http://ylogs.com Reflexions on writing, books and blogs from an aspiring writer Sun, 18 Nov 2007 09:57:38 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en It occurred to me that this year, I've added a new playlist to this blog to celebrate NaNoWriMo, but have also completely forgotten to actually, uhm, mention it. Considering the fact that I hadn't changed the old playlist in more than one year, I suppose it was high time that ... http://ylogs.com/archives/some-music-to-write-to I doubt that this year, I'll ever write as fast as I did in 2005, but so far, I must admit that things are going quite well. I'm not late on my word count, I even have a 1k-2k words buffer, and I'm happy about my writing: sure, it's not ... http://ylogs.com/archives/nanowrimo-the-first-days If I have to apologize each time I don't write in one of my blogs for three months, this is going to become tiresome, because I don't see things change in the upcoming couple of years. So no apologies. Just know that I always come back to the Y Logs ... http://ylogs.com/archives/i-have-no-title-for-such-a-late-update For some time, I've been wanting to ditch the Joomla! installation on my writing website. The RSS feed wouldn't work, the URL-rewrite mod was a horror, and I don't know if it's me who're lacking in skills, or if it's really the CMS that can be a serious pain at ... http://ylogs.com/archives/writing-site-update I'm getting so great at writing updates after weeks or even months of silence, am I not? Since there is no way I want to give up on this blog, here is one. There are just WAY too many things going on in my life at the moment for me to ... http://ylogs.com/archives/a-summer-update As usual, I don't have too much time to write in here these days, but since I have something nice to share... I got an answer regarding one of the short stories I had submitted a few weeks ago, and it was a positive one, which will be... the first time ... http://ylogs.com/archives/good-news I'm not talking about cats or a piece of news, but about a process initiated some time ago, grown in my little mind by what's left of my brains, fed with the Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack, and finally blossomed in full. This is to say that I separated in ... http://ylogs.com/archives/separating-the-siamese-twins This may seem odd, but in my case, I think I've just crossed a new threshold. This afternoon, after having made sure that no typos nor spelling mistakes remained, I sent Au sein de la nuit and La Dévorante to the 5eme Saison French publishing house for their free theme. And ... http://ylogs.com/archives/a-victory-over-my-fears It is a public fact that sometimes, I am a real millstone. In order to illustrate that rule, I had of course to put stuff online, mention it everywhere, and... totally forget to write about it on my own blog. Ain't I dumb! I'm thus taking a few minutes this morning ... http://ylogs.com/archives/online-novel-at-last Once again, I failed at keeping this blog updated... well, not as much as last year, that is. This time, it was for a good reason if there's any: as you can notice in the sidebar (warning, it's boasting time), I've finished three short stories answering to themes proposed by ... http://ylogs.com/archives/progressing-4-short-stories
