Seems like all I do is post upgrade posts, eh?  I’m working on stuff, don’t worry.

I’m pleased to report that the eleventh episode of Ex Populo, “Maybe We Could Go Back to Then, Part Two,” was completed in the first draft this evening. It has been some time since I was able to concentrate on the characters from the Ex Populo series, that it felt very good to be able to sit down and knock out a couple thousand words about this cast.

This episode ends on a much higher note than the one immediately preceding it. Since this episode has not yet been published, I will not spoil the details, but needless to say that a core character makes a life-altering decision and it causes strife amongst the senior staff. I had a lot of fun writing this episode, as we began to really get to know Amy and Jacque, Ryan and Lucy, and Nik and Leslie. And if it seems as though everyone is pairing up in this series, I think by the time you get to the end of the first season, you may not be happy with some of the outcomes of those relationships.

Completing Ex Populo 11 allows me to move on to the twelfth episode, “The Call of Duty,” where we meet a new character and slowly integrate her into the story arc. I’m really looking forward to writing it.

If you have not yet already done so, I highly recommend signing up for a site called Goodreads.  Although I had a lot of fun configuring and manipulating the Now Reading plugin since its installation some time ago, I have found the Good Reads site to be far more robust for cataloging the books I have read, as well as those I intend to read.  I think one of the best aspects of the site is the fact that you may see what others are reading and whether they recommend it or not.  It also allows you to sell, trade, or allow people to borrow from your library, if you choose to do so.

Although it might seem as though adding your library would be a daunting task, it will assist you by downloading your Amazon.com purchases from your account and add those into your library.

Check out the site and see if it meets your expectations.

I had originally not intended to participate in this year’s National Novel Writing Month, but one of my inner voices reminded me that going for the third win would help me in putting more of Mejen Knight’s story on paper.  So, I am throwing out the awful first draft of Knight Commissioned I had rotting in one of my document folders and starting from scratch.  I’m not sure if I will even keep the old outline or not, but for the moment, I will use a similarly plotted first chapter to get the ball rolling.

Have you ever sat down and reread something written so long ago that it seems like you were reading someone else’s writing?  When I scanned over the original Knight Commissioned, I felt like I was reading something someone wrote back in high school.  Lots of sentence structure problems and just plain raw writing with no polish whatsoever.  It was literally a joy to delete that document.

If you are a fellow participant, then I wish you the very best of luck in getting your 50,000 words!
