Geek Confessional: My High School Manuscripts

John W. Otte November 10, 2016 January 14, 2017Geek Confessional, John's Books Geek Confessional, writing 0

So lately, I’ve been focusing on the various writing projects that I worked on when I was younger. I kind of like this trend, so I’m going to keep on going and talk about the stories that I wrote when I was in high school. In middle school, I had…

Wordcount Wednesday

John W. Otte November 9, 2016 November 9, 2016Wordcount Wednesday, Writing Unmasked, wordcount, writing 0

I had such high hopes and really, I’m not off by much. See, here’s the thing. My current writing project can be divided up into five parts (I’m actually calling them “acts” in the book itself). For some reason, Acts 2 and 3 took a really long time, but Act…

Wordcount Wednesday

John W. Otte November 2, 2016 November 2, 2016Wordcount Wednesday, Writing Unmasked, wordcount, writing 0

Well, what a week! I’m starting to feel the momentum build. I don’t know why it took me so long to get to my story’s “halfway point,” but it felt like I would never get there. But now that I’ve reached it, it feels like the story is just pouring…

Wordcount Wednesday

John W. Otte October 26, 2016 October 26, 2016Wordcount Wednesday, Writing Unmasked, wordcount, writing 0

Well, I kind of suspected this week wasn’t going to be all that great. Last Wednesday, I hit a milestone in my work-in-progress. I hit the “halfway point” in the story (well, that’s what I consider it. Upon further reflection, it may be more of a 60% point or so;…

Wordcount Wednesday

John W. Otte October 19, 2016 October 19, 2016Wordcount Wednesday, Writing Unmasked, wordcount, writing 0

BOOM! That’s what I’m talking about. via GIPHY This week has been crazy. I tried to really hunker down and focus, especially since I knew that I was within spitting distance of the midpoint, the halfway point in my current work-in-progress’s story. It was so close I could practically smell…

Wordcount Wednesday

John W. Otte October 12, 2016 October 12, 2016Fantasy, Wordcount Wednesday, Writing Unmasked, wordcount, writing 0

Okay, okay, okay. I could make the usual excuses, the same ones that I’ve been making for the past several weeks. I wound up taking four days off this week. Or maybe just three days. Life, work, family obligations, yadda yadda yadda. Second verse, same as the first. I won’t…

Wordcount Wednesday

John W. Otte September 28, 2016 September 28, 2016Wordcount Wednesday, Writing Unmasked, wordcount, writing 2

Ugh. It would appear that I done lost my mojo. Remember how, two weeks ago, I reported that I had lost my momentum? Yeah…it kind of never came back. I’m not entirely sure why that is. For some reason, the schedule I had worked out to let me rack up…

Geek Confessional: I tried writing for dinner theatre

John W. Otte September 22, 2016 January 14, 2017Geek Confessional, Writing Geek Confessional, theatre, writing 1

I spent some time in the confessional, talking about how, for a while there, I tried my hand at writing screenplays. This resulted in three very lousy scripts, most of which are lost to the ages. But those screenplays weren’t the extent of my literary experimentation. When I was in…

Wordcount Wednesday

John W. Otte August 24, 2016 August 24, 2016Wordcount Wednesday, Writing Unmasked, wordcount, writing 1

Well, I’ve been kind of off in reporting my wordcount, haven’t I? Life has thrown a lot at us here in Missouri, what with kids going back to school (actually, my wife went back to school, but as a teacher, not a student). And with all the changes to life…

Geek Confessional: My Third (and final) Screenplay

John W. Otte July 14, 2016 January 14, 2017Geek Confessional, Movies, Writing Geek Confessional, movie, script, writing 0

The last two times I’ve been in the Confessional, I’ve talked about my short-lived career as a screenplay writer. The first was a cult thriller about clones. My second was a sci-fi/romance mash-up. So what did I do for my third (and most likely final) screenplay? Straight romantic comedy. Entitled…
