Found the writer's guide I wrote about three years ago while I was still in university. It still has some good points, but it's one of those instances where you look back and say "was I really that much of a pretentious little shit?" Okay, it's not THAT bad, but I'm not sure if I'd agree with some of the points I made back then. I should go through it in much more detail, just out of curiosity.
I haven't lost the tendency to make massive documents containing guidelines and tips, however. I spend a good hour and a half this morning editing and adding to a document I've been using off and on to help with writing and editing projects at my work...among other content. That's how I even remembered the old guide in the first place. I wonder if anyone actually reads or uses it...
WMRR is a giant mess of good and bad writing. The guide has brought up some good points to look at when I'm editing this (hopefully) at the end of the year. I am determined to get this done. No jokes this time. For real. I'm sitting at over 150,000 words at the moment, and I shudder to think at the kind of work I'll need to do to try and reduce that as I'll probably try to get it published one day. That's what I hope for, but whether it happens or not is another story. At the very least, a couple people have expressed their desire to read it.

First is the blog of a person I know who also writes and has some interesting insights into Librarian work.
Second was recommended to me as a good guide to help with getting work into the market.
Last is a contest I intend on entering. I'm trying to encourage others to enter, mostly because I know I have no chance of winning and would love to see someone I know published instead.

New Year, New Post
I did hardly anything over the break. I've been reluctant to continue WMRR because I lost a bit of it when my laptop finally died. Thankfully I was diligent about backing up the document (mostly out of paranoia) and only lost about 400 words worth of writing. I rewrote it better anyways.
Speaking of word counts, I am now officially over 90,000 words with the re-completion of chapter 14. The small bits I have of chapter 15 aren't as bad as I thought, and I've had some new insights on how I can complete chapter 12. There are just a few tiny plot points that aren't so tiny to hash out. I have been thinking on this aspect for the past 6 years and I'm still not sure how it will be resolved. I'm hoping that the answer will just...come to me as I write. I am also thinking of re-writing two of the stories I completed in my fiction writing years and see if I can get them cleaned up enough to try submitting them to some magazines or contests. I will learn quickly of the shame of rejection, but I shall try regardless.
Meanwhile...in class...
I walk in on my first day about two minutes too late and notice my prof was playing a cow bell. I still have no idea why. Also, I feel old. I'm pretty sure it's just me. When asked who was NOT intimidated by science in my communications class, only about five of us raised our hands...out of about 40. Then half the class was busy texting and playing games on their phone right in front of the prof. Again, maybe I'm just old and bitter, but why do people seem to be getting more disrespectful?

Oh My God Giez
http://www.tuomas-holopainen.com/main/
Contest contest contest. Why can't I graphic edit or write poetry? I mean I could write a story, but I don't know if I have time. A signed picture by Nightwish band members. That is epic. Tuomas is one of the of the people I REALLY admire as a writer. The writing in his songs is beautiful. I want to enter this contest so bad. I'd never win, but I don't know if I could forgive myself if I didn't. The only other people I'd freak out so much about would be Scott Lynch (author), Neil Gaiman (author), Tracey Yardley (artist), Johnny Depp (don't have to explain that one) and Anne Hathaway (don't have to explain that one either). Just wow guys. Just wow. My English just break. Wow.

String Cheese Manifesto
So my shit-tascular week is thankfully over. Tomorrow I'll get my poorly-written first short story torn to itty bitty bits. My class is generally good about being gentle with such matters, but it will be painful none-the-less. I am planning on actually going to all my classes this week (perish the thought) and I also plan to write like a madman...er woman.
I had about 4 days where I did absolutely nothing. I had to put my dog down last week, which really wounded me in a lot of ways. I'm still recovering. I'm just glad she had a long, mostly healthy life (nearly fifteen years...where the last year she was ill with Cushings). I'll miss her a lot, but I think after a weekend of mourning, spending time with family and friends and being lazy, I am ready to get serious about school and writing again.
I have two tiny little pieces breaking up chapter 8 and 9, which I am actually going to finish today (horray for outragiously long delays). Then I can move on to something completely different, chapter 10. I'm excited to write this one. Here we get a perspective deviating from what I've been writing for the first 90ish pages (it will be around 90 when I'm done the two chapters). I will post a completion percentage update later today when I'm done.
In other news, I have a Dungeon Keeper mission to play and record, my hours at work have been drastically reduced (THANK GOD), I get the Thanksgiving weekend off, we are probably not going to Vegas because we are all dirt-poor and I posted my first assignment in Fiction II here: http://drschwa.deviantart.com/#/d2zyycl. Some wonderful person favourited it. That made my day Saturday. It's not my finest work by any means, but I had a lot of fun writing it, which is what counts in the end.

