I will no longer be posting anything here except chapter uploads for Islands of Fire and Water, and then only when I get on that story again. My 'author blog' -- ie, where I rant about writing and stuff -- has moved to http://katjevanloon.wordpress.com.
I'll still be participating in writer comms on LJ and updating my word count on my profile, as well as the chapter uploads of Islands, but my rants and posts will be on wordpress.
Ciao!

Wrote 2,681 words today. Good words, even. That's 4x my daily goal for January (would be too simple to have a year-long daily goal of 450 words, you see). If I keep this up I'll finish Bellica by the 15th. Sweet.
Torturing characters again. It's what I'm good at. Happiness is for wimps.

sleepy
And, because I hate myself, I'm doing![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif)
getyourwordsoutthis year. I'm pledging 200K words. That's just under 17K a month. Can I do it? Oh yes. I think I can.
By which I mean I MUST BE FRIGGIN INSANE.
Actually, though, when I looked over my word count goals that I'd set for this year ANYway, I realized it added up to 200K exactly. Eerie. And proof that I'm meant to do this, obviously.
Thanks to![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
dameboudiccafor letting me know about it just in time to join. ^_^
Updated my profile page and the website; now all the word count reports from 07/08 are on my site and my profile is less cluttered.
I'm trying like heck to stay up till midnight but I'm sooooo.tireeeeeeeeed.
Sigh. Only an hour and ten minutes. (And yes, I know I dated this post as Jan. 1st I'M CHEATING LEAVE ME ALONE.)
No more Pepsi late at night. Makes me weird.

This one I keep, for now, as my author blog. But my actual writing can be found at Muerta's Tears (note it is no longer at LJ).
Needed a change.

1. Sleeping all day.
2. Reading again. Currently reading The Love of a Good Woman by Alice Munro (collection of short stories) and As Francesca by Martha Baer, a BDSM-y novel I'm enjoying quite a bit.
3. Dinner at 3 am!
4. A multitude of sites.
5. Posting in my LJ instead of writing.
6. Doing the dishes.
7. Cleaning in general.
8. And now, again, sleeping.
Good night, all! (she said at 7 am)

Updated the website. It's a lot prettier now and more simple. I like it. Thank gods for the W3C and their free stylesheets. No work involved for me. Someday when I'm a published author and raking in the dough I'll hire someone to do my sites for me, but for now this is good enough.
confused- Half-way mark!

25,486 words done this month; 163,534 words done total.
And 87% done with the book. :D
I love how I have absolutely no control over the story now. It's fully the characters' tale to tell. I'm just typing it out for them.
