Meeting my goal for the week

August 26, 2010 (originally posted on LiveJournal)



Having fits with the internet connection but it's working for the time being. I'm meeting the writing goal I set for myself this week. Been concentrating on one story instead of altrnating, but I'm almost finished with my fifth chapter of this week.....the second since I posted last about wanting to finish at least two more chapters. In the last two days I've topped 4068 words on the two chapters, one of which I'm not actually finished with. Not totally impressive, but a good run for me since part of the time was taken up with working, then a few hours sleep, then an overnight clean fest. I feel like I've accomplished something with that total.

It sure beats the weeks I don't do any writing!

But beyond the past two days writing, my total for the week and all the cahps I've written this week: 9,015.

Still not an extremely impressive number for almost five chapters, but I'm satisfied with it. Some of the time was taken up with re-reading and editing the work, and the time and effort that takes can't be measured in numbers, yet it's completely necessary.

Here's to hoping the internet continues to hold out! I think I'll start posting some of the chapters Of Little Boy Blue on my Halfcent's site, maybe tonight or tomorrow. It's kind of a test to determine the traffic and readership to the site, which I'm sure is nothing, but maybe posting my fics there before the ff sites will draw some of my readers there.

We shall see, I suppose!"
