And what did you write today?

I wrote all day yesterday. I took today off.

Wrote a few ideas for an article/(book?), wrote a 'to do' list, grocery list, Christmas letter, emails, and posted a few posts.

(I'm on vacation.)

Aside from AW, I wrote two articles for pay (silly, commercial me) and just over 600 words on my WIP. I think I wrote something else, but I'm too tired to remember. Oh, well.

I've been absolutely useless today. I managed 750 words on my WIP, which is nowhere near good enough (the word count, I mean -- the WIP is fine ).

Wrote about 37 posts on AW.

Suspect I'm suffering from Temporally Erratic Attention Deficit Disorder. Which means, some days I just can't foucs.

I wrote an 1100 word paper on "Integrating Technology Into Your Classroom Curriculum." Oh joy... You know? These kinds of papers would be a lot more fun if I could spice them up a little. You know, give the tech an antagonist that has a haunted past or something...

So far today, several posts on AW.

Yesterday I wrote a vignette on some of my religious beliefs, and I trunked a novel. I'm feeling okay, although having put away what could have easily turned out to be a 90,000 word work, is a little bothersome to me.

But I have what I believe to be good reason for having trunked it.

I finally got an idea for a story line yay!

Dear Sir,

You are hereby notified as follows:


(I'll do better tomorrow, I promise)

I had high hopes today. Instead, I outlined two episodes for my upcoming serial project, this summer. I realized that writing a serial, which used to be fun and breezy work, is now Lots Of Hard Work. Part of it is getting older, part of it is my writerly brain works a lot different now than it used to. It's slipping me up.

I sent out a query to an agent. It's been, like, two hours and she hasn't written me back. She must personally hate personally me. That's the only logical conclusion.

Also, I realized via James Ritchie that I really need to write a short story and sell it to someone, because it's been too long since I've done that. So I'm writing a short story happily in my spare moments, tonight.

I haven't written anything yet. I'm too tired (early to work). But I am reading Anthony Wilding by Rafael Sabatini.
And I'll write something this evening... I promise!

2 queries...does that count?

About 2000 words on my WIP.

I've written over two thousand words of a short story that was meant to be a flash and has instead got very convoluted and long but at least an ending has jumped up but I'm afraid to leave it and go to bed in case the original energy disappears and turns into something else so it looks like I'm up all night. (yeak, I know, no commas, but I get them later, promise)

Oh and apparently the short story as a paying art form is dead so I sure better be doing it for love.

I am

It's very liberating.

Back to it.

I went shopping...and spent too much money...

Budget spreadsheets and backup documentation for a grant proposal.
Revised and submitted 1500 word article.
No work, none, zip, nada on my book in weeks. Why won't people leave me alone and let me write?

I finished a chapter. Okay, the first draft of a chapter. But I'd been stuck on it for weeks. It was a progressive relaxation method used in hypnosis. Those things write themselves, but this one refused.
I also posted to my blog, prepped a post for tomorrow, left my tracks on three blogs, and organized the chapters in my WIP.

I didn't do any writing but I held the warrier pose in yoga for at least five minutes.

I finished a segment in my WIP - about 13,000 words - I have yet to proof it and revise, but I managed to get through a particularly tough/disturbing part of the story and glad I stuck with it.

I spend way too much time on AW - LOL!

transitions to fit a pre-existing scene into the new structure of the WIP, which turned into expanding/rewriting part of it. Still more to be done on the same scene tomorrow.

Today I wrote 1300 good words, and that's all right.

I wrote about 8500 words in my WIP. Im three chapters away from being done with the first draft!

that will be a first for me, not counting shorts.

Today, nothing as of yet...

I've written a 23 inch story about a woman who is going to be on Wheel of Fortune tomorrow night. I've written a cutline about a toy drive for Christmas. I'm now writing another story about a girl who is going for training at the Federal Aviation Administration. Then, I'm going to be writing a story about Christmas services in the area. But, no fiction until later tonight.

Yesterday I wrote about 3,000 words for my weekly D&D game. Well, about 400 words of that is copy-paste rules text for easy reference during play.
