• Thoughts: Still not feeling so great. I’m actually surprised I got any writing done at all. Today was supposed to be the first day of editing for Chapter Eight, but I couldn’t focus on that and worked on a new scene instead.
• Tomorrow’s goal: Work on editing.

• Thoughts: Finally got around to some editing today. Still not feeling so great. I’m blaming all of this on the weirdness of the holiday season this year.

January 1

No writing progress made. I had a wonderful holiday. We had pork and sauer kraut at my mom’s for luck. Over all it was a good day.

• Thoughts: Best writing day of the week so far! I finished editing Chapter Eight and posted it to the blog. Over all it was a great day progress-wise.
• Tomorrow’s goal: More writing! I’m feeling really good about The Dreams right now. I want to keep it going.

January 3

• Project: The Dreams
• Total word count: 83,365
• Today’s word count: 326
• Thoughts: I’m surprised I wrote so much. The scene I’m working on is outside of my comfort zone so I’m pretty excited about writing more than a few sentences before giving up. This scene is a special request for two of my Patrons. I hope they like it when they get to read it.
• Tomorrow’s goal: Keep working on this scene and hopefully finish it.

 

I’m pretty happy with my progress this week. Even with having a New Year’s Eve party at our place I managed to get a good bit of work done.

My goal for next week is to set a new standard for a normal week. I want 2016 to be a great year for writing. The only way to make that happen is to write and then write some more. I’m going to make it happen.
