Day 4: 5 August 2021

Today was a Life Errands day, I’m afraid. Part of me thinks it would be perfect if I could just sit at my computer and write, but the more aware parts of me know that would not be healthy in any sense of the word. So, I run my life errands.   Daily Word...

Day 3: 4 August 2021

Day 3: 4 August 2021 Well, I did better today than I did yesterday, but as Grimlock would say, “Not more better enough.” I had to hop to a different project this evening, just to clear my head.  “What comes next” was proving a bit elusive on my...

Day 2: 3 August 2021

I realized I forgot to update my progress last night. Whoops… I don’t know if it was the storm activity in the area yesterday or if I need to re-visit the chiropractor, but my back was trying to act up again most of the day, which made for some challenges....

Day 1, Redux: 2 August 2021

Day 1: 2 August 2021 I feel deja vu, all over again.  😝 Today was a good start to the refreshed challenge. Life did try to get in the way a little bit, but I made excellent progress overall. It feels good to be writing again. It also feels good to have fun writing...

2021 Goal Reset

Well, here we are… July 31st. I did not meet my goal for July. Not at all. I’m afraid I did not account for the possibility of a chronic back issue flaring up and making it almost impossible for me to sit in a chair, the last two-ish weeks. But...

Day 10: 15 July 2021

Day 10… This is starting to look more like a chronicle of how I’m not writing. I am (I think) halfway through the business paperwork I had allowed to build up. Yes, I know…bad business owner. The nature of my personality, though, is...

Day 9: 14 July 2021

Day 9… “Let’s see how many words I put down tomorrow.” Ha! Famous last words! I spent something like eleven (11) to twelve (12) hours yesterday on publishing company paperwork that I had allowed to slide by the wayside. It made for a rather...

Day 8: 13 July 2021

Day 8! “Lost” another day to life stuff and clearing my head. But…the bright side is that I think I’ve finally gotten rid of the mental fallout from putting “Fires” together. It’s time to write The Fall of Skullkeep....

Day 7: 12 July 2021

Day 7 of my journey toward 1.5 million words of new fiction… Well, I’m afraid I lost the day to business work and life stuff. No new words. Daily Word Count: 0 Monthly Word Count: 22,479 Total Words in 2021:...

Day 6: 11 July 2021

When I wrote that I wanted to set a new monthly record today, I wasn’t processing that ‘today’ is Sunday. Sundays are never a prime writing day for me; there is simply too much going on. Plus, it’s good to have that one day with...
