A tale of two scenes.
Yep, I’m damn proud of myself. I got two scenes written today :) I
would like to do a third, but it is now 2am, and my wife would be rather upset
with me if I stayed up another two hours to write another scene.
Meh.
I also did something I rarely do. Instead of hand writing the scene, I typed
the whole of it. Just sat down and started pecking away. Would have been cool
to do it on my typewriter, but then I’d have to retype it into the computer,
and I’m out of typewriter ribbon anyway. I need to buy some of that.
Anyway, the point of that statement is simply that typing the scene
straight into the computer would save me a complicated step, and possibly increase
the speed at which this novel is produced. Or something like that.
But, then, I kind of like the aesthetics of hand writing and working
late into the night. Though I really need to take into account how long it’s
taking to get these things done. In fact, I still have a novel that I haven’t
typed a single word of. Before I can even start a second draft on that one I’m
going to need to type it. So, I think I’m going to make typing the official
medium of Mr. Ryan Smith.
I also had an awesome idea for a kid’s book, comic book, sort of thing.
I dunno. I’m not going to share it here, cause I don’t think the idea for the
book has developed well enough. I will say, however, that it is inspired by the
Bunnicula books, which I still need to read.
Anywho, that’s all for me tonight.

PS: I am now almost halfway to my word count goal. I think this book
might turn out to be longer than I expected. For instance I’m still 10
scenes/chapters away from where I’ve got “the middle” of the book. So, I kind
of think I’m running over my estimated word count with just about every scene. Lol.
