Yep… you read that right.

I just finished Saturday’s writing a few minutes ago, and I figured I’d go ahead and type up my weekly writing update before I call it a night.

Overall, I’m pleased with my progress. There were only two days where I didn’t write this week, like the week before. My focus isn’t a high daily word count. It’s a consistent, daily writing habit. I want to reach the point where a day feels wrong if I don’t write. I’m slowly getting there.

Once I’ve established that habit… then… I’ll start working on consistently high word counts.

If I would’ve started earlier this evening, I would’ve cracked 4,000 words again. But I was enjoying a good book that I didn’t write. In all truth, that book was what spurred me to write. Good stories (whether books, TV, or movies) are like that for me. They inspire me to write.

For whatever reason, The West Wing always made me want to write a Sci-Fi series idea that was a contemporary of Drakmoor. I haven’t started that one yet… at least not since I’ve become a professional novelist. I still like the story, though, and want to circle around to it eventually. A buddy of mine who doesn’t like to read wants to read that one… which means he’ll get signed hardcovers.  😁

Yeah… this is gonna be a short one. I really want to go to bed.

Hope the days treat you and yours well. Stay safe out there.
