***100/60***
Going to try a little experiment based on the presumption one can complete NaNoWriMo by writing approximately 98 words an hour for 17 hours per day (presuming 7 hours of sleep.) I'm going to find a day sometime between now and November 1st and write an average of 100 words per hour and see the results. I call it the "100/60" Experiment.

***Weekend of writing***
Following on the heels of the Friday Word War over at Forward Motion, I spent Saturday afternoon and evening just writing. Specifically, I practiced timed writing exercises. Very interesting time, especially when both The Editor and The Muse suddenly made their presence known. I think I wrote four pages (over a thousand words) of dialogue between the three of us. NOTE: It's bad enough when you piss off one or the other, but never both at the same time. Neither one sulks quietly....

On Sunday, I attended the Stephen R. Donalson signing down in San Diego. I'll be honest, he's not the most scintillating speaker. A thin, white-haired, older gentleman, I noted he gestured a lot while speaking in an articulate, yet, rapid-fire manner. He was tired from the tour and I agreed.

But I wasn't there for the author per se, but more about his thoughts and his background. What I learned was:



Overall, I'm glad I attend the signing and can't wait to read Runes. But first, I'll have to reread the first two chronicles.

***Writing, writing, writing, so much writing....***
Spent much of the afternoon and evening just...writing. Specifically, did lots of timed writing exercies. Gave me the nice average figure of a page (250 words) every 15 minutes.
