Two Projects at Once

Yet another "duh" moment....

I have the second draft of an exciting novella that I MUST get finished soon (both adding scenes and subtracting meandering fluff)...and I also have a new project I also MUST get done soon.

So....I'm going to adopt a writing schedule (unheard of for me).

I'm going to work alternating days on both Unleashed and Crisscross

Unleashed


Crisscross

Slow but Steady

Well, not near the word count I was hoping for, but still, it's something.

According to Matthew


No hard and fast goal today. My only goal is to write.

Everyone's so quiet. It must be the holidays!

New Project

Ah, the excitement! I wrote the opening of the next story in the Gospel series longhand while I was at the Science Center with the kids yesterday. Got it typed up this morning and I really like it so far.

I have to admit, I'm still kind of feeling my way through the plot, so it's hard to guess at the final word count. For now, I'm thinking 25K, but that could shift a few thousand words in either direction before I write THE END.

According to Matthew


Today, I'd like to write at least 1,000 words, although with the kids home and the weather looking icky, it's not looking all that likely.

I Did It!

I submitted According to Luke to Cobblestone. Gulp! Somehow, I'm way more nervous about this one than I was about my first.

Haven't written a word the past two days other than edits. I'm getting antsy. Time to start writing again soon, I guess!

I got something done!

Yay! You know, this month is turning out to be totally slow... as far as my productivity goes.

I've been struck by a brand new and very shiny (okay, it's actually quite dark) idea that has a choke-hold on me. I've been researching and daydreaming about it for days now. Still, I put aside yesterday to finish off a different story.

My redemption story - yeah, that's its name at the moment - is now done and has a word count of 18,023. I'm hoping to sub it sometime this week. Wish me luck.

Happy writing guys!
