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.

YA LIT CHAT... (New Link)

Check out this site! For all you YA writers, this site looks AMAZING. 

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!

GEORGIA MCBRIDE: Watch out for these Newbie Writer No-no's (YA)

"I read a lot of manuscripts–some partials, first chapters, first 250 words, fulls and everything in between. I don’t read nearly as much as agents and editors but the difference is that the ones I read are ones I’m asked to analyze and discern how to fix what may be wrong.
I’ve noticed a pattern in what I’ve read to the point where I think it’s time for me to talk about the common mistakes I see new writers make–relative to writing young adult literature. I hope this helps!" Read the rest at Georgia McBride's Blog!
