45,519 words last week. I got the current book finished, plotted and rolled right into the next story. A blog post topped off the count. This is getting close to the type of productivity and consistency I’m aiming for. I’m not relaxing though. For the week coming up, I want to be as consistent, or […]

4475 words last week. Two factors keeping the count low: Start of the month, with bookkeeping and monthly marketing work took a couple of days out of the week. Also, our monthly grocery shopping, which is a half-day affair. Spent several of the days plotting the next book. I crunched it down as much as

Grand total of 3,835 words last week — which finished off the latest book (Number 9 for the year). It was not a good week. Distraction sideswiped me a few days. Running to doctors’ offices took up the rest, and worrying about my health filled in the gaps. But this is what happens with a

Came home from the ER late last night. Still recovering. More next week…but this is not a good week! t.

Total for the week: 16,612 words. I did sort of turn things around this week, as I spoke about in last week’s log. I finished book 8 of the year (that is, story 8 of my primary production schedule, which doesn’t include the secondary stories I’ve completed), but got bogged down in figuring out work

Total for the week: 13,111 words. Yugh. Terrible week. Not completely beyond redemption — hey, I got something written. But it was still a woeful week. I could point at a couple of things as excuses: new diet adjustments, new exercise regimen, energy in the toilet for most of it while I adjusted. But there’s

Total for the week: 28,231 words. A couple of wobbly days, but I finally got a handle on things by the end of the week. I’ve sorted out my schedule and what I need to do to get back on track. I reread Steven Pressfield’s classic The War of Art, which helped me reground. A

Total for the week: 0 words. When I wrote last week’s work log post, I had no idea what the week had in store for me. I plotted the next book on Monday. Tuesday, two of us in our household who qualified, age-wise, (and wow, that’s depressing), lined up for three hours to get AstraZeneca
Weekly Log – April 27: F*ck me. Read More »
Total for the week: 36,753 words. I finished the current novel, and plotted and wrote an 11K novelette last week. (Which brings me up to 9 novels/novellas/novelettes for the year.) This brought me up to date with my current schedule and takes a considerable amount of pressure off. Now I need to focus on hitting

Total for the week: 15,737 words. Not thrilled with this word count, but I’m still on track to meet the deadline for finishing the current book. My major focus is still consistency, (which is still eluding me) and I had some major insights on this during the week, that I’ll talk about in one of
