Posts about writing. Writing is my work but since I work better when I pretend work isn’t work, I mostly call it fun—even when it isn’t. ;)
Not only did I not have time to write until nearly 4 pm, after that I was sick. Well, I was sick before that, too, but I was also not here and had no opportunity to write before then. The vertigo returned, probably because of continued sinus and ear problems. All I’m going to say … Continue reading Day 17 of NANO 2018
I woke up this morning with a big chunk of backstory for the nano book in my head. I also had some bits of scenes that I might want to use for the current part of the story, but we’ll see. As for now, I’m going to spend the afternoon sitting in front of my … Continue reading Day 16 of NANO 2018
Day 15: I wrote 496 words for the NANO book (1,569 words total for all my fiction). I really did plan to write more for the NANO book today after I finished my other book (which I did, so YAY!), but in the end I think I was just too tired after all the writing … Continue reading Day 15 of NANO 2018
Day 14: I wrote 0 words for the NANO book (6,241 words total for all my fiction). YES! You got that right. I finally broke through that 6,000 words barrier today. For the first time since I started tracking my daily word counts, I have written more than 6,000 words in a day. :-) But … Continue reading Day 14 of NANO 2018
Day 13: I wrote 123 words for the NANO book (623 words total for all my fiction). I revisited the ending of the one book I’m trying to finish, and I revisited the book I’m working on in a series that I want to write, but that in all honesty, I have no need to … Continue reading Day 13 of NANO 2018
Well, it’s official. I’m behind. Today is rainy and cold and I’m dressed warmly and it feels like a good day to catch up so that’s what I’m going to try to do. Day 12: I wrote 0 words for the NANO book (1,353 words total for all my fiction). I went back to the … Continue reading Day 12 of NANO 2018
Day 11: I wrote 750 words on the NANO book (but 724 words for all my fiction). Yes, I had a negative word count for the book I’m trying to finish and that brought down my total word count for the day. And I’m behind on NANO pretty significantly now.
Here’s the thing. When I set out to make writing my source of income, I knew what I was getting into. I’d been married to someone who did contract work for a while cutting lumber and I have a dad who did that for a while, too, and who worked as a mason for some-odd … Continue reading Look, unrealistic expectations will kill your dreams
Very slow start today. I’m actually sitting here at 6:52 pm knowing that I haven’t started yet and that I need to write the full daily goal of 1,667 words just to stay caught up. I can do it, but I’m going to have to get in a hurry. I have a few things to … Continue reading Day 10 of NANO 2018
Slow start today, but a short nap turned things around. Naps are almost like little miracle cures. Day 9: I wrote 1,521 words for the NANO book. That means I am just where I need to be at 15,159 words total for the NANO book. That also means I need to try to get ahead … Continue reading Day 9 of NANO 2018
