My goal daily word goal is 16001st day 1661 :)

2nd day 643 :oops:

3rd day ZERO :(   But several sketches of charactors made, plus one decent composition of Mayrah, Wind of Spring Flowers, touching down on a snowy mountain peak. Filled half a notebook with notes, while in bed.
Also swept, dusted, scrubbed and otherwise organised stamp sized apartment, and lage cache of art supplies, which incidentally is still short on blue markers!

4th day 2,900 words :)

Thanks to Cylithria, who helped me work through the momentary panic of being behind on my word count with such kind comments on my last post. I am calm in the face of being 1,899 words behind my daily goal. After all on the plus side have excellent crop of notes and sketches. My map is starting to fill out, in short the story is unfolding nicely.

When I think about it 1600 words really doesn’t amount to much, about four pages of typed single spaced lines of text set at size 12, times new roman (or 10 arial) font. I’m less worried about the count at this point. I know a good push and I can hit the daily goal, but just out of the gate I’ll pitch for quality and throw it into higher gear once I have a better image to draw from.

Also, Mercury is retrograde in my sign right now. I’m sure things will turn around once it goes back right side round. That’s about four days away.

  1. You are one hundred percent right – it will turn around and you will find your word count booming through the roof. Each novel is like a baby..first we feed and nurture it and then soon enough it blossoms and it’s brilliance fills our soul……keep feeding yours with all the sketches and notes just like you are ….it will come…. I have faith in you!!!! And in the story!!!
