Daily Word Count – February 15, 2016

Working on Witness to the Moon again today. Normally I’d switch, but I want to get WttM closer to Kennedy #2 in the Sylphline series. I like to switch back and forth when they are closer together. Since I started with the second in the Sylphline Series (pure Fantasy), I was way ahead of the game. It’s interesting how fast I’ve been catching up with it in terms of Witness to the Moon (you can see what the gibberish I’m talking means by looking in the sidebar and seeing the word count tracker. It’s farther for Kennedy #2 (yes, I need a name, lol). Gotta work on cover too for both of these.

Music below is what I’m starting my writing day with. Starting at 10:30 which is a good half hour past when I normally start writing, but the whole woke up late, got to workout late, etc., pushed me back. I only did one sun salutation for the yoga so that it didn’t take long, but that way I did something. I don’t do a normal sun salutation. It’s a combo of moves I made up to work my entire body in one stream of movement, and then I hold it for a determined amount of slow breaths. Five is the least I try for. More is better.

Love the song, not so much that video.

Today was a fairly crazy emotional moment. Fshew. Alex just revealed the huge secret for this book that could very well tear that bind that exists between Stefan and Mina (Alex is Stefan). Then he disappeared because I mean . . . what else do you do when you hear something that totally tears the world out from under your feet and you think the person who you were getting close to may just have become public enemy number one? It’s a lot for that particular Lycaen. I understand. He’s been through the ringer in terms of that heart of his. Hardens him.

Word count I started the day with: 48,141. Wrote for 45 minutes give or take a minute. Ended the day at: 49,577.

Goal for this book is around 90K.

Total for the day: 1436 words

Why do this & why do I spend so little time writing? Answer.

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....
