I woke up around 6 — kitty wanted attention. Didn’t actually get up until 7, though. Wrote about 5 pages (handwritten) this morning, and another 7 pages tonight, so about 2000 words, probably, when I type it up. Hopefully I’ll be able to get up early tomorrow and type it up so I can write […]
Which is why I haven’t been writing in the mornings. Monday I turned off my alarm when it went off at 7 AM, then rolled back over. I figured I’d wake up 20 minutes later. Nope. 2+ hours later before I opened my eyes again. This morning a similar thing happened. I assume if I
Wrote out about 10 pages by hand this afternoon. The words came pretty easily. I really like writing by hand. I just find the computer distracting. I used to compose directly on the computer. I also used to write much slower. I can write by hand really quickly. Here is the official count for week

It took me a lot longer to write 2000 words than it should have. In part, it was because I was experimenting with writing directly on the computer, instead of handwriting everything, then typing it up later. I don’t think the words are as good, and the process certainly took forever. But I’m going to

Woke up feeling like crap this morning. No voice. I suspect it’s a sinus infection. I still wrote about 1000 words this morning. Am trying to catch an earlier flight home. Don’t think I’ll manage any more words today. Posted via LjBeetle
Despite my exhaustion yesterday I still wrote a little, as well as this morning. Tonight I typed everything in, finishing chapter 1. I should be writing more tonight, writing the next 1000 words, starting chapter 2. However, I’m so tired I’ve lost my enthusiasm and excitement. I’m taking that as a sign not to push
Wrote ~1200 words this morning. Really wanted to write more but had to go to the day job. Hopefully will do another 800 or so tonight and finish off chapter one. (I’m aiming for 4000 word chapters.) Probably little to no writing tomorrow. My goal is to finish chapters 1&2 by Friday, so I can
So. I’ve signed up for the Clarion West write-a-thon this year. My goal? A short YA novel. 60,000 words in 6 weeks. I’ve been doing some planning and plotting of said novel for the past week. Thought about it a lot tonight. I know what that first scene is. I know what the last scene
I’m hesitant to say that I’m finally well. Basically, every time I think I’m better, something comes out of left field and knocks me to my knees again. Monday, I finally stopped wheezing. I felt as though I could start moving again, start to get back my strength. Got hit Tuesday morning with some kind
