I meant to do this last week, but because of various health issues (both mine and my cats), I ended up pushing it off for a week. So here we go. Write more consistently every day – I am going to aim for 500 words a day with fewer non-writing days. Not even close. According […]

My writing has been somewhat sidetracked for the last month, but this has been a worse week. During the cold itself I wasn’t able to write much. Instead of words, I was creating random keyboard strikes while coughing. One of the stories I’m co-writing I’ve had problems dredging up enthusiasm for. I was banging my head
The answer to the question “What are you writing?” is not that much. Like I said in my last post, I’m catching up on my costume. I’m closer, but I have at least a week’s worth of work to finish, as well as a script and music to take care of. I should be done

So this was supposed to happen last week, but, thanks to a stomach bug, was delayed I hit my revised NaNoWriMo goal of 40,000 words written on Lucy Harker, Vampire Hunter. The story isn’t done, but I’ve had to take a break to do some research and rethink part of the plot. I
This is also known as this is the week where everything sucks. By the last weekend, I had been chipping away at my word deficit consistently. I was back within 500 words of the NaNoWriMo average, and could make it up easily by the end of the week. There was a light at the end
So as you can see, I’m behind target on my word count. I know what went wrong. I had two bad nights. My first bad night night I got 850 words done. I thought I’d be okay because I had a 900 word buffer. I’d build up after that and get another buffer going. Best
