The Dreaded Gerunds by Kathryn Flatt 7/16/2013 7:05:54 AM
I had an early doctor's appointment today, but then I got right back to work on "Resistance" when I got home. Then I totally lost track of the clock. Yesterday, I started adding to the manuscript at page 102. It's now past 134. To be fair, I'm liftin... more

Excited by Kathryn Flatt 7/15/2013 6:58:34 AM
Had some errands to run this morning, but now I'm back into "Resistance." I had a lot of good ideas over the weekend and can't wait to get them down in words. First, though, there's a bit of tweaking to do in what I've already written, but I expect t... more

Keigo Higashino by Glen glenebisch@comcast.net 7/14/2013 6:00:46 AM
Keigo Higashino, the Japanese mystery writer, is already quite well known. His book, The Devotion of Suspect X, was a finalist for the Edgar Award. I have just finished reading his latest, Salvation of a Saint. Higashino's novels combine a psychol... more

Busy Day by Kathryn Flatt 7/12/2013 7:36:54 AM
I wish I had more time to write today, but I have company coming this weekend and so have to do all that housework I normally put off in favor of writing the rest of the time.
"Resistance" is coming along really well. I've started thinking o... more

New Energy by Kathryn Flatt 7/11/2013 6:33:16 AM
Halting work on "The Janus Rule" to work on a different novel, working title "Resistance," has proven to be a tonic for my writing lethargy. Of course, I already have a fully-developed manuscript to start with, but a great deal of it must be changed ... more

My Fickle Muse by Kathryn Flatt 7/10/2013 7:22:25 AM
I think I might have Attention Deficit Disorder or something. I have been working on restructuring "The Janus Rule" and I thought it was going well. Then I bogged down. As I moved segments of text around and tried to maintain the proper sequence, my ... more

Getting Down and Catching Up by Kathryn Flatt 7/8/2013 5:02:44 AM
With the holiday weekend over, it's time to get back to it. This morning, I started looking at "The Janus Rule" to see how to fix the problem I found last week, i.e., things progressing too fast. Doing this revision now may help solidify the vision f... more

Uh-Oh by Kathryn Flatt 7/4/2013 6:37:50 AM
Yesterday, in the face of issues with where the story should go next, I paused to make a timeline document, nothing more than a list by day of the major events. In so doing, it became apparent that too much was happening on each day. Maybe not a prob... more

Muse Takes A Holiday by Kathryn Flatt 7/3/2013 6:01:34 AM
At another of those spots where I'm not sure what's supposed to happen next, so I'm taking a short break, certain that if I do, it'll just come to me. That's how it usually happens at least. For some reason, the creative process can break down while ... more

Best Laid Plans by Kathryn Flatt 7/2/2013 6:30:09 AM
I sat down at my computer this morning with the plan to pound out a lot of pages on "The Janus Rule," but the great ideas I had in my head proved to be more difficult to put down. There are times where I will work out entire passages of dialog in my ... more

Changing It Up by Kathryn Flatt 7/1/2013 6:52:34 AM
Generally, I don't do much "real" writing on weekends and holidays when my hubby is not at work, but I do a fair amount of thinking about it. I don't know that a serious writer can ever stop thinking about it. Anyway, an idea came to me over the week... more

What Happens Next? by Kathryn Flatt 6/28/2013 6:34:30 AM
New scene in "The Janus Rule." Angel is about to do some investigating Jack would frown on, and I knew this was coming. What I haven't figured out yet is what she's going to find as a result. It's a bold move on her part, and that means she must find... more

Getting Organized by Kathryn Flatt 6/27/2013 7:19:58 AM
Not too much writing going on yet today, but I'll be getting on it after lunch some. I started on a long-overdue project to straighten out my home filing system, still in disarray after moving to this house two years ago. Papers misfiled, in no parti... more

Bogged Down Again by Kathryn Flatt 6/26/2013 7:22:19 AM
Progress slowing down on "The Janus Rule" and I suspect other authors more organized than I am would say that lack of organization was to blame. I got through the scenes I found inspiration for the other day, but now I don't know where to go next. I'... more
