The Life of A Pantser
In The Trenches
Well, okay maybe not so much in the trenches. I got a case of writers block pretty bad and have been editing the same two chapters of Vice and HMLIS for the past few weeks. I need Lile's super powers so I can skip around, but they seem to fail me.However, I figure a good cure for writer's block is to just write something and I've done enough of that lately that I feel like I can go back to posting.
Word Count
In my throws of writer's block I was going to make a post with all my word counts and I found a site that will count the words if I just copy and paste them in, so I don't have to search for Word docs. I started this because I think HMLIS will be short like BH was supposed to be and I wanted to see BH exact length. I will probably do the longer serials later, but for now I did the shorties

Oh, by the by
Nobody get excited, I'm juggling so much stuff right now that I'm already behind on....but I did a re-read of OHG and I kind of had this idea for a UL Thanksgiving story that could also function as a Christmas story, so I MAY do a thing. Maybe. Soon. Soon-ish.
HMLIS
I finally have it all plotted out to a point (life of a pantser) so I'm sure I will put some of it up soon. I just don't know if I should do it before or after Vice. We will see. My characters finally have names, which makes this process A LOT easier.
Vice Chapter 7
So, this chapter is where things REALLY get different. From this point on, it's a fairly new kind of story. Now, Chapter 8 (which will be in the next post) is well over 9,000 words so I'm debating between splitting it up or not right. I'm really not sure how it got that long and there really is no logical split, but I'll see. Also, I'm still messing with the fonts, I didn't realize Ch. 6's was so big. Anyway, let's move on:
They think they have their target, Morrissey, cornered in a hotel room but before Sara can take her hit, he jumps out of the window. On Sara's orders Alan goes to get Mr. Morrissey's car he stole earlier that night to follow him.... (I just realized how thriller-novel that sounded)
