Hit the 40K Mark

I need some help at the end of this post if you are an Android user. I did about 600 words today. I finally broke the 40K barrier which feels good. I had to do quite a bit of looping today but all is good and the novel is humming along. I just have to accept that my...

Barely There!!!

1726 words. I’m just shy of 40,000 and I will get there tonight. Pretty good day today considering I had to prepare for another speaking engagement tomorrow. I’m looking forward to this time tomorrow, where I’ll have some blue skies for a change. Have a good night....

Here We Go Again

About 900-ish words today. I’m back at it, but some interesting things happened while I was away. First, I hurt my back. It went out again and yesterday was pretty rough. Couldn’t really concentrate, so I focused on reading and consuming content. And boy did I come up...

Weak Day Today

115 words. Life happened today but I did make some progress with looping and such. Be back tomorrow. I’ve got an international conference call at 6AM so hopefully will get a good writing session in just before work. Have a good night.

Back on the Horse

1500ish words. I’m back on the horse, but it’s galloping slowly. I attacked my current chapter throughout the day and finally got it done. I also finally got the new character I introduced synced up with the narrative. I had to do quite a bit of looping to make sure...

Another Tough Day

Spent the day planning for another talk tomorrow morning. I got nothing for you tonight but hopefully I’ll get back on the horse tomorrow. Given how intense this week was, I may extend Beast Mode an extra week. Again, this was all planned and accounted for, but I have...

Wow am I Tired

0 words again. I knew I’d take a hit today because I taught a workshop for Writer’s Digest. 4.5 hours on self-publishing. The course went very well and I debuted a new teaching style that worked so well I plan on bringing it to the YouTube channel. I have another...

Life Happened Today

Somewhere around 300-400 words today. The good news is that I did break 35,000 yesterday. However, my day got derailed with feedback for my new writing app tool that ate up my day. We’re almost to the finish line but it took almost all day to get there. If you’re...

Yeah, Baby

2804 words today. Today was a very good writing day. I finished 2.5 chapters today, so I definitely progressed the story, even though it doesn’t feel like it. I’m sitting at just shy of 35,000 words, which is a great number, which is around the 58% mark if the novel...

More Progress, No Progress

0 words again. Major bummer, but my Writer’s Digest presentations are almost there. I’m feeling really good about them. I also recorded an interview with Marty Dalrymple of the Indy Author Podcast. I’ll share when that goes live. We talked about what drove me to end...
