Fantasy, Horror, and Science Fiction

Summer Writing

22 June 2009 by Matthew Lowes

It’s almost time for my July writing intensive and I’m gearing up to get a big chunk of my new book written. Last summer I wrote 32,000 words in July and finished the first draft of Journey to Elara. This summer I will be pounding out a big part of book 2: Dark Mage of Midgard, with the goal of having a first draft by Christmas.

So far so good. I did 800 words on Thursday, a 1000 yesterday and today, and I’m looking forward to another good day tomorrow. The story is going great so far, so I’m looking forward to an exciting summer. Come July 1st I’ll really be pouring on the steam.
