You know what they say about good intentions…

And uh. Pretty sure I’m already on the road to Hell, so. Here we are.

Goal 1) TAP 2

  • My Goal: 500 WPD, 2000 WPW
  • Where I planned to be: 20,000 words
  • Where I am: 19,279 words
  • On Target or Behind: Behind

How’s It Going:
Had a wrench thrown in my plans for this week, more than one really, and I feel a little dumb for not figuring out how to write around my new work schedule. But I think if I start doing Sunday, Monday, Thursday, and Saturday as my writing mornings (mornings, he says, on the weekend, ha!), I can still fit in my four days a week without having to fight to carve out the time.

A lot of my wordcount for this week happened today, but I’m too tired to push for my goal. I hopefully made up enough that I can slowly chip away at the excess over the next week or so. On the plus side, I spent a lot of today doing some more brainstorming and planning, and realized another idea I could follow through with to get me to the midpoint.

Progress.

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?

Goal 1) TAP 2

  • My Goal: 500 WPD, 2000 WPW
  • Where I planned to be: 18,000 words
  • Where I am: 17,382 words
  • On Target or Behind: Behind

How’s It Going:
Things have not gone well this week, and not just with my writing. Also my work schedule just changed, which has kinda thrown me off. I need to reevaluate when I can make time to write.

Gotta get my shit together. Gonna go hard this next week.

You know what they say about Hell freezing over…

Goal 1) TAP 2

  • My Goal: 500 WPD, 2000 WPW
  • Where I planned to be: 18,000 words
  • Where I am: 16,112 words
  • On Target or Behind: Behind

How’s It Going:
So for anyone who either doesn’t live in Texas or hasn’t heard, this past week Hell froze over and our state was not equipped to deal with it. No, I didn’t write a damn word. Not because it was cold, but because our power was out for most of the week, we almost lost our water, we ran out of firewood on day 2 and had to scramble to find some, and I was more focused on keeping myself, my dad, and my cats from turning into the most horrific kind of popsicles while sitting inside our own home.

That being said, we’re fine now; everything’s back on and the snow/ice is slowly melting away. I even went to work Friday. And my goal is safe too because I purposely built in a buffer. (Hey, someone around here’s gotta think ahead and prepare for the worst. :/) So next week I’ll shoot for my 18k mark, then go from there.

Winter has come, and this time it’s personal

Still chugging along. Nothing interesting to report.

It’s fucking cold. You bet your ass I’m using this weather in my novel. Conflict! *jazz hands*
