Weekly Word Counts MMM/TIK: 397 DD: 286 TBS: 0 Total: 683 Editing hours: 0 Yes, I know. I’m going backwards. Not good. It was a busy week, I’ve been dealing with stuff, yadda yadda, but yeah. I need to get back into gear and be more disciplined about my writing. I have some different things […]

Weekly Word Counts MMM: 877 DD: 0 TBS: 0 Total: 877 Editing hours: 0 The Labor Day weekend kind of threw me for a loop, and not only did I not get my writing post up, I didn’t do any writing until Thursday night of this past week. I’m actually happy I got the words […]
Weekly Word Counts MMM: 818 DD: 394 TBS: 268 Total: 1,480 Editing hours: 0 Funny how counts go up and down from week to week, isn’t it? Or maybe just annoying, really. I’d much prefer they just keep going up, but…it’s been a busy and distracting, smoky week. I’ve had low-grade headaches most of the […]
Weekly Word Counts MMM: 673 DD: 701 TBS: 560 Total: 1,934 Editing hours: 0 As you can see, I did not get my editing day this week. Things went kind of haywire Weds night when I grabbed a wasp (literally), and that set a spiral of events into motion that I’d rather just forget about […]
Weekly Word Counts MMM: 743 DD: 336 TBS: 0 Total: 1,079 Editing hours: 1.5 It doesn’t seem like much improvement “on paper”, but it sure felt like a much better writing/editing week. I really buckled down and not only got some editing and new words in, I created mind-maps for each of my WIPs (works […]
Weekly Word Counts MMM: 482 KITD: 0 TBS: 0 Unnamed Flash: 486 Total: 968 Editing hours: 1 Well, that’s progress, at least. One thousand words in a week is pathetic, given what I know I can do, but things happen. Life happens. And instead of putting the writing first and sacrificing what I can when […]
Weekly Word Counts MMM: 0 KITD: 108 TBS: 0 Unnamed Flash: 305 Total: 413 Editing hours: 0 Well, I got some words in this week, which is better than last week. Unfortunately most of them were for an experimental project that has not been going well (the story has, the experiment, not so much). But […]
Weekly Word Counts MMM: 0 KITD: 0 TBS: 0 Total: 0 Editing hours: 0 So. Not a great writing week. Or a writing week at all, really. Believe it or not, at the beginning of the week, I was rarin’ to go. I had goals, ideas, and…let myself get sidetracked and distracted and discouraged. Before […]
Weekly Word Counts MMM: 702 KITD: 409 TBS: 405 Total: 1516 Difference from last week: +569 Editing hours: 0.5 Well, that’s better, at least. Especially considering I only wrote three days this week. I spent too much time thinking though, and not enough time actually writing, clearly. But at least it’s progress. I’m pretty happy […]
Weekly Word Counts MMM: 169 Editing hours: 0 Well then. Clearly I’m headed in exactly the wrong direction, but it’s been a weird week and I lost my focus early on and never got it back, for various reasons. I’m also overthinking the whole craft side of things again, which is causing me to seize […]
