Le sigh times two

Jackie warned me it would be extremely hard getting back on the horse after a prolonged abscene and like most things, she was right. I'm writing. Slooooowly but surely. I've started on another novella targeted at EC. I'll check in tomorrow. Hopefully I'll be further along.

Back in the saddle

Goals:
TBD - Due Date: n/a
I <3: - Due Date: February 14th
EC: - Due Date: March 1st

So best course of action I'm thinking is get I <3 done and polished since it's gonna take a tiny bit of research and it's something I've never written.

Then I think I can write the EC sub and TBD at the same time.

And away we go...

Vampire Oracle -


I'll check in again tonight or when I get back from my doctor's appointment tomorrow morning. I can do it!

Back to work....

Wow. My last check in was the 16th of November. And I haven't written a word since then. I could panic and berate myself for letting such a long length of time past but I don't my muse will appreciate that. I have 26 days until the year is up. If I write 1500 words a day it will total 39k.

My stories...



With these numbers and diligence I CAN get the last three stories done. Le sigh. It was a nice vacation but it's time to get back to work.

Done

So I got my Untitled story finished. It finished at 19,365.

I'm checking in.

My last check in was Wednesday, November 14th @ 12:24am, so I'm checking in a little less than 48 hours later.

I started with 13,389 and have 19,365 so that gives me a total of 5976 an average of 2988 per day. And a total of 13,181. WOOT! An average of 2197 per day.

Untitled - COMPLETE


Untitled - EDITS


And my SVEN up to date as of today


I'm thinking of today and tomorrow off and hoping back on the horse tomorrow. *shrugs* We'll see.

Quick Check In

I'm going to toot my own horn. I am proud of myself. I set a goal and I'm seeing it through. WOOT!

So I last checked in on the 12th at 2:32am. A little under 48 hours ago. When I check in last I was at 8365. I didnt set another goal but my ultimate goal was to have this story done by 11/14 and right now I'm at 13,389. 1611 words from finishing! WOOT! WOOT!

I started with 8365 so that gives me a total of 5024. WOOT WOOT! And average of 2512 per day!

And brings my handy dandy SVEN o METER to...

I plan on getting this sucker done tomorrow and polish till it shines and sent off by the due date! WOOT! WOOT!

Exhausted but damn it feels good...

I'm checking in twice tonight. I set a goal of getting to 8 or 9k tonight and I made it to 8365. I started at 6184 so that gives me a total of 2181. WOOT WOOT!

And brings my handy dandy SVEN o METER to...




Untitled


I've hit the halfway mark! Woot! Woot! Go Emma! Go Emma! I'll be by in the morning to encourage all of yall in the morning after I get some sleep!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr and SVEN check in. I HEART SVEN

Le sigh. Why am I stuck? Seriously. Okay so I'm going to watch The Simpsons and then turn the TV back off at 8:30pm and try it again.

Right now I'm at 6184 so since my last check in on Saturday at 3:49am and it's been less than 48 hours since my last check in.

Started off the Untitled project at 4012 and I'm now at 6184 for a total of 2172.
Untitled



I checked the numbers twice and hot damn came up with the same number both times.

Since the 4th of October until today I've written a total of 12,508. HOT m-f'ing DAMN! In a fricking week! A week! WOOT! WOOT! A total of 1787 per day. Damn Sven, do you know much I love you@

Doing what I gotta do...

Last check in was November 8th at 11:30pm.
11/09 (24)
11/10 (24)

48 hours have passed since my last check in. I had a tiny melt down but I put on my big girl panties and did what I had to do. I've been telling myself it comes how bad I want it. Well I want it more than a chubby kid at a fat camp wants a Snickers. (Mmmm...Snickers)

Anywho lets get to it. The New Life project hasnt moved as much as the Untitled project but here are the numbers.

Started off with New Life at 1849 and I'm now at 2032 for a total of 183.
New Life


Started off the Untitled project at 756 and I'm now at 4012 for a total of 3256.
Untitled


3256 + 183 = 3439

An average of 1720 per day. Whew! I'm gonna sleep a little while and get back to it in a couple of hours.

Ooh you may have seen the word count has changed for the Untitled project, right now I don't know that word count is going to be so it may change from time to time. I need to get the story done by the 14th no later than 15th so I could get it polished and submitted by the 17th.

It's like crack...

So I have NEVER started a story right after finishing one. But not only did I start another story, I've started two. That's right folks, writing has become my crack.

New Life



I started off with New Life at 1106 so I wrote a total of 743.
I started at 9 with the new untitled project so I wrote a total of 756.

Total = 1499

Thank GOD it's done...

At 25,115 words ROP is DONE! Sweet Jebus typing the end was better than an O. Okay, so it wasn't better than an O but it was a pretty close four hundredth.

