I knew that the only way I’d get in my writing today was to write both at noon, then after work. So I did 500 words at noon, about 1000 later, before going out to eat dinner with a friend.
I haven’t typed up everything I’ve written — I have at least another 500+ words, probably more. I’m concerned that I have so much waiting for the weekend.
Here’s the official word count:
I’m still using my old process, of writing everything out by hand, then typing it up. So yes, it’s taking a lot of time. Can I write 2000 words a day for the next four days? Absolutely. I don’t have many social obligations this weekend. In an ideal world, I’ll get ahead, write more this weekend than I absolutely need to, because next weekend is Comic-con, and I just won’t have the time to write, I think. (Though who knows, I may write a lot while standing in line.)
I’m a little over halfway through this process. I’ve decided writing 10,000 words a week is hard for me. I keep thinking that 7000 words a week is more manageable, what with the day job and all. I’m still going to keep at it, at least for the duration of this project. Then I get a break. (^_^) But at some point, I think I’ll try the 7000 words a week, just 1000 words a day, which actually means 500 words/day during the week, and making up the rest on the weekend, as I’m doing now.
