Daily Word Count – Feb 22, 2016

By Unknown

This week it’s all about Kennedy #2. I know the series name will be The Sylphline Realm, but I don’t have a specific title. I was thinking of doing a play on the situations, but I’m piddling. I really do need covers and names now that I keep track of word count so I’ll work on them. Currently doing one story one week, then shifting to another the next week, and back.

Word count I started the day with: 67,115. Wrote for 45 minutes or so. Ended the day at: 68,314.

Goal for this book is around 90K.

Total for the day: 1,199 words

On my mind

Official Cover - DOTRP - Book 1I am starting edits on Daughter of the Red Planet  (series name is The Guardian of Life) so I’ll update the widget on my home page shortly. This is the 3rd round, which means inputting all those edits that I did on the paper version.

I had a bit of a conundrum. Now that I’m using an old monitor of my brothers with this desktop, I don’t have the same setup as I did before to hold my paper. On Instagram, I’d shared an image where I used two of those butterfly clips on the edge of the screen so that it would hold the paper for me. Constantly looking down and up, down and up can get painful. Headachey too.

So for this, I can’t employ the same method. Not necessarily at least. I asked myself what I could use. What would work in a similar fashion. I’d looked around for a clipboard when I saw an old picture frame. Since there was glass in it, it has a bit of weight to it and it also has a stand on the back. I clipped my paper to the front of it to keep the paper from sliding down and now I can just fold the stand up and set aside when I’m done at night. Much easier. I could’ve used this method with my laptop too coincidentally, but I didn’t think about it. So if you’re looking for a method of holding papers up so that you can work with them easier, try using an old picture frame that has one of those stands on the back, and then add a butterfly clip to the edge. Since my frame is a 10″ frame and the paper is 11″, I have the clip on the side of the paper, instead of the top because the paper is higher than the frame.

Why do this & can you participate? Answer.

Ladies and Gentlemen….

Normally, right about now, I would feel inclined to continue with “and children of all ages” (guess I’ve been to the circus just one time too many) but this time instead of introducing some dancing bears or the Flying Wallendas, I’m simply here to introduce myself. My name is Tracie Dee . I’ve been writing for about 4 years now and got my start blogging on MySpace. I love writing but these days, I’m also finding enjoyment with vlogging. I have found that videos are a nice way to share what words alone might not give justice to and also for people to really get to know the person behind the words and the keyboard. Overall, I consider myself to be a pretty down to earth and upbeat person, whose sense of humor can be a bit wacky at times. Hey, life can be rough and sometimes laughter and levity can be our only saving grace to help us get through it all. I consider it to be our very own little light at the end of the tunnel that serves to remind us that even during the very worst

Bucket Lists

"Its never too late to be what you might have been" – George Eliot I’ve been a late bloomer in pretty much every aspect of my life. Some of it was out of my control (I mean I really couldn’t help if Mother Nature has a twisted sense of humor and exercised it heavily on me during my teens and twenties) but I can’t put all of the blame for it on her, either. Some of it was also by my personal choice. And by that, I mean I used to be very shy and afraid of “what was out there” in the big, scary world so I would rarely try anything new or took any chances of any kind. I chose instead to do my best to hide away from life, tucking myself away from it safely like a tight little rosebud that had not yet bloomed. But there is a quote that says “And the time came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” This was the case for me. As time went on, my rosebud shell grew more and more uncomfortable for me. So one day I just took a c

Silent relaxing sunday--wait it's Saturday. A day lost and found! :)

By
This week's   GBE   is about "Lost and Found." I know a lot of people some years back thought that I'd lost myself. I was even told it was the better part of myself. It took me years to figure out that it wasn't true. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I always believed it to be true. Until I finally had the courage to admit to myself, that they were in the wrong; not me.  That's the problem with some "friends." They aren't really your friends. Someone recently told me something that really hit home. It was profound even.  She said:  "The friend is not a friend. just a person with emotional gravity in your life."    Well that's true. Granted, the comment she had made was from a completely different happening, but still it works.  A lot of people are fortunate in having tons of close friends, even close friends that stick around their entire lifetime. I gave up on that notion a long time ago. I realized that mostly, friends w
