This has been an incredible stress filled week at my day job. I took over supervision of a program that someone else was over seeing. And it made for no energy at night other than the sweet relief of sleep.
But I'm mad at myself because I can't allow that to interfere with my creative time which is my own. So now, I'm stressed on my word count for this week...sucks, sucks, sucks.
Okay, I'm over it. And I won't beat myself up and over do tomorrow to make up for the week. I am about 3600 words behind. Tomorrow I will focus (it's my day off) and write what I will and not fret about the lost words to paper because every night I have visualized the scenes I want to write. So I'm hoping the actual words to paper will be easy tomorrow.
:(
Peace
hope it went better for you all.

I'm on a roll.
If I pace myself correctly, I'll have 30k words more or less by month end. That is completely on track with around 90k at the end of March.
I wish I could take a 2 week vacation to just sit and write but the reality of eating and having a nice warm apartment prevent that from happening yet.
And who am I fooling. Even when I do have the luxury of a two-week vacation, in Cancun no less, which was in December, I spent a lot of time (whispering - not writing) but I was researching.
Next month I will contact the person who completed my last book cover and let him know what this story is about to see what concepts he can come up with. I want something sharp, not blurred this time around.
And now I'm rambling.
Happy writing folks

I have to stop waiting until late at night to post my numbers. But when I write at night, when it's quiet, this is when the numbers will get put in.
So tonight's words came easy but I'm not totally pleased with what I wrote. But the beauty of first drafts are that we are allowed to suck. And hopefully have enough parts that are pleasing so that in the next draft, you don't totally throw everything away.
Which won't happen. But my mind is also on an anthology that I've been asked to submit to. 4000 to 6000 words due by February 14, 2013. Really tight deadline. But I need to decide what I want to write for it because I'm pleased to be asked.
Okay, tired now.
Happy writing.
