Echoes, Day 14

A little less than 500 words this morning, but that was more due to technical difficulties than anything else. I moved my home office to a different place, in order to alleviate the stay-at-home blues that this year has brought with it. So, today, there was the struggle of making sure everything worked properly. Now […]

Echoes, Day 13, Part 2

Managed to write a bit more, but still behind where I should be if I intend to finish by the end of January. Nothing like a word count tracker to keep you honest about your goals. Had a ridiculous breakthrough this evening, though, as I was writing. It’s moments like this that I love. A […]

Echoes Day 13

While I managed to get two chapters further edited, my actual word count for the day so far is not great. I’ve managed another 700 words, making it just over 7,000 so far. But if I do intend to finish this by the end of January, I need to double my word count production. I’m […]

Echoes, Day 12, Part 2

6,440 words. All the main characters have taken the stage. And things are about to start getting hairy for them. Not that they don’t already have some problems to deal with. But those problems are about to explode…literally. So, my thoughts so far. These flashbacks, which I thought were good as they stood, lacked quite […]

Echoes, Day 12

Another day, another 1,000 words. I’m hoping to write more today, but this morning has been one thing after another keeping from sitting and writing for a long stretch. A couple more errands to run today, and then hopefully, I can sit and bang out at least another 1,000 words. Still feeling good about the […]

Echoes, Day 11

Hit 5,000 words this morning, and managed to do edits on another chapter. I’m a little behind on my daily word count, but I’m hoping to catch up this weekend. It’s amazing how a story can completely change by making a small modification. I originally had the story take place in the present (sort of, […]

Echoes, Day 10

Only wrote 800 words today, but I’ve also started concurrently editing my previous writing as well, so I imagine my word count may dip a bit. But I’m still ahead of schedule according to my calendar. Not much else to say today. Weekdays, it’s hard to get the word count, but I imagine come the […]

Echoes, Day 9, Part 2

I managed to write some more tonight. It went a little easier than it had this morning. I’m currently averaging 1,600 words a day, just a little over what I need to accomplish in order to finish by the end of January. This is a complete change from the writing I did in November. As […]

Echoes, Day 9

Day 2 of revision, and words flowing like molasses on a winter’s day, which today feels like. Managed a little over 1,000 words this morning, but I’m hoping to try another session after work. The ideal will be 2,000 words a day as that should give me about 40 days to complete this revision. I […]
