Yesterday was an alright day. I spent some time examining why Hungry Gods was slowing down, and I realized I needed to redo the outline for the last part of the book. There’s enough going on that things had changed from my initial outline. Spilling Blood ep. 12 is moving very quickly. I expect the 1st draft to be done sometime in the first week of February.

And then there’s editing. Blargh!!! The pen name book mentioned below is around 30% complete.

Today marks the end of week 4 of the year, so I’m going to push for a higher word count today. Guess I should get off the internet for awhile. 🙂 Tomorrow I’ll take a look at progress and how I am doing with my goals.

(By the way, Spilling Blood ep. 1 is Free today).

Well I threw yesterday away. January 26th is a crumpled piece of paper with notes on it of what could have been, tossed in the general direction of a trash receptacle, and now lies next to it waiting for someone lacking apathy to come along and make the necessary effort to pick it up and make it disappear.

That’s a bit of an exaggeration. I wrote for an hour. I had a fairly low word count.

Not that I sat around and watched TV or anything, because I only walked through that room and it was off, okay? I sat down and wrote for an hour (as I mentioned), had a life insurance meeting with a salesman (that was a lengthy bit of time), and then got a call from a friend to go and do some touch-up painting on a building in Heyburn (that’s in Idaho). So I went on a short road trip and I painted. That was my day!

Yesterday was a productive day, as I had hoped. I’m hoping today will be better. Windows updated again, and my PC is hatin’ it. It took about an hour to get it working again afterward. I suppose if I was smart I’d turn off the auto updates, but I’m a writer and it’s all about danger. 😛

I finished Short Story #2 yesterday and it’s added to the pile of titles needing edited, which is growing alarmingly.

And finally, my word count for the year actually passed what I wrote in all of 2015. I didn’t write much last year, other than Spilling Blood Season II and Soul Sister. I hope to pass 100k this week. 😀

I got in an hour of writing before the day began yesterday, working on Hungry Gods and a short story. Then it was church followed by a birthday party. I’m hoping to do some serious writing output today. 🙂 I will leave a little time to edit today too.

Welcome back to Writer’s Life, where I share my exciting adventures from the day before… that I did.. that’s usually about being a writer…. or… EXCITEMENT FROM THE CHAIR!!!

So yesterday, I slept in until 6. I got up, wrote yesterdays, Writer’s Life, delivered mail all day, came home and crashed. I. Did Not. Write.  I didn’t even show up. On my spreadsheet, I have a big ole’ 0 on my word count. 😛

I’m okay with that. (deep breaths) I’ve got to realize there will be days that just don’t work out. (more deep breaths). Am I ashamed? I’m going to lie and say NO! I’m going to hold my chin up, and write some today. As punishment, I’m going to force myself to write 10k words for the next 5 days, Monday through Friday. I’d start punishing myself today, but I’ve got shit to do. But I can’t write about that until tomorrow, because I’m talking about yesterday.
