Daily Word Count – Feb 24, 2016

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: 68,896. Worked for 20 minutes or so. Ended the day at: 69,817.

Goal for this book is around 90K.

Total for the day: 921 words

On my mind

Would’ve had more words today, but I’m at this point in the novel where I know where I want the next phase to go, but I haven’t built the bridge to get there. It’s like I have the front part finished and I see the end part, but that middle is going . . . hmm. So I went back and read through a bunch of chapters and decided to try and insert a scene/chapter of some basic things that may pave the way for using them later on. Or not. This is the part where the writer just bleeds or throws mud at the paper and hopes for the best!

As long as the words are flowing and a semblance of story comes, it’s fine. It’s just a bit sluggish right now. Editing is where the magic happens. Then that dirt covered diamond is chipped and, shined up, and made into something incredible.

Working on the cover for Into The Midst and may premier it a little later. Have to make a page for it too.

Why do I do this & can you participate? Answer.

What I’m reading –

Relic by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child

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

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...

(GBE 2:Blog On) First Love

Old post being reposted. GBE2: Blog On's Topic this week is: First Love Click the link to find out what GBE2: Blog On is and how YOU can participate. If you love writing and/or blogging, it's the place to go! Great people, great fun, what more could you ask for? FIRST LOVE When I first saw the topic for this week's GBE2, my first thought was of the friendship I walked away from just last week. He was one of my first love's. But I had already talked about it on a previous web post so I wanted something different. I just didn't want to focus on it. Today, while I was doing dishes, a.k.a inspiring myself, I thought of a different first love. To myself. I do too. I love myself. I may not always like myself... I mean come on, if you had to live with her 24/7 she might drive you batty too. But I do love myself. People can tell you so. I don't need to. Well I did, but... I'm digressing. I'm quirky, crazy (two different things there obbb...

(GBE2: Blog On) Let go of the reins and you'll know freedom

This week's (4th) GBE2: Blog On topic is "Control." For more info head here I admit it, I'm a type-A personality. It was a learned behavior. I felt as though I needed to be in constant control of everything around me. I worked 3 jobs and went for weeks on occasion without a day off. I still felt as though I wasn't doing enough. Not around the house, not with my friends, not for dating, not even for work. I just have always had this "I'm not doing enough" attitude instilled in me from a lot of the immediate people around me. So a lot of my behavior was ingrained so deep that I still suffer with that. I feel as though no matter what, I'm not doing enough, being the best I can be, and all of that great unhealthy attitude one should not have. But I do. And I know it's not good, but I still suffer with feeling inadequate because I am just not doing enough. Which is wrong. It's just something that I suffer with. I admit to it....
