Get Your Words Out ~ August 2010

August 30th, 2010

Another month, another word count. Again, I’m only counting words I’ve used in fictional works and not blogs. Not that I’ve blogged lately or anything.

On with it… August was pretty good, with a total of 24,019 words. This is thanks, mostly, to a new short(er) story that I wrote for Awesome August that was nearly 7000 words. otherwise my total would be far below 20,000.  I was pretty proud of that story, too.

This brings my total to 252,453 words for the year. Not bad at all. My goal of 300,000 is only about 47K words away.

I’ve been trying to think of a NaNo topic for this year… I can’t believe it’s coming up so fast. I mean, yeah it’s November, but I usually need time to plan and outline. I’m thinking that, instead of doing NaNo, I will push myself to finish both of my big pieces. And start something new in Jan 2011. Wow.

We’ll see. The minute I say I am going to do something I suddenly can’t do it.

Something New

Wow. I can’t even believe I did but I wrote something new. And it was short. And complete. Who am I??? And what have I done with the woman who writes 400,000 word stories and can’t finish them? Oh, wait. She’s still here.

Over at the fanfiction archive I thought [...] Continue Reading…

I decided, for the rest of the year, to ONLY count my fiction words. While my blog posts are important to me, I want to focus on my writing specifically to write, to [...] Continue Reading…

My Hero…

July 23rd, 2010

I’m kind of hoping he never sees this post… but the possibility that he could pick it up somewhere via the internet means I shouldn’t say things like ‘I never paid attention to him before’. Alas… Dave Holmes has been out of my memory for as long as MTV [...] Continue Reading…

Well hello, old friend…

July 15th, 2010

The weirdest thing has been happening, all week. Well, first of all, I’ve been writing. Which after such a dry spell is a great miracle. My latest entry of AIWD was so difficult to complete! I wrote the chapter three times and still didn’t really accomplish what I wanted [...] Continue Reading…

GYWO: Wordy June

June 30th, 2010

Hello all. Been a while since I blogged over here. I’d apologize, but it appears that I’ve been writing instead of blogging… which is totally fine with me!

It is month end, which means another update to my Get Your Words Out tally. Last month was a banner month for [...] Continue Reading…
