The Ready Writer

This week was another good week! Here are the stats: Monday: +104 words (started Chapter 3) Tuesday: +138 words Wednesday: +171 words Thursday: No Writing Friday: +125 words Saturday: +131 words Sunday: +317 words Total Words Written This Week: 986 words Total Project Wordcount: 6070 This was a good week!  I got through chapter 2 which is kind of sluggish, which is something that future Brystan has to worry about. I started Chapter 3, which is gonna be a good one, but one that will push my writing skills.  I am NOT a speech writer, however, one of my characters has to give a very powerful speech.  I wrote the speech, but looking back, it is pretty sparse.  It's just the skeleton of what I want it to be.  But, once Act I is done (which according to my outline is the first 8 chapters) then I start edits, so I am looking forward to fleshing that out and adding the meat to the bones. Anyway.  New goals for this coming week. Write 6 days. 100 words each sessi

Sorry for the late stats post this week.  I'm battling a cold and we had a big remodel in our apartment on Monday.  But here it is! Monday: +135 words Tuesday: +137 words Wednesday: +138 words Thursday: No Writing Friday: +128 words Saturday: +121 words Sunday: +222 words AND I finished Chapter 2! Total Words Written This Week: 881 Total Project Word Count: 5,084 Yay! Hit 5k! Also I accomplished ALL of the goals I set for the week. You know the old saying "If it aint broke, don't fix it."?  Well, I'm going by that this week.  Goals are the same: 6 days a week, 100 words each session.

It is amazing that I got ANY writing in this week, but here are the stats: Monday: +118 words Tuesday: +93 words Wednesday: No Writing Thursday: +148 words Friday: +112 words Saturday: +148 words Sunday: No Writing Total Words Written This Week: 619 words Total Project Word Count: 4,203 words I'm pretty upset that I didn't hit ANY of my goals this week.  I didn't write at least 6 days, I didn't write 1200 words, and I didn't hit 100 words per writing session. Also, I didn't finish chapter 2 (but I'm REALLY CLOSE) This was a pretty bad writing week.  But, similar to last week, it was an AWESOME friends week full of spontaneous road trips, the beach, fun centers, late night pie excursions, church picnics, and movie nights.  This is what summer is supposed to be made of.  I also had a job interview (update: didn't get the job) and did some work on our patio, and lots of working out. Do I need to learn to be more assertive with my wri

So, this last week wasn't the best writing week for me, but it was an awesome friends week.  Sometimes treasure hunting, spontaneous road trips, and s'more surprise parties just have priority over writing.  Sometimes.  Anyway, here are the stats: Monday: +202 words Tuesday: No Writing Wednesday: +132 words Thursday: No Writing Friday: No Writing Saturday:  +173 words Sunday: +435 words Total Word Count: 3584 words Word Count for the Week: 942 words So I didn't win Camp NaNoWriMo this time around.  But that's okay.  I've outlined a novel, finished chapter 1 and am 2/3 the way through chapter 2.  I'm happy with what I've accomplished. I also didn't accomplish the goals I set for the week.  So I will keep them for this week. Goals: 1220 words this week. Finish Chapter 2 Write at least 100 words per writing session Write 6 days (at least) this week.
