Stats Blog for July 25

Stats Blog for July 25 - July 31

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.

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
