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??) ...

Hold on to your butts, this is a long one.

I've been thinking a lot lately about creative nonfiction - and that's probably due to the fact that for the first time in 7(?) years, I have been inspired by people.  Real life people. I took my first creative nonfiction class in community college because it was a term I had never heard before.  How on Earth could an essay be creative? But it opened up this new world to me, a world of memoir and a level of thought that I needed and ended up thriving on. the first creative essay I wrote landed me a spot reading in a swanky art gallery surrounded by middle aged, well dressed academics drinking wine (which was, and still is my measurement of success). I continued taking creative nonfiction as a writing major at Southern Oregon University. I got A;s, I was told I could easily be a biographer or a memoirist, or essayist writing for any number of journals, and yet, for some reason, I stopped. I attended Grad School where I studied Library Science, not just because I wanted to b...
