277 words added to the WIP today!

477 words written! A good day!
No time recorded, honestly on a good day I get to come back to the WIP at least once more, sometimes a word or two, sometimes more.

A block of time is awesome, but barring that, claw those words onto the page however you can.ots not the wrong way if it works

Facing the day like:

182 words! All towards the goal!

116 words! Not a lot of progress, but it's all progress.

Got the youngest to help clean, too. That's not always forward progress either. 😂

Yep! Instagram content coming soon! One or two things left to (re)learn on photo editing, and then assemble a buffer, since we're coming up on the holidays. I thought about waiting for the first of the year, but I'm impatient 😂

Whoops, almost forgot! 338 words floating on a long day

Busy morning! Got some work done getting a new project rolling, and 304 words more done on the work in progress, plus a rabbit hole of bird markings and seasonal fruits

Productive on writing this morning, with lovely fall weather and the youngest running around the backyard playing in the leaves and drawing on Grandma's old easel.

488 words

366 words! New chapter!

Every day a little further, that's how you get things done

"Why do you write fantasy?"

Thinking about that question this morning.

"Fantasia has no boundaries."
That's why.

It's as liberating (or confining) as the wishes from the Auryn (ifykyk)

"He has suffered with you... He has come here with you. He is very close... listening to every word."

Greatly enjoying both, thank you!

Remember remember
The fifth of November
Gunpowder
Treason
And plot
I see of no reason
That the gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot

Lol, me neither but some of the entries for the in world journal are lending themselves more to one character's journey or another. For example an excerpt about power and magery fits the up and coming wizard, and the one about training and loss suits the errant farm boy, so that's their order

Rather than stop the story and figure out an epigram.

Not calling it a hack, but maybe it helps somebody 🙂

278 words! New chapter started and new flavor text!

I am ADD, so I lose the thread sometimes with flavor text, so I try to look ahead at what I need for the next couple chapters and write several flavor texts at a time.

This also helps my momentum going into a new chapter, because I can just start

354 words, in 2 hours! That's two chapters edited! Thanks to daylight savings for waking me early!

"Far over the misty mountains cold
To dungeons deep and caverns old
We must away ere break of day
To seek the pale enchanted gold."

- J R R Tolkien

110 words in revision!

Figuring out how to track word count on revisions has created a nice little boost for me. Makes revision seem less like a weird hole of page numbers.

Probably won't get back for more words today, but it's a good start to the day.

Long day. Technically progress, but just cutting the note files off the tablet into Word into their respective places.

It's something

Woo 400 words! Maybe the end of the chapter? Needs a second pass...

#booksky

Only 200 words today, but that includes a pov shift and fun research rabbit holes, like videos of dogs running and tutorials on "how to use a sling" (the weapon kind, not like for a sprained wrist)

Everything towards the goal!

Homemade garlic soup, with croutons, in a red bowl

Garlic soup, with croutons. Keeps the vampires away.

Happy Halloween 🎃

284 words! I think I'm over the bump in the scene that was driving me nuts 😅

True, but sometimes the wizard just isn't interested in sharing 😅

181 words in an hour plus. Definitely having trouble with this chapter 😅

207 words in about 40 minutes, this morning. Chapter turned introspective and having a hard time getting it back on track 😅

Just 40 words yesterday.
Moving on to today

227 words in 30 minutes! And a new chapter started after realizing I'd started writing out of order 😅

Different povs so NBD, but still
