jon_chaissonMonday I did a marathon writing session lasting four and a half hours...had to finish off an article for Vision, an online writing zine (check it out at www.lazette.net/Vision ). And after that I continued working on my latest story for another few hours...all in all I hit a record high of 2304 words. Damn, I'm good. ;)
Okay, so you're wondering--why do we writers count words, rather than pages? Well, it's a habit we get into because publishers ask for word count, not page count when you submit to them. More on this later, as it entails a long-winded explanation.
Speaking of writing--I highly suggest y'all check out www.fmwriters.com ...this site was originally started by SF/F writer Holly Lisle, who has since moved on to concentrate more on real life and other works...still, it's a great place to hang out, whether you're a professional or just starting out.
End of shameless plug.
In other news...Check out these new CDs. They kick major butt.
Elbow, Cast of Thousands
Explosions In the Sky, The World Is Not a Cold Dead Place
Air, Talkie Walkie
Starsailor, Silence Is Easy
The Church, Forget Yourself
