Yep....my WICKED is done. I wrote 5000 words in 3 days and feel rather brain dead. Now it's out for crits so I can find out just how horrible it is! Eek!
And on to the next one...so much to write, and so little time

Siren Song (or Song of Seduction)
Or whatever the title ends up being is FINISHED! I typed THE END on the first draft earlier today.
I had a huge writing stint very early this morning (finished the big action scene at 2 am!). Then, while my hubby went to the hardware store with the boys this morning, I put in the HEA.
Wow...does it feel good to be done, although I loved writing this. The huge action scene is one of the scariest I've ever put together. I'm just hoping I did it justice. And the ending...oh my, I got shivers when it finally all fell into place.
And the final word count?
So....go me!
I'm going to start incorporating the edits that have drizzled in from one of my crit groups as well as start thinking about trying another WICKED? Do I dare?

THE END!
Yippeee....yahooooo!
At approximately midnight, I typed THE END at the bottom of Mojave Moon. It came in slightly over it's 20K goal (final word count was 21407!)
Now...what do I do??? Oh, that's right, crowbar a couple of sex scenes into my Valentine's tale by 15 December.
And, honestly, can I make that 1 January deadline for the EC submission? I'll have to think hard on that one (pun intended, snicker)

Here's to Long Showers
I've often told people that my muse is most active while I'm in the shower. My friend and fellow author, Tessa Dare, always asks what type of shower gel I use and where she can get it! Well, inspiration struck again today...in the shower, as always.
I've been plodding along with Mojave Moon, the writing has been "there"...it's just not been "THERE!"...Then, halfway through my shower this morning, I had a most wonderous idea. It was a simple switch the bad guy to "X" instead of "Y" ! Yowza! I plotted out the rest of the book this morning and it works. What's even greater is that all the clues I planted about "X" will now serve as a red herring...and the villian has been there all along.
So, I'm feeling a bit brilliant today.

The Bad and the Good
Yep...the whole holiday thing waylaid my writing...I got no words on paper, nope, nada.
This weekend will be a bit of a wash too...what with a soccer party, a baby shower for my friend, and "the kids" being home...
I'm hoping to get at least 100 words written in the hour I've crowbarred into my day for writing...
Hope all of you had a great holiday (for those who celebrate)...and hopefully you got more writing done than I did!
Update: My hour ended up being slightly longer than that...and I was able to get some good words written...still no "nookie" yet...that's the upcoming scene...

Today, I...
...wrote a big chunk of the synopsis for Unbridled. And though I didn't quite finish, as I was putting the Cornish hens in the oven, I had a mini-breakthrough and realized how the ending should go now. Woot.
Here's the meter:

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

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

What a Bust
Hey Emma congrats on finishing! My weekend was pretty much a bust. I got 2k done and that's it. No writing sunday. The freaking cable guy was here 12 hours.
Thank God he was cute!
Monday and Tuesday I pissed my days away with only a few pages here or there. Today I'm off, and seriously need to crank out about 4-5k. That means I've got 16 pages or so to go and I better get my ass in gear. Once the kids get home it's all a wash!

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!

Yeah Me!
Hey...what is 1000 or higher?
Ok I got my 11 pages in yesterday putting me at the 75 page mark. YEAH ME GO ME YEAH ME!! Oh and football is over. YEAHHHHHHHHHHHH YEAHHHHHHHH No fOOTBAlL
Ok so anyway today I'd like 10 more pages. I wrote yesterday until my fingers were literally tripping over themselves but I got some good stuff! Now if I can just remember to use the hero's pov. This writing in third person kinda sucks ya'll. hehehe
Okay can I say Okay anymore? LOL I have NO internet at home this weekend. I"m not on much in the evenings anyway but it'll be a bit easier to face the laptop knowing there's no temptation because my soon-to-be-ex cable company sucks my ass (buh-bye Roadrunner!). I have no new cable until November 4 and I really need to wrap up the first draft of this novella by Sunday because I have two more to write. I can easily see this one hitting over 100 pages though so we'll see.
It's also the boys birthday celebration weekend--someone save my ass from ice cream. If I forget to check in at the end of the day, Y'all have a good one!
