll lose the ones we love to mortality? Is Death really the ultimate enemy to life, or is death just life’s misunderstood old friend? To stop hate, do we need to restrict our freedoms? This book makes readers ask and answer tough questions not only about the characters and plotline, but about their own beliefs, understandings, and dreams.
