me as a writer: his name is pronounced like this, and this is what he looks like
me as a reader: absolutely not

everyone is talking so much in this meeting when they could just talk less and then the meeting would be over and we could all go take a nap instead

Have not been posting #dailywords in a while. Have also not been writing daily. Getting back on the horse this week.

1200 #dailywords today. The going is slower with two new mini editors trying to help.

Realized this morning I had a pretty big continuity issue so I edited and rewrote about 3k #dailywords today

Thursday was a 0 words day, but I added 1,736 #dailywords to my WIP yesterday and am having a little writing marathon today.

970 #dailywords squeezed into a day where I wasn’t sure it would happen. But the whole point of #dailywords is to make them daily, which means figuring out how to make time, even if it isn’t very much.

I added another 1300 #dailywords to my mystery WIP at the library tonight. Sending my husband (forever alpha reader) another 10k words so he can hype me up about how good this book is gonna be. 🥰

I forgot to share my #dailywords lately! I missed Saturday as we brought home two new kittens and life got a bit turned upside down. Word counts were minuscule yesterday and today but they were greater than zero!

After a short second writing session last night and some morning #dailywords today, I crossed 30k in my #amateursleuth mystery WIP 🖋️

Good morning! My sleepy brain hammered out another 663 #dailywords this morning.

Another 942 words today. Really doing better at making the #dailywords close to daily this year so far!

I didn’t post yesterday’s #dailywords because I thought I’d have another session after the morning. That didn’t happen, so yesterday was 336 and today it’s 923. Hoping again for a second session to bring me closer to 2k for the day, but we’ll see. Some is better than none!

Basement writing session added another 1045 #dailywords to my draft. #amwriting

921 #dailywords yesterday and another 1014 today. Hit 25k in my #amateursleuth mystery draft!

1187 #dailywords. Back at it after over a week off. It’s so hard getting back into the story after a break, and these words were hard won.

Added 784 #dailywords to my #amateursleuth mystery draft. I think this is five days in a row. The words are adding up!

964 #dailywords in my library session today

1,877 #dailywords tonight. Crossed 20k in this draft!

469 early #dailywords before work today. About half a scene, which I plan to finish this afternoon

#dailywords haven’t been quite so daily lately. 😬 1265 done this morning with winter ambiance in the background

Almost 1500 #dailywords in a very good hour at the library

I just measured and seems my hook had about a 38” cable/cord. I could have gone shorter - the stitches don’t have to be able to be spread out the full amount on the cable, and I just checked the fabric width/squareness after a return pass when there was only one stitch on the hook.

It’s the Tunisian smock stitch in two colors (a light gray alternating with a lion brand mandala gradient)

Todays #dailywords were the first written under a blanket I’m finally finished crocheting (minus a border I still need to add). 1164 added to my #amateursleuth mystery this morning.

Perks of having a day job: sometimes people bring candy to the office. Currently eating Dots and feeling sooo nostalgic

Todays #dailywords were 6 pages of mad scribbles “what if what if what if” until I think I figured enough out to go back to drafting tomorrow

A few months ago, my best friend and i won the ticket lottery and enjoyed Wicked on Broadway. Tonight I saw the movie and very much enjoyed it! The hubs (who is not at all familiar w the musical but was not thrilled the movie is so long) enjoyed it, too.

Hit the point in this draft where I need to better understand whodunnit and why. Taking a break from drafting and switching gears to brainstorming and figuring out my ending. #dailywords aren’t going to be actual words for a while, but time spent with the book.

Yesterday was a 0 day for me, and in the interest of not having more 0 days for my #dailywords I got in a short session before work today. Less than 400, and I hope it’s not my only writing session for the day, but more than 0 so it’s okay if it is.
