I don’t know why its so damn hard to write some nights. \u00a0Really, its just sitting my butt down in my comfy foof chair, and starting to type. \u00a0That’s not actually hard. \u00a0Its very easy, in fact! \u00a0Plus, I always feel awesome after I’ve done it. \u00a0Any length of time, any word count, doesn’t matter. \u00a0It feels great to make any sort of progress on any of the stories that I’m working on.<\/p>\n
Ugh… So, yeah. \u00a0My word count this month, sucks pretty hard. \u00a0I suppose Phoenix Comicon is partially to blame for taking almost a week away from me. \u00a0I went with high hopes of doing some writing at night, even brought some of the chapters with me that I’m in the process of reworking for the second draft of Impervious. \u00a0That plan DID NOT survive first contact with the enemy, and by enemy I mean Con. \u00a0Writing may feel great, and be easy once I actually start doing it, but, good grief, does working a Con ever take it out of you. \u00a0Anything that wasn’t sitting and moving as little as possible was a Herculean task. \u00a0Any way, I got behind, and so far I’ve stayed behind.<\/p>\n
That ends tonight though. \u00a0I just got done writing over 800 words, which aside from a blog post the other week, is the most I’ve done all month. \u00a0My goal, is to crack 10,000 this month, with most of that being on the second draft of Impervious. \u00a0Actual writing. \u00a0Not outlining, or character description, or plotting but actual new material. \u00a0Really, for as long as I’ve been working on that I’ve gotten not enough done. \u00a0I want the third draft done by the end of the year, which means I’ve really got to get serious. \u00a0If only I had all the bits of WordKeeper working that I wanted working, I’d be able to tell exactly how many words I had to write to get it done on time. \u00a0Ah well, that’s weekend work. \u00a0Writing is for week nights!<\/p>\n
Alright. \u00a0Short post this week, but there it is. \u00a0I’m back writing, and I want 10,000 words of Impervious done by the end of the month. \u00a0Can I do it? \u00a0Stay tuned to find out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
