Ok, no new word count progress on current book (until I finish here then I WILL WRITE!) but I've done 2 (or 3) blog posts and a TON of research.
Ok, off I go. Please refrain from sending flaming cats and dogs in my direction while I'm writing

I just want to remind everyone you can include the word count for blog posts in your total. Blog posts are writing too.

This week was a slog. Here's hoping my efforts are less painful next week.
Words: 5441 blog posts: 5 Poems written 6 - I know it's silly to mention poems written. But I'm doing a challenge to write a poem every day for 2013, and it is a word exercise, so it does feel like it's something that is furthering my writing, so I will go ahead and mention it.

Call me the 'Sweetie of Deletie'.
I need a new name for the first book of what used to be 'Source's Code', so maybe I'll call it 'Once Upon a Time in the Mustard Jar' until something else pops into my mind. I wrote 640 words in this new thing that Brian inspired. I don't know if it will turn out to be a novel or just nothing. The biggest thing is that it is fiction but not a press release. Oh...and the new lappie is all high tech with Windows 8 and it is really better for surfing than writing and accounting so I'm going to learn to love the desktop, and Brian is going to learn Photoshop. |

Between an article for our historian's quarterly Historical Wyoming and a blog post 3,110 words
I came in third place in the AW Poetry Resurrection Contest for my poem Plum Rum (poems & winners here password citrus) plus got the special mention for originality and application of form. Downloaded Sigil & Calibre and learned how to convert files to kindle etc including pictures (which I needed but was worried about coming out right.) Now I can do the mobi dance! Nannerize me! It's Friday already.
