Thanks to inspiration that struck on the drive down to the Boyfriend’s, I ended up writing 2,595 words today. According to the Excel spreadsheet I’ve been keeping, that’s almost the most words I’ve written in a single day. (Only one day is higher, with 2702.) Now I’m that much closer Read more…
Getting in the habit of writing is really helping. I got another 1,000 words written today, bringing my total on Meg & Matt’s story to 44,090 — many of them written since Jan. 17. That leaves a minimum of 11,000 words — max 16,000 — to finish this story. It’s Read more…
First off, I want to thank my regular readers. Apparently there are two of you out there. My blog had two hits for each of the last two days, even though I didn’t post a thing. Maybe I’m wrong, but it makes me think there are some people out there who Read more…
Not much new to report here, but I thought I’d give you a quick update on my progress. I wrote 401 words on Meg & Matt’s story today, bringing my total since I started tracking on Jan. 17 to 19,855. That’s nearly 20K — one-fifth of my 100K-word goal. Still Read more…
It’s been a slow couple of days on the writing front. I managed to squeeze out about 200 words Monday and 400 Tuesday. Today would have been better, had I not spent most of the day in my La-Z-Boy with a migraine-like headache. My head hurt so badly that I Read more…
Even though I had to work at the “day job” (which is really an afternoon/evening job), this has been a productive weekend. Today, I wrote more than 2,000 words on Meg and Matt’s story. Yesterday, I went to plot group and had fun chatting about Meg, Matt, Brad, Erin, and Read more…
I was all set to complain about how doing rewrites is much slower work — until I realized I wrote 900+ words today. That’s right. All I had to do was launch into a new sex scene — one of those “more almost-sex, less food” scenes Kelly suggested — and Read more…
This is going to be a quick check-in because I’m still coming down with a cold and feel miserable. I can’t breathe normally and my throat is developing a tickle. I detest being sick! I met Kelly at Barnes & Noble this afternoon to hand off “Blind Date Bride.” While Read more…
Unfortunately, all my time hasn’t been spent making writing my day job. I have, however, managed to get a few things done. On Sunday, I wrote another 1,000+ words on Meg and Matt’s story, bringing my total since Jan. 17 to 7,389. Monday, I spent rereading/editing “Blind Date Bride.” After Read more…
Last Saturday, we had our NARWA meeting and I was inspired to launch “Operation Treat Writing Like a Day Job.” Today I capped off my operation, which admittedly isn’t as amusing as “Operation Snag Mike Brad,” with another good day. I wrote 1,421 words on Meg & Matt’s story (still Read more…
