Writing Stats for the week of July 10-17

Hello everyone! Here is my writing progress for the week. Remember, I am only working on the one project, which I am currently calling "Project Reboot".

Monday July 11: +188 words

Tuesday July 12: No Writing

Wednesday July 13: +256 words

Thursday July 14: No Writing

Friday July 15: +309 words

Saturday July 16: +84 words

Sunday July 17: +239 words

Weekly Words Written: 1076

Total Words to date: 1439

Current Status: About halfway through Chapter 1.

Camp NaNoWriMo Update: Remember, my goal this month was to write 5000 words, and camp nanowrimo says that "at this rate I'll reach 5000 words on September 2nd." omg. No. Hafta step up my game!!

Some Goals:

1. I want to be writing AT LEAST 6 days a week. I'm giving myself 1 day off because my Tuesdays are crazy. But ultimately, until my schedule calms down and I can write 7 days a week, I want to write 6.

2. I want to write at least 100 words during the days that I write. I'm all about "just getting words on a page" but if I go by JUST that philosophy, I'll write 10 words and call it good. I want to not only FINISH this project, but I want to push myself as a writer as well.

I have no idea if I'll make my camp nanowrimo goal (considering I didn't actually start writing until the 10th of the month), but I'm gonna push towards my goals and see what happens.

Coffee Shop Chat!

What I Did This Week... This week has been super busy! Sunday: Had a meeting at Job #2 suuuuper early in the morning (I am NOT a morning person), and then it was off to church for the Palm Sunday service, which was awesome. The church was freshly decorated for the season, and the children had a Palm Parade, where they walked around the block, waving their new palms around. Super cute. Then, I went to the coffee shop to TRY to get some writing in (that didn't go too well, but I had a delicious pot of green tea). And then I came home and worked on school work (I get my Masters in 2 months!). Workout and Meditation. Monday: Worked at Job #1 (the library), ran errands, workout and meditation. Tuesday: Worked at Job #2 (corporate job, ew). Had a TERRIBLE day, but that was made better by these beautiful flowers from my SO: Wednesday: Worked on my Grad Portfolio ALL DAY (Did I mention I get my Masters in TWO MONTHS??) Thursday: Got to spend the who

Real Talk: Writers Resistance

So you'll notice in Monday's stats blog that I won't have a lot to write about. I haven't made a lot of progress. I've hit resistance. I won't call it writers block for a lot of reasons, but mostly because I HAVE ideas. I have good ideas. But I've hit this type of resistance before. You see, I've been trying to write a novel forever. I remember starting to try to write novels in high school, and then for various reasons, I kinda gave up writing all together for a few years, and then fell back in love with it when I transferred to Southern Oregon University. But, I gave up novel writing. I wrote (and still write) short stories. I've published short stories, I make money (sometimes...very much sometimes) writing short stories. I'm good at it, and for a long time I gave up again on the idea of writing a novel Until I went to library school. I guess being around all of those novels, and talking about novels, and helping people find n
