Late checking in, as usual, and no new words since Wednesday. I’ve done a little research for a new story.

Rounding home with 58k and change…. Will probably hit 60k today.

Aside from the fact that I forgot to check in…

I’ve gotten a lot of minor tinkering done this week, but I’ve still managed to get some written longhand on another story. I’m still completely excited about this new story and love it.

Yikes! late checking in.

Last week was productive, just not for writing. Finished revisions and copyedits for a book, then made pdf ARCs for two books. So two projects out of the way that were absolutely necessary. Now I can get back to writing. Oh, and stomach bug over the weekend. So not productive for writing. But I managed to eek out a bit on the word count anyway. I’m really looking forward to digging into a book and writing again!

I have no excuses. I’ve just plain done nothing. Well, family events might be an excuse. Anyhow, I’m hoping the April exercise over on the books and writers forum will galvanize me back into action…

I’m a little behind on my overall goal for the sweat, but this week I did add 8k. I’m happy with that and am looking forward to next week.

I managed to take two long chapters and turn them into three shorter chapters of mostly new material. I’m enjoying what I’m writing, but I’m still not where I hoped I’d be at this point. I expected to be half-way through and I’m more like a third. Still, I’m writing almost everyday and that’s what it’s all about.

Um…yeah kicking my ass. 4420/7000 this week. Lost all of Friday and Saturday to work and travel. And did a full read through over the last two days to get my head back in the story. I think I’m mostly finally there, so hopefully I’ll be able to do better this week while I’m on vacation between hanging out with hubby.

Not so good this week. Only 2224 words. Not even my average of 500 a day. Had sick kids, no sleep nights, and lots of kid activities to take care of - props to make for play, help practice for wrestling meet, etc.

Don’t think I’ll be getting much done on WIPs the next couple days. I’ve edited the first couple chapters down to 20 pages for a contest and I need to write the synpsis for it. Guess I can count the synopsis as word count, so maybe I’ll do better this week.

Burnt out, not on writing, but other things, which doesn’t help me have the energy to write.

I have some great ideas I need to get down, but no energy to sit and type. I will press on. Synopsis first.

Wow, nearly forgot to check in. I’m at twenty-three pages in a new story since I had to shelve the other projects. This is a young adult thing featuring a pair of rapscallion fraternal twins. The actual word count is at 14k but having started it about two weeks ago, I think I’m doing good.

Writer’s block is a nasty thing. On the bright side, I am finally temporarily employed. Yay! I start Tuesday.
