The Quasiverse Blog

I got another 3k words done yesterday, and nearly five thousand words done today.  After so many false starts and so much frustration it’s more than a relief, it’s like rediscovering a part of myself I thought was lost forever.

The story has really taken off, and I found myself surprised at a couple of incidents I totally did not see coming.

My friend SD questioned how I could be surprised by something I am writing.  I didn’t try to explain … but the simple fact is, I never feel like I am inventing.  I *see* the characters, follow their actions, very much like watching a show or reading some one else’s work.  I don’t know what’s going to happen.  I realized earlier I don’t even know the characters as well as I thought I did – not if they can surprise me!

I didn’t get the stuff done here that I wanted to, but I will definitely have it done by (or maybe on…) the weekend … And tomorrow, I am happy to say, I will start posting “A Jinx in the Ecosystem.”
