Daily Word Count – March 4, 2016

By Unknown

Official CoverWorking on Witness to the Moon this week. I’ve been having a dickens of a time with trying out other writing programs now that my Word 2010 license is invalid. My desktop is the 4th to install it on so pfft, it quit. Been trying out other programs. As much as I like the WPS Office, I noticed the past few days that when I’m typing real fast and then it goes to save, it’ll crash the program. Yes, I am a lightning speed typer!

No, not really, but I am fairly fast at this point I suppose. Really helpful to myself because then I can keep up with my thoughts and there ain’t (ain’t isn’t a proper word of speech, yeah, yeah, yeah old school teachers but that is why I’m calling myself a rebel word slinger – know de rules, break de rules) nothing better than to keep up with my thoughts. It allows me to type all the faster. The only thing slowing me down since I still haven’t switched back to the Dvorak layout is simply having to wear something on my wrists or fingerless gloves to keep the muscles warm so they don’t cinch up. I have been doing great with my makeshift night splint. No more daytime pain in the hand thanks to that.

So not much thoughts on the story for today. Been busy trying to get my old Works Suite (Word 2002 baby!) to work with Win 10. Dem licenses don’t expire after any amount of PC’s. Only drawback is inability to open .docx files so I’ve been playing with Open Office (no likie, dunno why), Libre Office (just trying out today, may not fit me either), and WPS Office (still like it, despite the crashes and that it takes a minute to upload to my Dropbox account every time I save – have I mentioned I lack patience sometimes?). I may keep the WPS Office and the Word 2002 in the end. This could be solved by me just buying a new Word license (for a similar year), or Scrivener I’m sure, but both cost similar and I just got the desktop so no go on the budget. I’m not making enough steadily off my books yet. I can get groceries and pay for the pets and there goes the money. I was considering setting up a donation thingie in the sidebar in case people wanted to offer a few bucks here and there to support my writing career, but I’m still back and forth on it. It would definitely help me between books sales. And keep this site going, even allow me to open another site I wanted to do, but we will see. What do you think?

Currently doing one story one week, then shifting to another the next week, and back.

Word count I started the day with: ? Worked from 10:30 – 11something AM. Ended the day at: 57,136.

(Got meh numbers wrong yesterday. Program said wrong, or I looked at something wrong.)

Goal for this book is around 90K.

Total for the day: technically no idea words

 

Question of the Day –

What is your thing to do on vacation?

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

By
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

By
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....
