WOW!

Reality: 67,000 words.
Plus, lots of editing, cleaning up, filling in the plot, developing the characters.

The weather is the same as last week here in Seattle. I read yesterday that this is the second coldest spring on record. We've had our heat on for the last couple of weeks. It's miserable, a real drag, and it doesn't look like it will get better any time soon. 

Blah! Mother Nature bring us some sunshine!

WOW!

WOW is my new abbreviation for Write On Wednesdays.

Reality: 63,000. Plus lots and lots of editing. Eyes on the finish line!


The Weather:

As an aside, it's June and it's 56 degrees here in Seattle. Fifty-six is the high temperature. Yesterday it poured sheets of rain. Please, please, please Mr. Sunshine come visit us before we forget who you are!

Write On Wednesdays!

Reality: 50,287 words.

12,000 words for the week.

Next week I'll try to hit 60,000. Plus, I will be working on revisions on the first chapter to workshop in my class.

I'm having a little plot point problem which is slowing the writing. Decisions, decisions, decisions!

Happy writing!

Write On Wednesdays!

Reality: 38,072 words.

Approximately 15,000 for the week. Maybe I can hit 50,000 words by next week. I'd like to finish the rough draft by June 7 when my in-laws will be here, I know the editing and rewriting is the hardest, most time consuming part.

Happy writing!

Write On Wednesdays!

Lots of writing, no querying this week. I'm making some good progress on WIP 3 and have given it the name Reality. WIP 1 is named Spin, and the rest remain unnamed. I'll workshop part of Reality this month with my writing class. I took a preliminary run at YA fiction as well and polished up a flash fiction piece.

Update!

Spin: 17,741

WIP 2: 3,205

Reality: 23,136

WIP 4: 10,158

YA Project: 1,279

17,635 words in one week! I'm trying to get some work done before my husband's parents come for a visit in June.

Happy Writing!
