100k Update

Ok, so my goal to catch up really didn't go so well, but I should get a lot of time in the next few days! 

Here's my stats for the last week:

Tuesday Jan-22 - 2114

Wednesday Jan-23 - 607

Thursday Jan-24 - 410

Friday Jan-25 - 100

Saturday Jan-26 - 0

Sunday Jan-27 - 1369

Monday Jan-28 - 0

So I had a couple of good days, but the rest were awful! On Friday I had work and then my sister came home from university for a couple of days, so I didn't get much writing done. On Saturday I had work and then went out with my boyfriend for our anniversary, so no writing at all. Then yesterday I had a long day at work and then saw my boyfriend again, so again, no writing. 

I had a good writing day on Sunday, and for the first time I wrote most of my posts for this week in advance. It saves me a lot of time, so I think I might carry on doing it. 

I'm hoping to get lots of writing done today, although I have a lot of blogging to catch up on. I should get a lot done on Thursday, too. My current total is 21513 words, so I'm about 8000 words behind...but I can still catch up!

    Setting targets is an excellent idea. If you don't achieve them, the next target will be better as you'll have a better idea of what you can achieve.

    Keep going and you'll succeed.

    Goals are amazing. I'm more of a feast or famine writer. I wish I was able to spread it out more like you do. Haha

    Funny enough I have been pondering word counts today because I have an aim of writing one million words on my my blog (not including comments) all as part of my diary. So far I have reached just over 350,000 words, not very exciting words but each day I write another post and slowly but surely the word count creeps up. I am less than a year away from 500,000 at which point I may leap about a bit and look pleased. Try and keep an nice even pace going and you will make it.

    That's still pretty amazing. And you're having a life too, which is the best thing.
    Keep going. You're doing brilliantly. :-)

    Isn't it agony, those days when we don't get to write? I think you're doing great. I admire how organized you are. Oh, and I just noticed our blog backgrounds are the same, lol. Great minds... :)

    Reminds me a bit of my NaNo numbers last year. I had a string of 5 days with 0 words while traveling. Not a conducive environment. Good luck!!

WEP August - Change of Heart

Image
So I actually wrote this piece for April's WEP, but I was ill so didn't get to post it in the end. I'm quite glad, as it suits this month's theme so much more. Change of Heart ‘Are you ready for this?’ Paul asked. Brian nodded, trying to steady his shaking hands. ‘You’re the only one who can defeat him,’ Molly said. ‘We believe in you.’ She stepped back to join Paul. Brian balled his fists as he looked at the huge stone doors before him. He took a deep breath and pushed them open. Before the doors closed, Brian glimpsed Paul and Molly turn and begin to walk away. It took a moment for his eyes to adjust to the darkness inside. With a whispered word he created light in the palm of his hand, raising it so it would light up the room. It was empty apart from another doorway, much smaller than the first, hidden away in the corner. Brian marched through it and found himself in a large chamber, lit by many flickering candles mounted along the walls. Someone stoo...

The Insecure Writer's Support Group was created by Alex J. Cavanaugh as a place where writers can talk about their insecurities once a month, and receive encouragement and support from other writers. It's such an amazing group, it even has its own website now, which you can visit here . This week I'm a co-host! Be sure to go to Alex's page and visit the other people who are co-hosting.  I had such great plans for my writing this month, but not one of them came through. There were three short stories I wanted to get written, and I also wanted to get back to my NaNo edits, but none of that happened. I still have a little time for one of the short stories, though; it's for Kyra Lennon's cat anthology , and it's due Friday! Not much time to do it, but I made a commitment and I will follow through with it!  Even though I haven't got much writing done in the last month (or the couple before that!) I'm not going to let it get me down. I...

A is for Arachne and Arlee!

Before I get to my Greek Mythology part of this post, at the request of Alex J. Cavanaugh  (great idea by the way, Alex!), I'd first like to thank Arlee Bird for coming up with the challenge in the first place. If it wasn't for him, we wouldn't be taking part in this amazing experience every year. Thanks, Arlee! This is one of my favourite tales from Greek mythology, so naturally I chose it for my first letter. Arachne was the daughter of a shepherd, and was famous for the beautiful tapestries she weaved. Nymphs would travel from all over to see her work, and to watch her weave. One day, a nymph asked her if her talent was a gift from the goddess Athena. Arachne protested, saying her skill was all her own, and that her weaving was better than Athena's. Athena heard of this, and challenged the girl to a weaving contest. Both sat at their looms and began to weave, nymphs gathering round to watch. Athena weaved a tapestry based on the glories of the gods, showing the...
