Word count

2,000 words done today. Wahoo! Its 2:30am. The MS is weighin' in at about 44,500ish words right now. I can't wait till it has a solid beginning, middle, and end. It does already, but I mean that actually flows and make sense 8-) Then I can rip it apart and make it better. Yeah baby. I'm getting ready for red markers and too much chocolate. LOL. Oh, btw! I got a runner's up prize from Aprilynne Pike's blog! I'm getting goodies. YUM!

Word Count

38,500ish words... and no, I haven't read my new books yet. Err, I still have to make it to 42,000 words before I can read Crescendo or Torment. They stare at me from my book shelf. I did buy more... which simply seems cruel since I won't let myself read them.... 42,000 words here I come!!

Word Count Wednesday

I have done some writing and as of right now I have 36,581 words. I have 5,419 words to go until I make my first challenge. I think the key here is to actually get up after I go to bed and just write. No distractions. Peace and Quiet. I'll do that this week and see how much I get done.

Progress...er, not so much.

Okay, I have to be honest. Pages written? 0. Words written? 0. Someone slap me? Oh wait, my sister already did that. Okay. 7,500 words before I can read my books that are NOW on the way. They are going to taunt me with their fabulously designed book covers. Got to get to work!

Woke up and wrote some...

I didn't write anything all day and my characters were ticked off at me. Nagging buggers. I ignored them all day as I was cooking, cleaning, doing laundry, job searching, yapping away, mothering, and finally when I was snuggling down in my covers ready for sleep, sleep did not come. Nope. My characters wouldn't stop whining, "Write you lazy ol' woman! Novelists, write! And you have to write about me, me, me!" Grr. And yet, how I love them. They dragged me out of bed and got me writing (about them of course) and before the clock struck 12 and my carriage turned into a pumpkin, I actually wrote 1,000 words. Woohoo. 6,500 words to go to get to my first challenge of 42,000 words before the end of October.

Word count

I've got 34,500ish words. And stumped. I wrote 2,500 words within two days and then the words stopped coming. I have to write 7,500 more words before I can have a margarita and read my new books. Onward!
