I’d like to beat my chest and say I got screwed by the calendar, this week. Only, it’s my problem, because I didn’t look up and pay attention. I had a good week, word count wise. Not brilliant, but a good solid week: MONDAY 5,392 TUESDAY 7,721 WEDNESDAY 4,502 THURSDAY 7,946 FRIDAY 6,899 SATURDAY 4,936 SUNDAY […]

This week was a freaking disaster. I’m not sure what is worse: The blank wasteland of my week, or having to report upon it here. Both, I think. I have no genuine excuses. I’m not even sure it was Resistance beating me. It was simply a week of tiny excuses that were used to

It was a very solid week, this week. However, because I was plotting, I have no word counts to give you. I was plotting the second book in an historical series. Second books are always heavy-duty on the plot end, because while the basic series is set up in the first book, when I get

Last week was a good week, wordcount wise. I always like getting into the actual writing of a book, because it feels like real progress is being made.
