5,998 words last week. Most of the week was taken up with plotting the next book, but not ALL of it. Tuesdays are still problematic because of shopping. I really think I may have to re-think how Tuesdays work. Maybe, treat them as a “weekend”, and use Saturday as a workday instead. Something. Also, over […]

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
