I wrote 1714 words this week, a surprising amount of which centred around a flask of water. Progress is being made, despite the pre-Christmas chaos! #writeeveryday

I'm working on a new book, so it's time to resurrect the accountability posts! I #amwriting - this week I wrote on 6 days out of 7 (so almost #writeeveryday), for a total of 2565 words (which is comfortably more than #200wordsaday). All of them were set on-board a... spaceship!

Enlightenment - the 4th book in the Entanglement series - is out today! If you've been with Estrel since the napkin, since the explosion, since "Find Mouse" - this is where his story comes together. The culmination of Estrel's journey. The end of Phase I. books.philoddy.com/dycxts0r3b

I wrote 2282 words today, which I'm pretty darned pleased with. We meet a familiar character earlier than we've even known them before and discover something about their motivations #amwriting #writeeveryday #200wordsaday

I wrote 666 words today, which is quite the omen... don't think it's the first time that's happened to me at random, either. Is there something I should know? #amwriting #writeeveryday #200wordsaday

I'm on holiday, but so far I've written 2893 words and finally... finally we might be figuring out what on earth has been happing #amwriting #writeeveryday #200wordsaday

I wrote 1563 words today, in which there is evidence of the presence of a very large spider #amwriting #writeeveryday #200wordsaday

I wrote 469 words today (after a particularly poor writing weekend... oh well, am back on the horse now) Someone has just realised how much power they really have and are wondering how to use it #amwriting #200wordsaday

Today I wrote 590 words, in which someone gets caught in a lie #amwriting #writeeveryday #200wordsaday

I’ve become very stop/start on this book but I did write 1839 words today. Definitely behind schedule but I’m getting there… #amwriting #200wordsaday

I wrote 1287 words today and I knew that [redacted] was going to die but, even as the author, I had know idea that it was going to be [redacted]'s fault #amwriting #writeeveryday #200wordsaday

I wrote 1625 words today and the last time we were in this particular place, something pretty catastrophic happened. Lightening can't strike twice, can it? #amwriting #writeeveryday #200wordsaday

I wrote 1386 words today, in which someone screws up a situation quite badly in a way that might have negative repercussions later on... (ie. the very next chapter) #amwriting #200wordsaday #writeeveryday

Had a very nice couple of hours yesterday with Number Two son at Basildon comicon. He came home happy with toys, posters and key rings, I came home happier with new books by @markstay.bsky.social and @philoddy.com, who both had stalls at the venue. #books #booksky #author #reading

I wrote 1045 words today, with some sympathy for the devil... #amwriting #writeeveryday #200wordsaday

I keep forgetting to do this... I wrote 1298 words today, including an unsettling conversation with a strange girl. #amwriting #writeeveryday #200wordsaday

I wrote 1254 words today, set in someone's very messy house. #amwriting #writeeveryday #200wordsaday

I wrote 1312 words today, in which one of my characters makes a very convincing argument that potentially undermines the entire premise of this series of books. Let's see how I get out of that one... #amwriting #writeeveryday #200wordsaday

I wrote 969 words today. What would you do if you could go back and have *that* argument again? You know the one... #amwriting #writeeveryday #200wordsaday

I wrote 1530 words today (I wrote quite a few over the last few days but I've been very bad as posting them). Today there we had mistaken identity, a reunion and a domestic argument. #amwritting #writeeveryday #200wordsaday

I wrote 925 words today, which isn't bad considering I had to get up at midnight to go into work and I'm running on fumes right now. So excited about the story I'm telling at the moment, though. I can't not write it! #amwriting #writeeveryday #200wordsaday

I wrote 1350 words today, with a visit to a location from Echoes. I was able to pay off some of the things I've been seeding for the last few books, which was fun. Some of them weren't even planned, but now they going to look like they were. Ha! #amwriting #writeeveryday #200wordsaday

Guys! I think I've figured out what GRR Martin's problem is! His kitchen drain probably keeps blocking so he needs to go and clear it and that's why he can't finish The Winds Of Winter. I did write 406 words today, but I was aiming for more. Stupid drain. #amwriting #writeeveryday #200wordsaday

I wrote 425 words today, with a bit of light time travel involved #amwriting #writeeveryday #200wordsaday

I wrote 821 words today, and I slipped in a little Easter Egg. It's probably just for me and won't make the final draft, but I enjoyed it. It has something to do with this guy... #amwriting #writeeveryday #200wordsaday

I've dropped the #writeeveryday ball of late. I have many excuses, but those won't get my book written. Today I got back on the horse, and wrote 1259 words. Let's see if I can do it again tomorrow! #amwriting #200wordsaday

This weekend I’m going to be part of @mcmcomiccon.bsky.social Writers Block… I’m at table WB26 - very excited about this, it would be great to see you there! #indieauthor #comiccon #mcmcomiccon #writersblock

I wrote 746 words today, and everyone is having trouble telling people apart... #amwriting #writeeveryday #200wordsaday

I wrote 1258 words today, and when the story demands a sacrifice... who I am to refuse? #amwriting #writeeveryday #200wordsaday

I wrote 779 words today. There's been an extended bit of dialog which is me trying to figure out exactly where we've got to by having my characters talk about it for a bit. It's helped me. It might help them. But they're about to come to a poor conclusion #amwriting #writeeveryday #200wordsaday

I wrote exactly 800 words today, bringing two characters back together who ran away from each other in Chapter Two. This is good because the plot can't progress unless they unite. #amwriting #writeeveryday #200wordsaday

I wrote 747 words today #amwriting #writeeveryday #200wordsaday

I wrote 804 words today, in which someone encounters a somewhat unusual robot #amwriting #writeeveryday #200wordsaday

I wrote 1012 words today and... I predict a riot #amwriting #writeeveryday #200wordsaday

I wrote 734 words today. A bit of light hacking, some parallel realities thrown in for good measure... #amwriting #writeeveryday #200wordsaday

I wrote 726 words today, and someone had a truly shocking experience... #amwriting #writeeveryday #200wordsaday

Today I #amwriting outside! Just started a new scene, not sure where it’s going, but it’s always fun to find out! #writeeveryday #200wordsaday

I wrote 907 words today. This is an interrogation scene. It's hard to tell who's really in control of it. It's certainly not me, I'm just writing it down... #amwriting #writeeveryday #200wordsaday

I wrote 825 words today, and someone is trying to make a call to a mysterious secret someone... who turns out to be someone we actually know pretty well. Love me a returning character! #amwriting #writeeveryday #200wordsaday

I wrote 858 words today, about a map showing the way to a place that doesn't exist... #amwriting #writeeveryday #200wordsaday

I wrote 512 words today, mostly about maps... #amwriting #writeeveryday #200wordsaday

I wrote 480 words of internal monologue today. They were a struggle and I don't think I've got the through line of the argument right, but the end result is that my main character decides they're confused and needs to go to the library. I can rewrite later. #amwriting #writeeveryday #200wordsaday
