Writing Diary: Day 26
Few words today. Have to get up early to meet someone for breakfast. At 9am. That's like in the middle of the night when the kids aren't in school, isn't it? 😀 Today’s words: 624 Disclaimer: This quote is completely unedited and might be entirely different in the...
Writing Diary: Day 25
Today was good. Nice and relaxed, and fairly quiet. Even so, I didn't get writing until the evening, but I'm happy with my word count anyway. That's vacation for you. 🙂 The plot thickens and feelings are getting hurt. Oh no! Today’s words: 3474 Disclaimer: This quote...
Writing Diary: Day 24
Well, I'm roughly halfway. Just about 30,000 words now. We'll see where the story ends up in the end, but my goal is around 60,000 words, anyway. 🙂 Today’s words: 1965 Disclaimer: This quote is completely unedited and might be entirely different in the final version!...
Writing Diary: Day 23
Too much time with family today, but we took the kids to some marvelous July 3rd fireworks. Seeing their faces as the fireworks went up was well worth a lower word count today. 🙂 Also... sexy times are underway! 😀 Today’s words: 528 Disclaimer: This quote is...
Writing Diary: Day 22
I skipped a day, because birthday. 😉 Now I'm back and though I didn't produce a ton of words, I've got good ideas of where this is heading, so hopefully there'll be more of them tomorrow. 😀 (Hint: it's heading into sexy times in the office). Today’s words: 1102...
Writing Diary: Day 21
I actually had a good word day today, even for being on vacation. But the story's really coming together in my head. Currently up to around 26,000 words, so I'm closing in on halfway through the draft. Hopefully my sense of direction keeps up. Currently I'm trying to...
Writing Diary: Day 20
Sleep caught up with me today. After a long day with a car trip, visiting relatives and a bunch of other stuff, when I sat down to write, I was exhausted already. I squeezed out some words, but my eyelids have been drooping for the last hour without me getting...
Writing Diary: Day 19
I feel okay about the word count, given that I didn't get started until 10pm. Getting words in while visiting family is tricky, but I do what I can. I really feel that the story is beginning to shape up now, and that's making me excited. Even so, there've been several...
Writing Diary: Day 18
I'm making words again, but my body still thinks it's in a time zone that it's not. That's also why another day got skipped. I cuddled with my boys last night, which is what we usually do at bedtime on Fridays, and they weren't the only ones who fell asleep. By the...
Writing Diary: Day 17
So we're finally at my in-laws' home after all sorts of things going wrong with our flights. The first one was delayed, then I was selected to go through a special customs line, which took a really long time, which meant we missed our connecting flight. At this point...
Writing Diary: A couple of days pause
I haven't forgotten you guys. 🙂 We're gearing up for a long vacation with family, flying out tomorrow, and the preparation has taken away a lot of writing time. So I won't update until the earliest Thursday again, since we'll be worn out and jet lagged. It is...
Writing Diary: Day 16
This post's a little late, since I fell asleep before getting to it. 🙂 Date night was fantastic, though! We're around 22,000 words into the story now, and moving forwards. I keep swinging between thinking this is the worst crap that's ever been put to (digital)...
Writing Diary: Day 15
I'm amazed I got any words at all today. It was the last day of school for my kids, which involved school performances, outing to the bakery, then shopping for birthday gifts for a party one of them was going to, then getting the kid sent off, then setting up a...
Writing Diary: Day 14
Well, today I made some new words! There's a little editing still happening with previously written material, but it's coming together now. Declan and Claire's (did I mention those are their names?) characters are coming together, and there's some story happening....
Writing Diary: Day 13
Today was a decent day. I'm still cleaning up and redirecting existing words, but even so I managed to cram a reasonable number of new words in there. Tomorrow I'm hopefully done with old words completely and only making new ones. At least until edits, or when I...
