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.

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.
