Last week, I wrote 4,263 on the current book, and did a lot of production work, including writing all the interstitial material for the box set that has been suddenly dumped into the production schedule to make up for my lax ways. This coming week should see a heavy production of words on the current book, […]

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

My week was completely hijacked. By something that feels a lot like the grinning clown in the picture. In other words, a boogeyman that mainly lives in my head. My grand plan for the last week did not happen. Here’s what did — and I’m embarrassed to put this out in public: MONDAY

The “living well” part of the productive equation means that sometimes, you have to put aside writing in order to pay attention to important other stuff. That was my week, last week. My husband and I share the same birthday, which also happens to be the date we met and the date we got married

There is no such thing as a “typical” week. There’s the ideal average, but that’s something in your imagination, good only for measuring your progress against. So are word counts, which are the ultimate measure, proof against any argument. I had an atypical week, which by its very uniqueness is really a typical week.

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. Mostly, the speed is an illusion, because plotting just doesn’t have any benchmarks to show things are progressing–you can mull in your head for days and have

What I learned this week: If you can just hang in there, regroup and knuckle down, good things come. After the panic last week when we faced losing one of two monthly incomes, things have settled down a bit. We won’t be completely without income (insurance and vacation pay will fill in some
