Well, last week was much better than the week before. I think switching wips may have helped. Actually I worked on two different wips last week. I know I know... I need to concentrate on one, but I'd rather go where I'm being most productive. I started (well picked up an old wip) a young adult story on Wednesday and it's been flowing very nicely. It's not the one I had been working on earlier in the year, this one is more contemporary. I've been trying to figure out what kids want to be reading, what I would've liked to have read when I was a teen. I know vampires are big these days, but no, I'm not writing a teenage vampire story. I don't think I'd want to compete there, but my main character won't be any ordinary teenager.
So, my word count for this week is 6971 words. I can't complain. I do have to do some editing on other things, though. I'm itching to get something submitted somewhere (although I do have a manuscript with L & L Dreamspell, but no word yet).
I tried the chicken prompt but my chickens were not very spontaneous. Maybe today something scathingly brilliant will hit me. For now I have to concentrate on cute boys and an ice cream stand.
But I did the ten minute writing challenge. I like that. Works well when I don't have any distractions.
Everyone have a lovely Sunday! I'm going flea marketing soon.

Enjoy your Sunday, Ceri. It sounds like you made a lot of progress this week!
Keep in mind... it doesn't say it has to be a LIVE chicken! You could have them eating chicken, or shopping for chicken, too.
*G*
ME? I'm going for the live chicken, of course.
That's a pretty darned good word count... hope you had fun flea marketing.
