Book Blog

Hey, thanks for checking to see if I have written any blog posts about my steampunk-related creative projects. In fact, I have a whole blog devoted to that very topic! It's not here, but, rather, on my website at noelbawell.com/aetherworks (Ætherworks is the working title of my novel).

Successful Writing, Whether For Steampunk Or Otherwise

Successful Writing, Whether For Steampunk Or Otherwise

Editors, Publishers, And The Fine Art Of Compromise

Long time...

I have written anything here for a good while. Sorry about that. Life and all that getting in the way a bit. That and the dreaded WIP. Three years I've been working on it. And I now have 23K words and a plan. Not much to show for three years, you cry. Well, maybe not. But behind those 23K of good words (not my appraisal btw.) lies a trail of I would guess 300K plus of dodgy ones written in about 40+ drafts of the first half of the WIP.

"It varies, and has the full range of Steampunk music in it, from Cabaret to metal.Just FYI, the format is the first two hours is talk with music breaks, and the third hour is music with chat breaks."

The Jekyll and Hyde of Writing

                Writing and rewriting are two sides of the same coin but each takes a different kind of mindset to accomplish. Most folks think of writing when they imagine what writers do; scribbling creative characters, scenes; oozing creativity onto the page into the wee hours of the night.
