Mysteriously Missing March - 500 words/editing a day, all genres welcome

I’ve just started writing my first mystery novel, and the 500 word per day challenge is pushing me forward, even if I’m not keeping completely up...

:waves to OSG & Heather:

I've had my surgery and I'm recovering. It's been tough with this non-weight bearing stuff, but I am managing. I've started working a bit. I'm no longer on painkillers as they have done nothing for me, so my mind is clear. Not even thinking about writing right now.

OSG - Thanks. Your flash piece sounds really neat, even if it was a pain.


Got freelance job #2 so I will be working on that.

Hey everyone, how you all doing?

Saoirse - best wishes for a quick recovery.
OSG - I see you're still blazing a path, keep it up.
Heather - Nice to meet you, every word gets you a bit closer to the end, you'll do great.

I'm not sure where February went and I'm less sure how we got halfway through March already. I've added somewhere between 2k and 2.5k words in the last few weeks.

Still alive. Itchy from an allergic reaction to my soft cast (which is now off thank God) and working. No writing yet, but I'm getting the urge again.

You could probably compare my daily word count to rolling hills. Not where I want it to be, but I'm still moving forward so I'll take that as a win.
Hope everyone else is doing well.

Did a quick word tally for the month. So far I'm just over 3k new words which was a pleasant surprise actually.

:cheers all progress:

I'm at the halfway point of my recovery. I want to write, but I've been slammed with work. I will get to it, I swear. :fierce look:

Hoping to join in next month as I'm plotting out my first mystery novel.

Hello all
Crazy month.

Saoirse - Glad to see you're on the path to recovery
OSG - Still unstoppable I see, fantastic.
Marissa - See you next month

Just a few days left, I hope you're all doing well in your projects. I split my time between a couple of projects during this last week, but overall it's been a more successful month passing the 4k new word mark.

I'm happy to see everyone making progress.

I've been doing a lot of thinking about writing and various projects, so that's a start, right?

I've been cleared to start walking again! A little at a time, and range-of-motion exercises. I can't even tell you how happy this makes me.

Every great novel started as an idea!

You got that right, Charles! Welcome to the thread!