This story pushed every boundary I had and features my very first semi what what scene.

So let's do a count, from the last time I checked in on the Tuesday the 6th at 2:49 am I have done a total of 2921 words. *faints*

So from October 31st, I've written a total of 10,336 an average of 1477 per day.

Whew. Go me! So I get 24 hours from the time this is posted to rest and recuperate before I hit the next story! Hope everyone else is out there rocking!

So very, very, very close!

I have 2806 words left. So close and yet so far. I should be done by tomorrow if I get up early enough and then it's edit time.

This story has pushed me in every way imaginable but I'd like to think I'm a better writer for it. :-)

Last time I checked in on Sunday, November 4th I was at 18753 so I've written a total of 3441 so that 2 almost 3k should be snap! Go Emma! It's your birthday! Go Emma

Keep it moving...

I hate this story.
Okay. So maybe I don't hate it, hate it. But it's on my list.

So I started with 17155 and ended with 18753. A total of 1598 not including the huge chunk I cut because it was a little...I could say vulgar but I'm not exactly un-okay with vulgar so I'll just say it was unnecessary and didnt move the story along.

I haven't been to sleep yet. So I'm going to sleep until about 10 or 11 amd get to it. I'll check in by midnight and hopefully this damn thing will be done.

Here we go...

This is my post from October 31st and for some reason I forgot to publish it. Le sigh. Okay so today is November 3rd @ 12:16am and I am at 17155. My original word count was 17k but I've gone past that and this book is only about 2/4ths done. Le sigh. Le sigh. Super, super le sigh.

So since the 27th I've written a total of 4515, an average of 645 a day. 5 workd under my goal.

Today: I wrote 2350.

I'll check in tomorrow.

So I'm thinking the projected word count may be 25k. We'll see.

It's 11:02pm on October 31st. A day after I was supposed to check in.

My word count right now is 14,779. I started at 12,641. So it's a total of 2138 an average of 534 words per day. Le sigh. Come on Emma. Get it together. Tomorow I'm logging off of the internet. If I was brave enough (which I'm totally not) I would uninstall Yahoo i.m.

Instead I'm going to follow my own damn advice and get some discipline. If I can do it with one of my great loves (food) I have do it with the love of my life, writing.

Wish me luck. Call me names. Harrass me. Any little thing helps.

Goal 10k by 10/30

Goal 10k by 10/30

Word Count as of 10/27 = 12,641

Goal for 10/27 = 2500 words
Made Goal?

Goal for 10/28 = 2500 words
Made Goal?

Goal for 10/29 = 2500 words
Made Goal?

Goal for 10/30 = 2500 words
Made Goal?

I'm hoping this book will be complete if I do another 10k. And since I have other project I have to work on I can't drag this out any longer and have to really kick some ass. So wish me luck.

p.s. I'll only be online to check in once and I will. No Yahoo! Instant Messager, Dear Author, or any other time suckers. Call me if you need me.

A better day

I could not, COULD NOT go to sleep until I wrote something. So that explains why I'm posting this at 4:26 in the AM.

I did so much better than I had since my last entry on the 23rd. I didn't report in on the 24th but I'm reporting in today with 2151! WOOT! WOOT!

So that brings me to...



Hopefully after a few hours sleep I'll have some more to report!

Emma's trucking along...

Reign O' Pleasure (aka Reign of Pleasure) is now at 10,310 and counting. I've decided to record each day I write here no matter how many words I've written.

Sven started last Sunday and I didn't keep track the first 3 days of how much I wrote but from the 17th until yesterday I wrote a total of 3360 words which averages to about 915 per day, technically meeting my 750 a day word count.

But I'm still not satisfied. So today I'm turning off the instant messager (if you need me, call me) and writing whatever feels right. I'm almost 11k in and the hero and heroine still haven't got it on yet. Not that that's a bad thing, it's just that them getting it on is sorta crucial to the plot. Can't get knocked up without getting it on.

So I hope everyone else is doing well! Happy Sunday! Happy Writing!

I didnt write yesterday...

I didn't write yesterday. Danielo's Undoing was released yesterday and I pimped it like my name was Heidi Fleiss. So it's the weekend and usually I take it off but not this weekend. I'm not going to specify a goal, I'm just going to write until I can't write anymore...

Right now I'm at 9462 and to be perfectly honest I don't know where this book will end...All I can do is get on it!

Emma's Goal for October 18, 2007

I am at 8050 and I've realized this is not going to be a 10k novella as I thought. The story is no where near finished and I don't want to prematurely rush it to a finish and ruin it. So I'll continue to write until it's complete.

My goal for today, October 18, 2007 is 1950 words or higher. I'll check in by midnight.
