This week, I'm celebrating my progress on book 3. I started writing on Monday at a friend's house, and was able to make quite a bit of progress--5000 words in 2 days. I don't think I'll be able to sustain that pace, but it was nice while it lasted. :-)
How was your week?
That's awesome and your right, it is fun when it just flows, but remember breaks will help when things slow down. I hate housework, but it's amazing the solutions to plot that come to me when cleaning toilets, and dusting the thousands of nick knacks I have around the house. After my re-writing marathon I actually enjoyed doing the mundane and my brain appreciated it too!
ReplyDeleteGreat reason to celebrate!
Thanks, Yolanda! I actually had a breakthrough while brushing my teeth last night. I always love it when that happens :)
DeleteWow! Congrats on starting off the new WIP with 5000 words. That's awesome! I'm still stuck on the characters for my new WIP and as usual haven't written a thing. But notes should arrive from my editor soon on the book coming out in Dec, so I'll have plenty to do. :-)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the rest while you still can :)
DeleteWow, 5000 words. I hope the rest goes as easily.
ReplyDeleteYou and me both! :)
Delete5000 words in two days is major!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! What a great start to the new WIP!

DeleteThat is awesome, Lara!!! Yay book 3 ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks, S.K.! :)
DeleteWow, now I feel jealous, hahaha. That's a really productive writing. But do not lose hope, maybe you keep that pace. :)
ReplyDeleteI've already slowed down, but maybe I'll have another spurt next week? :)
DeleteThat's terrific, babe! It's wonderful when it flows like that!
ReplyDeleteIt does feel nice :)
DeleteGreat for you for getting so much done in the beginning. It helps to know you have direction at the start. Enjoy your weekend! Writer’s Mark
ReplyDeleteThanks, Nancy! You too :)
DeleteHurrah to book progress, that's awesome!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Vik! :)
DeleteYay! That's great. Enjoy writing progress, no matter how many words it is :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Rebeccah! :)
Delete5,ooo words? While socializing? That's great - and I bet the friendship helped! That's worth celebrating, for certain! Well done!

The socializing only occurs during the pre-approved break periods, which really helps keep me focused. :)
DeleteYay for progress! I'm like you - if I don't have a thousand things going on, then nothing gets done. I also can't seem to write when there are others around and yet don't want to be by myself every evening. Ah, the twists and turns of procrastination...
ReplyDeleteI can understand that--writing is so solitary, it's nice to have company, but I don't want them to talk to me or anything :)
DeleteIt would be wonderful if you could maintain that pace. Have a great weekend.
