Phew! What a long and crazy month. Seriously, it felt like at least two months. I honestly kept thinking that I had forgotten to pay my rent because I was so sure that it was April. It was a pretty busy month, too. This month I ran my half marathon, took a few days to visit my boyfriend (♥), took… Read more »
February is over already? Yikes! But although the month was a bit of a crazy one for me, I managed to make it a pretty good writing one as well. My goal was both a word count (5900) and a number of non-writing days (not more than 14). I met both of those goals!! Okay, so maybe I didn’t have an… Read more »
Not a bad start to the year. I ended up at 7128, or 109.0% of my goal, which makes me pretty happy. I had 21 days of no writing, which makes me less happy, but taking into account my vacation at the beginning of the month, it’s not bad. My goal for February, short month that it is, is a… Read more »
I’m a little late on this, but I have a good reason! My boyfriend was in town last weekend, and it was the first time I’d seen him in almost four months! Needless to say, I had much better—much!—things to do than write a blog post. Alas, my boyfriend is gone again (22 days until we meet again, boo!), and… Read more »
I haven’t done a monthly wrap-up in ages. I’ve had a very good reason–I haven’t had enough progress to be wrapped up in anything other than a very depressing package. But I think I have finally gained some traction on a new project, Novel #6. Of course it will be only my fourth completed novel but there is hope, someday,… Read more »
Okay, another month is come and gone. This one is a little shorter than most (although longer than usual!), so less time for getting all the things done that I want! But while I won’t expose myself by admitting my small numbers for the month, I will go ahead and say that I feel good about getting the wheels rolling… Read more »
I don’t even know if it is worth it to post a monthly recap. It can be summed up in this: nothing. I would post something optimistic about June, but my heart wouldn’t be in it. At this point, I just hope I can get any words. Words written: 988. Yup. Less than 1k words in an entire month during… Read more »
Well, April didn’t turn out quite like I was expecting. I had oodles of freetime, there were times when I literally spent an hour lying in bed staring at the ceiling. And yet still–no words. No nothing. Guess going through a separation (and soon divorce) doesn’t encourage those creative juices! So my total was dismal. I think that Novel 4… Read more »
About the only good thing that can be said for March was that it was better than February. Words written: 4,765. Then again, I knew this month would be rough with moving and everything. April, on the other hand, should be a treasure trove! Of course, I’m sitting at zero right now–but that is about to change as soon as… Read more »
I know, I know, I’m way overdue! In my defense, I started deployment a week before the end of February, and although I’m back now (yay for PCS orders), it threw a major wrench in my schedule. Also I went through a huge debacle in my marriage–which, thankfully, seems to be back on track. So maybe now I can get… Read more »
