I'm hopeful for the coming weeks.

Hiatus

The reason is here.

Don't worry, Joey, I can do the last 60 pages before May 31. Somehow. Dunno when.

I wrote the final scene last night- couldn't sleep. I like having the last scene down- I know where I'm going.

I also did some calculations and spreadsheet tweaking, but no science actual writing- calcs got derailed when I realized I left some key numbers at work.

221 rough plotting, but I may have found a path to get from the middle to the end.

vomit draft respewed.

875 new, plus lots of tweaking.
first rehash of vomit draft. decent characterization improvement, better suspense and pacing...

about 100, lots of numbercrunching.

~150 of a paper.
Wasted way too much time on the web today.

1259.
And that is the end of act 2 (of 4).

Need more outline.

long weekends rule.

Only 303 for the week, but a lot of handwriting in the notbook, so hopefully I'll have some numbers for next week.

No words typed up today, but I index carded the first half of act 2, so I'm pretty happy about that.

303.

Finished draft of the paper reply: 1722. I realize I'm like a week behind, but science is hard.

no words, but I did put a figure together. Does that count as 1000?

07 plan

Here's the deal. I don't write well, or efficiently. Just about any career path from where I am right now requires me to do so. So, I need a praactical way to get myself into shape.

Last year, blogging probably helped, but it got to the point where it started surplanting worthwhile writing. So this year, I have a plan. Not too amitious, so it should be achievable.

The aim is 2000 words per week. Doesn't matter what, as long as it is a paper medium designed for public consumption. If it works, then I will have written 100k by the end of the year.

So far, though, all I have is this:
week 1: 0
week 2: 2291

50 weeks to go.

Well, as I'm sure y'all can figure, nanowrimo was a miserable failure. So, instead of jumping on an overly ambitious bandwagon, I'm going to have to find a better way of making myself write. more coming soon.
