Breathless!

Thursday was a waste, Friday was productive...Saturday was PHENOMENAL! My family spent most of the day out and about without me. Although I missed them, I really felt like I had to write or go nuts. The story was THERE (not the vamp one, I'm still working on it) but a new/old one that I picked up on Friday. This story started out two weeks ago as a WICKED, it stalled, sputtered and died. Then, Thursday night, I started playing with my characters a bit (sounds kinky, huh?), and then began writing/rewriting on Friday. As I wrote, I realized that there isn't enough sex in this to qualify for a WICKED...but I have a tentative Lustbite slot for 16 June with Total E-bound that this might work for...

Working title: Breathless

Word count:



I have two scenes left to write...the continuation of the black moment and the final HEA/sex scene. I'm so close to being done I can almost taste it!

I'm hoping to write the final HEA scene on Monday~



And as of Monday, I'm done! I overshot my estimated word count by a bit...but that's okay, as 8K was just the minimum. Now, it's off to my CPs...

A wasted day...kind of

Yesterday was my wedding anniversary. I wasted the entire day reading my anniversary gift.

But, I'm back to work today, with a vengence. My morning writing finished off the scene, bringing my word count to:



I hope to be able to put in an hour this afternoon. I'm going to try two 20-minute writing challenges to see if I can use my time more productively (instead of checking my e-mail 100 times a day)

After the afternoon writing stint:



And I have one more chance today to drive up the words...tonight...so we'll see if I can break 3K today.

And I did it!

Totally Blew at Fast Draft

Yep...the harder I tried, the worse it got. The goal is 20 pages a day...I didn't even get my typical 500 WORDS a day. Bleh... Sick kids, family emergencies, friend emergencies, and a well-deserved girl's lunch out threw me off kilter. But despite my kids being home today from school (yet another emergency, but thank goodness it was the preschool's and not ours), I have managed to get 578 words cranked out. Not much...but it's a start and I finally have my characters. The even better thing about this is that I've got a slot reserved for the story at Total E-bound IF I get it finished by 31 March (I'm hoping to get it done well before then...barring emergencies!)



Instead of starting a whole new thread, I'll update today's word count here (2/20) --