WOW long post. Last, but certainly not least...
Lately we've been talking in class about the differences between Albertan (North American Western) writers and other larger centres of writing like New York and Ontario. All those huge writing centres are so cut-throat and competative, which is good in a lot of ways, but after our class discussions, I have a new respect from writers who aren't attracted to those places. I recently went to a reading here in Calgary, and all the writers and other literature-related people were all so kind and talkative. We all don't mind helping each other out and sharing our writing experience with each other. Maybe this is because we aren't a HUGE centre of writing, but this is why I share contests and news. I like that kind of cooperative community.

Dreamstate
I'm done with being an emo face about the contest. I'll try again later this summer and in the fall once I hear about more contests. In the meantime, I'm going to work on my portfolio for Fiction Writing II. I need some new material to present. Yesterday I came up with some WEIRD ideas for stories in class and on the train. I wrote a segment I thought of down and man, even I'm not sure what's going on. I like it though. I tried some new styles, use of tense, breaks and subject matter. I want to try and experiment with as many forms of writing as I can to see what works and doesn't work in various situations. I think what I have works...but I really have no idea. I posted the work on my DeviantArt for some cold, hard criticism. What better place to look for brutality than the internet? So far I've had....TWO VIEWERS! Yeah, I'm not too popular =p
As for WMRR I've put it on hold until I've experimented a bit more. I've figured out a lot of parts that I was confused on or missing, but I realized I need to go back (especially to chapter 3) and add some much needed information. At any rate, here's to moving on.
Dreamstate
Check it out and let me know if it fails as much as I think it does.

And That's It
Guys guys guys, I just entered my first writing contest. I'm totally stoked. The chances of me winning are slim, but going through with it was worth it. Wish me luck!
Started chapter 7 (which I added) and it's going well. I keep trying to cover myself to make sure there's no gaping plot holes or parts that don't make sense. Worst part is that I think of them on the bus or when I'm trying to sleep. If I don't write it down, I forget. ARGH.
Also, I have the flu. I'm going to go pass out now.

Summer Contest
New summer contest I think I'm going to enter one of my short stories into:
http://www.wagsrevue.com/submit.php
First Prize - $1000 and publication
Second Prize - $500
Third Prize - $100
Submission Fee - $20
I could use a bit of money and publication would be fun, so I'm going for it. I encourage others too as well. Wag's Revue is also open to general submissions. Give it a browse, the magazine is online and free!
Writing is coming along slowly, but surely. I need to work out some details as I go...mostly plot holes. I keep defeating myself. I also don't think I'm being descriptive enough about the world I'm creating. I didn't want to emphasize it too much, because it's mostly the internal affairs that count, but the external context is important for understanding as well. I don't know if I'm providing that or not. At any rate, I'm half done chapter 6 and 8. Both will be easy to finish, I just need to DO IT.
I am also doing my videos once again. I have the first Dungeon Keeper Mission posted on my YouTube. Check it out and leave some feedback. You know you want to.
...the bubbles turned to ice in my Coca Cola.

Deadline
For the first time in my life I have set a deadline for my novel. My Fiction Writing prof sent our class an e-mail concerning a "First Book Contest" with the prize of getting published in 2011. I have decided to enter this contest, mostly just to prove to myself that I can finish a project of a much larger scale. The last day to enter is May 31. I'm going to aim for May 10th, so I have a time buffer where I'll be able to mail and make last minute changes. I also need to find someone to be a proof reader for me, though I doubt anyone has the time or ambition to do it. I am probably going to be alone on this, but I have my prof, classmates, family and close friends to turn to. Who knows? Maybe some will take a little interest.
My book will be closet to the limit of 90000 words. I will aim for 75000, which is 150 pages (on Microsoft Word). I'm aiming a bit lower so that I don't overwrite. So far I have 10 pages. I have a lot of questions to ask myself about the plot before I can really get into the story however. My characters are all finished in appearance, names, likes, dislikes, fears, and other traits. Some of their ambitions and motivations need to be figured out, but that relates to plot. A lot of the technical aspects have been worked out as well, though I do need to do more research into modern science and discoveries as well as fighting techniques. Overall I am about 60% finished the story in my mind. In terms of the actual writing I am at the 7% complete mark.
Here is the contest website for any other Canadians interested in publishing a first book. I strongly encourage my fellow Canadians to enter!
