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!

Losing It...

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

Something WICKED this way comes...

My muse is working overtime...I just put Song of Seduction to bed and was facing a lovely day of working on my website (which I hope to have up by February), when I got an idea.

I didn't think it was going to work until I started on it this morning....1300 words into it, I think I can wrap this little package up in just over 5K and may even have it done by Friday. Woot, woot...

Then, I have to get cracking on the website AND the sequel to The Werewolf Whisperer...and....and....and..... So much to write, 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)

Finished!

With the synopsis, anyway.



Since I cut a little here and there to get it down from 1750 to about 1550 before I reached the end, I reckon I wrote a little over 500 words. Considering everything else I had to do today, not bad!

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!

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.

TGIF (am I the only one writing today?)

3,793 / 20,001 (19.0%)

Troddled off to the library today and got a nice burst of writing in (as well as checking out a few books to read). I was originally aiming for about 16500 words but after tackling this next scene, realized it's probably going to be a little longer than that -- maybe 20K. So, I adjusted my widget for that.

Trying this out

WOOT! I did it. Damn I have a long-ass way to go in the next month.

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!

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

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!
