A Lot of Work
If I had realized how much work it was going to be to write this book, I am not sure if I would have had the courage to start it. Even now, more than 76,000 words into it, I am not sure I have what it takes to finish it….
2,700 Words
2,700 Words… that’s how many I need to write every day between now and the end of the month to make my goal of 50,000 in February. I was sick most of this last week and so I did no writing. Yesterday my computer broke down and I spent 12…
Another Day Off
I did not call in yesterday to make sure our office was closed when every other business, government office and school in the state was shut down from the snow and ice. I would have, but I was sick and fell asleep and I didn’t wake up until noon. Today,…
Bad Day
I got my day off. The ice storm shut everything down and I stayed home from work. I should have gone in. Stupid drama, I hate it. On another note, I don’t think I can write this book. I have been fooling myself. There are people who follow through and…
Bummed
I really wanted a lot of snow, but we haven’t gotten it. The big bosses told us we could go home at 2:00, but I was the only one in my department who had left by the time I got out of there at 2:30. The drive home was uneventful,…
Let it Snow
They are predicting snow and ice over the next 24-48 hours. I am hoping for enough of it that I can stay home and sled with Harley. I don’t think it will happen though. Can you imagine being one of those people stuck in 11 feet of snow right now??…
Weekend Over – Still Behind
I can’t believe the weekend is over already. I got about 3,500 words done today so I’m still over two days behind. I just couldn’t write anymore. I’m not sure of the exact number because I spent a lot of time rewriting some of it so that it would fit…
More Plotting More Writing
I thought last Saturday that I had worked out all of the plotting I would need to finish the book. But in the last couple of days I realized that my pacing was off. When I finished last night’s section with them stopping to take a nap only a sections…
Friday!
Last night’s blog didn’t make much sense, and I should change it, but I’m just as tired tonight so I’m going to leave it alone. I managed to write 1,821 words tonight. I quit in the middle of a scene because I am just too tired to care. I am…
Week Two
I have been blogging for just over a week so far and, not so coincidentally, today is the first day of the second week of my second “Write a Novel in a Month” month. To write 50,000 words in February requires an average of 1,786 words a day. That means…
