Re: I Wrote Today!
Sorry about the drama at the house. Yay for writing!
I started a new story yesterday. Again... I have so many unfinished stories, it's not funny.

Re: I Wrote Today!
Wohoooo!
Congrats for breaking the next 1k.
I didn't write. I even had to cancel my buddy session. The death of a friend hit me hard.

Re: I Wrote Today!
This morning was difficult. I struggled with hospital scenes and Lynn's return to Robusta. Finally managed to add 157 words to the story before running off to the office.

Re: I Wrote Today!
Well done! It'll get easier, but there will always be scenes that are hard to write.

Re: I Wrote Today!
The scene transition is not coming to me smoothly. I managed 225 words, but the change is still unclear. I know where I need to go but not how to get there.

Re: I Wrote Today!
What helps me with such difficult scenes is this: Sit quietly and daydream about the people in it, the situation, and then I allow it to unfold.
Very often, the solution comes to me that way. Maybe it'll help you, too.

Re: I Wrote Today!
I added 260 words to my story this morning before going to work. The secret to moving on was Peters inexperience. That allowed me to reveal a little bit on how the command structure is on the spaceship and walk him into the place he needs to be for the story to continue.

Re: I Wrote Today!
Happy to hear that Peter found a way. I'm starting to like him.
I went back and edited the last bit of Elsen's Adventure (which really needs a different title), added the dragon's name, and made the drama more dramatic.

Re: I Wrote Today!
I bet you're extra busy on Sundays.
I added a few words to the Young Elsen story. And in a fit, I compiled the dragon books as epub 2, made the cover jpgs smaller and re-uploaded them all to Draft2Digital. And I did the same for my German novel "Finderlohn".
Of course, Apple is still being its idiotic and obstructive self and hasn't accepted ANY of my books yet. B&N is chewing on my German novel...

Re: I Wrote Today!
I am stuck! I added 18 words to my story, but the government conspiracy reveals scene felt unnatural and forced instead of "right." I am editing my songbook project while attempting to figure out what is wrong.
I found part of the trouble and added another 111 words to the story before bedtime.
Total word count for today is 129 words.

Re: I Wrote Today!
Yay for getting unstuck!
I wrote a bit more in Young Elsen, and started translating a short story from English into German. Might as well publish it in both languages if I bother with a cover.
B&N has finally accepted "Finderlohn" for the Nook. Any sale there would be a real surprise, though.
Apple has accepted every book EXCEPT "Dorelle's Journey". That has been up longest. And of course, without the first book in the series, the rest won't make sense and I can't market them.
*kicks Apple really hard*

I might not be stuck, but the set-up on this scene is difficult for me. I did manage to add another 141 words to my story before bedtime.

56 words today. My limiting factor today was life. I spent a ton of time chatting with Lesa then had hospital visits that took me out of the house.

Re: I Wrote Today!
Growth and progress report.
In November when I started my story I had the goal of making a new habit and doing some writing every day.
November Word count total: 6,774 words, my average daily output was 225.8 words.
December Word count total: 9,442 words, my average daily production was 304.5 words.
January Word count total: 10,127 words, my average daily production was 326.7 words.
February Word count total: 11,911 words, my average daily production was 425.4 words.
March Word count total: 11,339 words, my average daily production was 365.8 words.
April Word count total: 7,416 words, my average daily production was 247.2 words.
May Word count total: 7,496 words, my average daily production was 249.8 words.
June Word count total: 6,730 words, my average daily production was 224.3 words.
My average monthly output per day so far is 294.4 words.
Putting a government plot into my novel resulted in a major reveal and set up confrontations I didn't expect. The learning process on how to deal with a second antagonist inside the story resulted in a major slow down in productivity while I put the pieces together.

Re: I Wrote Today!
I went into Hindu mythology to name the "smoking gun" left by the bad guys. That took awhile to figure out, but I still managed to add another 181 words to my story before bedtime.

Re: I Wrote Today!
Yay. I spent most of the weekend doing bookkeeping - and playing a game to deal with the stress. *sigh*
But I added a few more sentences to Young Elsen this morning.

I got distracted by the Photobucket problem this morning. It was almost time to go to work before I broke off from those thoughts and added another 76 words to my story.

Re: I Wrote Today!
The Photobucket thing is a huge problem. I'm glad most images here are on rbb. (Thanks for that!!)
I took five minutes yesterday morning to add a few more words to Young Elsen. This morning, I created a file for an ebook that might help funnel clients to my practice.
