Write on! Plans & Probs with Publication (Book) http://www.Writing.Com/main/books.php/item_id/812129-Write-on-Plans--Probs-with-Publication/month/11-1-2009/printit/1 Saturday's Word Count: 2,895 Total Word Count: 22,878 Well, I failed on Saturday to finish, but it's because, as I stated earlier, I think I'm basically finished with the section. I'll start with the next section today; that should be interesting. I have a few details to work out that will make 4k words during nap time a...[Read Full Post] Mon, 30 Nov 2009 14:50:26 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/678147 Well, I didn't go on to write on Wednesday, and I failed to follow up Thursday. I would like to say that this is because it was Thanksgiving and I was hanging out with my family, but I'm afraid not. No one came up, we didn't go anywhere, it was just Michael & the kids & I. We decided this would be our last Thanksgiving and Christmas together,...[Read Full Post] Fri, 27 Nov 2009 14:11:05 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/677806 Yesterday's Word Count: 3,975 Total Word Count: 19,977 Well, I came in 25 words shy yesterday; I thought about writing a little more but I finished the section and I figured I was okay. But today has been a scheduling nightmare. Usually the kids are down by 1:30 at the latest, and closer to 1, but here it is 2:39 and they are just g...[Read Full Post] Wed, 25 Nov 2009 15:30:27 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/677627 Yesterday's word count: 4,624 Total Word Count: 15,999 I should have written one more word yesterday, LOL. So, I really like using my blog for warmups. I get Cross Country images in my head, of stretching, etc, before going the distance. Yesterday, I was coming up short and, as you'll remember (if you read the entry), was considering leavi...[Read Full Post] Tue, 24 Nov 2009 14:43:26 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/677455 Yesterday's Word Count: 0 Saturday's Word Count: 2,020 Total Word Count: 11,345 Hmm. So yesterday was Sunday, so I didn't write. Between that and Friday, things are looking a little sloppy. Saturday's word count was minimal, but as I think I said in my last post, I got a *lot* of replotting done; I did 1,200 words over i...[Read Full Post] Mon, 23 Nov 2009 19:15:42 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/677334 Yesterday's Word Count: 0 Total Word Count: 9,326 Well, I am just going to add my excuse for yesterday. The short version is that I had a huge personal crisis - ugh, so not gonna be a divorce blog, I know I keep saying that - and basically did nothing. Not just no-writing nothing, but nothing at all. Well, I almost did something; I ...[Read Full Post] Sat, 21 Nov 2009 15:16:09 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/677108 Today's word count: 3,240 Total word count: 9,326 Don't ask me why I'm writing over here. It's strange, because I have everything plotted out but I get to this stopping point and then...I stop. I don't know what it is. So today was productive. Okay, it was only about five pages (3,240 words) productive, BUT: I...[Read Full Post] Thu, 19 Nov 2009 20:10:01 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/676934 Does it count as Day Three, if Day One was only, like, an hour long? Well, whatever. So I finally finished the first section of my novel, the set-up to everything else. Now I have to take a break from writing and really plan out the intricacies of time travel. This book is a headache to plot, much less to write. And I know I'm going to have to go bac...[Read Full Post] Thu, 19 Nov 2009 16:00:18 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/676874 Wow. So last night was painful. Actually, it wasn't. I can't believe how quickly and easily it is coming together. After I wrote two pages last night, I forced myself to put down the laptop and go to bed. I didn't have a chance until about 1:30 or 2 to start writing today, but I'm writing now. I'm on page 7. Okay, so five pages in an ...[Read Full Post] Wed, 18 Nov 2009 15:03:36 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/676729 Well, I have been offline for close to forever. I promise, I sent in the children's book, but I didn't even get a rejection letter...then I got distracted. Life is very chaotic right now, so I don't know why I'm here, except that I have been reinfected with a desire to work on my novel again. I put together several ideas and characters, if you remem...[Read Full Post] Wed, 18 Nov 2009 01:20:51 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/676633
