I increased my word count from 37.5k to 38.2k between the 14th and today (though I'll be working on it again in a little bit and it might increase slightly above that).

So, from 36.8k to 38.2k since last week works out to about 1400 words which is about 100 words short of my goal for this week. I'll get that in this afternoon easily so I claim "goal met" and set a goal of 2k words for this coming week for my FOTS WIP plus a blog entry and an entry in the Bare Bones thread.
Good job Greg. Keep it rolling! As a reward I found yet another muse for you.

My cousin Cindy is bringing a couple friends over to your place...they are good at hugs and encouragement. Most of their tools and instruments aren't rusty...I promise.

I think I got away with it. I don't think she's going to eat me.

Until the puppy opened his mouth, the tiger did not know tha he had failed her. but he spoke up and that was all she wrote...



SSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Um, I mean "Sh." :)



Wise girl that Effie. I was going to cut you a break...but instead i find myself at a fork in the road...so to speak. After borrowing lily's recipe book I decided what I should cook um do.

Yay, Greg!

My goals were to continue cutting 9K-10K from the book.

My output (appropriate because I'm taking stuff out, LOL) is: I made a complete first pass, added 2 short scenes, and deleted (I think) 5K-6K. I edit on hard copy, so I don't have a firm number.

Goal this week: continue 2nd editing pass to get the total cut number to 9K-10K.

And to drink much coffee.

I found a source for you coffee....

No work on my WIP last few days. Working 12hr shifts puts a damper on the creative muse and time. I did manage to bang out 1,500k last week.

I did work on some plot outlines, if that counts.:)

Tin Man,

Good luck on your hours! Well keep trying. Life has away of getting in the way. I found a muse for you as well.

Well, I met my goal from last week. Revised first 1/4 of the MS.

And I outlined my Jan. prompt story. Though I don't think I'll get to posting in Jan. And, to be honest, it morphed into something less to do with a fuzzy animal and more to do with plants. :Shrug:

Goal this week: At least another 1/4, to put me at the 1/2 way mark. :)

Hiya Soap,

Great job meeting your goals!

I found you a furry playmate to inspire you...he's cute, cuddly and armed.

:Wha:

You, too, with the BPs there Haggis?

... granted, it was a good use of them. :ROFL:


I'm not even going back and looking at the goals because I know I fell short on them all. I had something come across my desk that demanded my attention, and everything else got shoved to the back burner until it got finished. Which took a lot longer than I had expected/hoped it would.

This week, and for the next four weeks, I am teaching again so the goals need to scale back some.

I figure at least 3500 new words on one of the WIPs by this time next week, in part prompted from an idea I had on the way home from the airport about what to do with one of my MC's in a WIP I've been toying with off and on. (Two words: "It's alive!")

I shall also take the advice of a nun for the first time in my life and finish revamping (pun intended) my query and then get the new version up into Query Hell this week.

Also have a couple of poems rattling around still, and the blog lay fallow last week so I need to get back on that as well.

And also, this:



Because I know I can hit that one easily.

:Coffee:

Good luck Boston in query hell!

Btw do you know where they stick the cord?

Uh, my goal was to write something and I wrote nothing. I started blogging again and set up a Facebook fan page of myself which is something.

Yes it is... meet Boston's cousin Homer...he is your new muse.

Good job Effie,

I am glad to see you exceed your goal. Good luck on your next word count.
