How’s It Going:
Trying to catch up. Not doing too bad, I don’t think. Been dealing with a lot in the real world lately, so I feel like only being down less than a day’s worth of words isn’t terrible. There’s no sense in beating myself up about it anyway.
All I can do is keep moving forward.
How’s It Going:
So my coworker was out on vacation this past week. Normally, that would mean nothing to me, but apparently, none of the other locations in town wanted to help us out, so I ended up working open to close (7:30am to 6pm) all week.
For the math challenged, yes I worked almost 50 hours last week. Great for the paycheck. Not so good for anything else.
Needless to say, I had no time for anything, including writing and schoolwork. And once I had time yesterday, I was scrambling to try to get my schoolwork done before it was due, which is today.
Where does this leave me? Well, I’m still on track, amazingly, to finish by the end of June. But my buffer is almost completely gone now. And I still have another 6 weeks of school left. School is definitely more important, so any snafus with time from here on out will cut into my writing before anything else, unfortunately. That’s just the way it’s gotta be. And if I end up with a full-time job, that’s probably gonna cut into my writing too.
At this point, all I can do is roll with it and keep trying, writing whenever I can.
How’s It Going:
Still haven’t quite caught up, but I’m close. The brilliant idea I had last week sprouted another idea, and there’s gonna be some… well, I hesitate to say torture, but ah. Madison’s getting hurt.
I’d say I like torturing my characters too much, but what kind of author would I be if I didn’t?
And uh. Pretty sure I’m already on the road to Hell, so. Here we are.
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.
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.
