Liz - :pokes with stick:

Zan75 - Nice work!


Still working on the freelance job. I have 93 pages left. It's due on the 21st. Then...writing!

So, is everybody stuck like I am?

I got 1500 words in today, yay! I'm so far behind schedule.

I also got it into my head to do a book of in-universe short stories, which would be a better idea if I had more than one actually drafted. I seem to be able to think about anything but this WIP.

Yeah, I'm stuck too. I keep getting distracted by work stuff (or rather, not-having-a-work stuff).

I should probably try to get some writing done. It might help take my mind off it!

Yep, same issue. I wrote 809 words last night on Oubliette but finishing up the freelance job killed my brain. I have a huge project from one of my hubby's relatives that is so rough...I can only do 4-5 pages at a time (of over 400). It may take awhile. Going to try to write something today before bed.

Well, I closed the internet and put on headphones today. 2305, which beats the hell out of nothing. I may yet finish this thing, and I'm only a month behind!

I am writing in circles. I make progress and then start again. I did create a really cool new detective name Taariq Baz. I am in love with the character. You know that feeling you get when you feel the character coming to life. You understand how they think, what they say, where they hang out. I doesn't happen to me often so even though the rest of the story is spinning Baz keeps me writing. Love him for now but I have to write his death tomorrow. Goodbye Baz.

Well done, everybody!

I've written essentially nothing for the past few days. I know where I'm going, but I can't seem to do it. I feel like I'm trying to grab on to running water, you know? Feel kinda like giving up, sigh.

Liz - Hugs. I've been there before. Maybe you need this break.


I wrote 862 words and broke 60k on Oubliette last night, making my goal for March a few days earlier. :D

Very little writing, but bunches of other stuff accomplished this month, including the dreaded tidying up of my website (it needs refinement, but it's a start) and bunches of other stuff around the July book. There'll be more of that next month; I need to be better and fitting the writing in and around the administrative stuff, but it was nice to go cross stuff off my list on page 1.

Nice job Saoirse :snoopy:

Liz, even if you hate every word, 2K+ is still great. I imagine it will be something you love after the rewrite.

Thanks, everyone. You are all awesome. :e2cheer:

Well, the bit I was totally rewriting has finally met up with the bit I was revising. I'm going to have to do at least one more heavy revision pass on this section (for one thing, I finally figured out how MC should be handling it all), but for now I'll count it a victory.

I guess "Majestic March" is just about over. The days....weeks, and months are just flying by. Hope everyone has had a productive month.
As for me, I'd like to thank you all for giving me some extra motivation this month to keep me typing. Not sure what my word count for the last week has been, but I've written/edited every day and that feels like an accomplishment. Hopefully I'll see you all in "Majestic April" :D

:cheers all progress no matter what:

Thanks, everyone.

So I had a minor procedure done today and I've only had 4 hours sleep. I'm pretty sure I won't be able to cough up some words. Maybe tomorrow.

If I don't make it back here, Happy Easter everyone!
