About 1100 words yesterday. Yippee.

And 1200 so far today. Double Yippee!

Let’s see yours.

I listen to Grammar Girl, Mr. Manners, Money Girl, Get-it-done-Guy, The Savvy Organizer.  I’m looking for good podcasts to add to my collection. Which ones do you listen to?

Writing wise anyway… Been writing little bits and pieces… lots in my head.  But, sigh, i just let the holidays take right over.  Mostly b/c I’m the only one in the house to worry about such things.  It’s not as if the cats are going to figure out what to get everyone for Christmas.  Or what to fix for that dinner party.

We’ve been talking about Writers’ Block on CataNetwork Writers….. they say it’s a crisis of confidence… yeah, that sounds about right.

Today I printed out the first 28 pages of the book, turned off the computer and edited for pace and flow.  Added about 500 words I’d guess and while I’m feeling a little better, I’m still not happy quite yet.  The characters are having a slightly apathetic moment, as if they don’t know if they’re about to start a fight or making out. *g*  They’re not allowed to make out yet, poor them.

All in all, I’m definitely sweating…. not in a good, happy to be glistening way, either.  Hope everything is going well for everyone else.

I took the 30 minute challenge yesterday before dh and I went out biking. I didn’t get in a solid 30 minutes, more like 20, but I did get almost 400 words written.  I’ll definitely have to go back and edit it later, but at least they’re there.

Feel free to share

It’s been a rough couple of weeks writing wise… trying to find my confidence and motivation.  I keep chanting this to myself:

Be confident in yourself.  Write. And do it now.

It’s helping.  Today I’m back in the saddle.  I’m grabbing my goal with both hands.  1250 words, here I come!

I’ve been hopping between two stories this afternoon. So far 250 words on one and 300 on the other.  And the day isn’t over. Not much progress I know. But at least it’s something!

Wrote 1500 words on Halloween.  Probably about 250 yesterday. Hopefully more today.  Alas, it’s time to upgrade wordpress… again.

I took last week off to prepare for Halloween parties and inlaws coming into town.  Had a wonderful weekend and now I’m ready to start writing again.

How’s everyone else doing?
