We’re doing some technical updates and site maintenance this week that may result in interruptions and other difficulties. Rather than frustrate everyone (including me, as it affects my end as well as what’s online), I’m skipping the post this week. There will be SOMETHING writing-related next week, I promise, even if it has to be short.
So now you all have the time you would have spent reading my post to go work on your own stuff! How many words will you write this week?
How many words next week? Well, I was *supposed* to be taking a break before starting revisions on my next novel, but here I am 4k words into a new one! Oh well, they’ll all get done and out sometime.
I do some of them longhand so it’s hard to count.
Also, when I slow down I know it’s time to switch projects. (I have mastered circling around, fortunately.)
Plus, it’s hard to know how to count revisions.
I would be very happy to finalize the wording on the new query letter. For the bonus round, I’d be pleased to tweak that one bit in that one scene that is currently resisting tweaking. So… about five?
I’m revising right now, which means that I could wind up with a negative word count.
