Jaspideous January - 500 words/day, all genres welcome!

Way to go, everyone! Good luck with the interview, Ken!

It's hard to tell from my absence, but I have been writing. I'm nearly 20k into a new WIP and am slowly making progress revising another. It's nice to have a second option to switch to if I'm not feeling the love for the main one.

Ken, hope the interview went well.

I'm finally getting into a rhythm with my editing. I'm copying 3 chapters at a time, and working on them, slashing as much as possible, while, hopefully, still making sense.

1685 today.

Starting to get easier. I'll need to stop and plot the rest of it out soon, but the beginning is taking shape. We have a crime, but not the main one, and a few suspects, and a reason for my protag to get involved. I've missed this!

Nothing today. Hairdressers then shopping in town then work for me, but my plumber has been rescheduled so I now have tomorrow free. Hoping for some words.

Thanks, the interview went well and I was told that I would definitely be receiving a call back for interview #3. They still have a few candidates to go through. Still, I think I impressed them, so fingers crossed.

Not so much on the WIP front, only managed a measly 80 new words, which I'll take as it's the start of the next chapter. Words is words.

Woo hoo, Ken! (<- Three words. Do they count?)

Of course they count, Namatu. All words count, no matter how few.

Awesome about the interview, Ken!

1,541 words last night. I was on a roll.

1,008 words for me. Like pulling teeth.

Congrats, Ken, on the good interview!

Good luck with picking the right one, Liz.

Nothing yesterday as I was zonked from work and grocery shopping. Went to bed super-early and got up a bit earlier than usual, and I still feel funky. But I'm gonna write today. For realsies.

Crossing fingers, eyes, legs...

4 chapters edited, one consigned to trash. (Gotta love back-up copies, they instil such confidence. )

WTG on the editing, muse!

A whopping 1,847 words today.

With all that crossed, you're going to have trouble writing. (And maybe a few other things you need to do, like walking.)

Awesome editing, muse.

Excellent wordage, Saoirse.

lizmonster!

After a big fat 0 yesterday, I finally got into the killers head and knocked out 562 new words. Not a lot but I'll take it, and it wraps the chapter.


ETA: Added another 197 to the chapter I thought was done. Go figure. The killer had more to say. So that brings my total today up to 759! Not as awesome as Saoirse, but I'll take it.

No words yesterday, minus or otherwise. Today I will edit 3 chapters. I will!

Heck, I can't say anything, I haven't opened my WIP at all today. I guess I need someone to crack a whip over me too.


ETA: Well, I did open the WIP, so there's that. Sadly I only managed to add a whopping 99 new words, and again it was in the chapter I thought I had finished. Can't seem to get back into Cal's head. *sigh*

1381 today.

I don't tend to post on days that I don't write. Maybe the whips are just too kinky for me.

Hi
Its been a while since I've popped in here. I need to get back to writing consistently.

Today I wrote 219 words.

Nice word count, BfloGal! (And you know Ken. He'll whip anything. )

99 > 0, Ken, so well done. Hopefully Cal will start talking to you soon.

Thanks, he is starting to talk. Well, it's really more of a mumble. I think he went out last night and hit the Jack Daniels a little too hard.

I have written down some of the backstory that I need to make this thing coherent. I will start the synopsis proper tomorrow. I figure I'll stumble on the bits that need filling in as I do that.

In the meantime, I have to freak out about this storm-that-I-can't-do-anything-about. Sigh.

I start with my backstory before I really get into the book, and usually add as I go.

Stay safe and warm up there. I was watching on the Weather Channel and it looks like a killer storm. Hope you have plenty of supplies and necessities.

Better progress with this morning's writing session. I think I'm starting to find my way with this WIP. 1,000 words achieved.

The new WIP now consists of just over 5,000 words.

Think I will focus on that, instead of the 65,000 words to go!!

1,663 words today. So no whip needed.

Took half the day to get motivated, though.

So for my next trick
