Ding!

I am trying to write 500 words a day (as a minimum), that's about 1 page single spaced. I've been keeping up on but just in case anyone is curious, I am trying to keep the logs going, so DING! 500+ words written today.

Main story's current word count: 37,700

Word Counts Baby!

I have to write. It makes the crazy go away. Not all the way away, but I seem to get through the day easier. Lately, I've been all over the place with my writing. I have a city I've created called Redpine for the everyday sort of fiction. One of the stories is called Kittens: Free or Best Offer and there is nothing supernatural going in the story--I mention this because most of you have read some of the first draft of Lucky One. But, I have decided to focus again on Lucky One as I have the story pretty well mapped out at this point.

I am striving to finish the first draft and am working on it every day, even if it's just a little and I've allowed myself to go back for some light editing, which can either add or subtract from the overall word count--which is how I'm measuring my progress. Word count for today before I've started in on the story is: 31,356.

I work today and don't usually have the mental capacity to sit down and write, so I have to sneak in some writing--even though my wife is home today.

Hatred Keeps Me Going

Hatred for YOU that is.

Should you be worried? For the most part, no. I don't know where you live and I don't like traveling so much, so this all worth it's weight in gold. But don't be too quick to dismiss my anger! You never know when it will be convenient for me to ruin you!
