Total for the week: 22,308 words. It was an okay week. One of the days was used for plotting and another for post-production on the book I finished this week (which is book #1 for the year)–I spent a day of writing time doing the clean up of the book I finished so I could

As I write this post, I’m looking back at a week of writing that just didn’t happen. Oh, I got a few words down, and I have been focused upon getting the writing done, including a new switch up in routine to keep it fresh. But the first half of the week was a disaster.

Total for the week: 15,273 words. It’s time to call bullshit on “getting there”, because for some reason, I’m just not. I can’t–yet–figure out why I’m not getting the words down, either. But this coming week had better see some serious mileage or I’m in trouble. So. t.

Total for the week: 22,829 words. It was not as much as I would have liked, word-count wise. But it was the start of the book, which is always slow. Onward. t.

I skipped the work log post last week because I had nothing to report and I was moving at Mach 10 with my hair on fire. I put in very little time on the current book (I’m plotting/world building/series building), as Christmas and New Year preparations and celebrations distracted me (and so did several gifts’

Weekly Log – December 22, 2020: Another solid week Last week’s combined word count: 0 words. I’m starting a new series, so not only do I need to plot the first book, but I also have to world build (it’s SF), and build the series arc, too. It’ll take a bit to get to the

Last week’s combined word count: 23,715 words. Another really good week, notwithstanding a family crisis. Actually, I think writing helped pull me through the crisis, which is a change for me. It’s usually eating crap that does that. I finished book 1 of 2021, and got nearly all the post-production done on Book 2 of 2021,

Queen Elizabeth II called 1992 her “Annus Horribilis”. She had endured the collapse of three of her children’s marriages (Anne, Andrew and Charles), a fire that burned down part of Windsor Castle, and other extraordinary stresses. Many people ascribe the invention of the Latin phrase to the Queen, but in fact it was the Roman

Last week’s combined word count: 25,485 words. It was a very solid week, last week. I finished plotting mid-week, and on the same day rolled into writing the book that will end up being book #1 for 2021. Then I had the very distinct and satisfying pleasure of taking the weekend off. The task, now,

This post is a bit of an outlier, although it does have some relevance to productivity and prolificacy. I read Advantage: Harnessing Cumulative Advantage In The Winner Takes All Publishing Market in one sitting. It’s dense. It has charts and graphs and footnotes. It is not prescriptive (you have to deconstruct it carefully to figure
