Mellisonant March - 500 words/day, all genres welcome!

Public transport was conspiring against me this morning as I made my way to Starbucks for my morning writing session. I only got half an hour instead of the usual hour.

318 words achieved nevertheless, which isn't bad for 30 minutes of writing.

Must get to the EDJ now. A busy day ahead. Three meetings. Oh joy...

I had to go home from work yesterday because I felt unwell, so no writing. But I'm back in today (wooooooo) so no excuses tonight.

What's the EDJ, Shara? I feel your pain on the meetings. Over the past couple of weeks, I've been lucky if I have two hours a day not spent in meetings.

Me too. My usual 45-minute commute took nearly 90, and I was jammed onto a train, playing Twister to reach a pole to hold on to. (This was the less crowded train after I let three others on my line go by.)

Ahem. </rant> Public transportation has broken me. I couldn't even read.

And with all of that, I have not yet written/revised any more either. But I will later today, so am having Thoughts about it.

EDJ = Evil Day Job.

Ah. Evil indeed.

:hugs everyone:

My eye pain was severe last night, so the only thing that got done was tweaking of my banner/FB Author page cover. After that, I settled in with a book (a real book!) and read for most of the evening. Eye is still pretty bad, so I don't know if I'll get anything done tonight. I do need to edit my teaser, though.

I made my way through the hairy edits and just need to re-read through those bits and minor edits toward the end. And instead I am making brownies. And dinner. Food is necessary. Even so, someone yell at me. Many someones.

Hey everyone, hope you're doing well.

I spent all weekend finding excuses not to finish the project I'm working on, which is about six hours work away from being finally finished. I think I'm running scared from "finishing", because I can't tweak it after that. It's also possible that the EDJ (which was very evil at the end of last week) was putting me in a bad headspace.

So anyway. It's a new week. Old excuses aren't allowed.

This is for all of us:






I fit in fifteen minutes of edits/writing this morning. More to come, I hope.

:waves tiredly to all:

Had a nice birthday weekend, and I'm trying to get back into the swing of things...what was I working on again?

(*really needs to get to bed at a decent hour*)

Whoo! Well done, Liz!

Happy birthday, Saoirse!

Happy birthday Saoirse!

Good work, Liz! I hope your agent likes what you've done with it!

Yesterday, wrote 1.8k new words to finally finish a short story I'd been working on. I then rewrote it, cutting 2k out, to sit at 6,349 words. I also completely changed the ending, which gave my MC the amount of agency she deserves!

I have to find something new to work on today, so I doubt I'll be as hardworking as I was yesterday

Happy birthday, Saoirse!

And well done, Lizmonster!

404 words this morning. They really did not want to be there, but can I get on with the rest now? Maybe?

Thanks everyone!

CONGRATS Liz for being done.

Started the final edits on my WIP. Still twitchy.

Happy birthday, Saoirse!

I took last week off from writing, while I accomplished massive amounts of cooking for a church function. But I'm back this week.

Spent the last couple of days working on some changes my agent recommended on the new series proposal, and just sent them back in.

Waiting to hear back from my agent. Decided to write more on the proposed series. Managed 1315 new words and spend about an hour plotting.

No new words for me lately, at least not that I can accurately count. Doing edits and revisions on my Kelli Storm series before I send them to my new publisher. Fun, fun, fun. The good side of this is, besides finally having a publisher, is that I can rework so much of the books and not change the plot line. Taking out a ton of F bombs, though there will still be a few, and found some minor issues in book 2 that I fixed. All in all, I know it's worth it.

Now I just have to hear back from these people I interviewed with on a job, that they say I have, but haven't received the offer letter yet. My deadline for getting back to a day job is closing fast, and if I don't start soon, I don't know what I'll do.
