checking in

Last week had its challenges. All of my produced words weren't gold--by any means--but I kept my butt in the chair, didn't get sidetracked by new work-writing possibilities, or that next new, bright and shiny (or old, dim and dull) novel idea, and kept writing. End result? About 8000 words--I say 'about' because some of this draft was handwritten and I haven't typed everything up yet. I didn't make my 1500 words every single day, but I did make it more than half the time. So, I'm ready to plow into the new week.

I'm late, I'm late

I'm here! I'm writing! Not as much as I planned, and not on the project I'd planned--but I'm writing! Gave up on SW--well, not completely, but decided I need to write something lighter for a while. So, after dedicating half of last week to SW, I switched and started working up the outline/background/synopsis/character-sketches/and-all-that-stuff for a romance that's been rolling around in my brain since December. Hope to accomplish my 1500 a day on it starting today. So far, so good. With my nose to the grindstone, I should have a first draft completed by month's end--even starting it late. I love months with 31 days!

Happy creating, all!
