The Morning After
Once again, the holidays are over.
Last week I wrote less than two thousand words in my WIP. Very sad. This week things are going to be different.
Now that Easter has passed (and it's spring break for some) what are your plans? Do you think you'll be able to zip along with your writing?

Today the girls are still off school for Easter Monday, so not much will get done in the writing arena of my life. Friday I leave with my mom for a women's retreat, so that will mostly be a write-off as well. So I guess I better really work hard Tues to Thursday to get my count in.
Last week was bad for me too. Must have been in the cyber air.
I hope you have a nice day today with your girls. :-) Maybe some horseback riding? A women's retreat sounds awesome. I hope you get your wordage in though. Have a great week!
It is kind of weird how the story ebbs and flows, as well as our motivation. Here's to you and me pounding away at the keyboard this week! :-)
This week I'm shooting for my usual desired 5,000. We'll see if I make that!! ... but then there's rock climbing and that always consumes my time on the weekends. Perhaps I should pray for rain! :)
how many words are you shooting for, Jessica?
I shoot for 1000 words a day. We'll see if it happens. LOL
Good luck on your goals!
I'm hoping to keep up the pace of two chapters a week (they're short chapters) then maybe by the time I email my agent at the first of May, I'll be a quarter of the way in on my WIP. It's always nice to have something to report from my end.
Oh, and I just now watched the link you hooked up for yesterday's post. NICE. That's My King, too. :-)
Have a great day, and good luck on the wordage!
You homeschool? My hat is off to anyone who does that. I've thought about it but confess to being completely intimidated. LOL
We'll have to compare notes later and see if we made our wordage. :-)
Isn't that video awesome? Sometimes they play it in church and it just gives me chills.
Well...
I always have big plans. This week's include finishing revising 3 chapters of my new book to send to the Write to Publish conference for eval.

I plan on going through feedback this week and will start making edits and rewrites to my novel.
Hope your writing goes well!
Well, the pace doesn't really matter. Just the end product. So if it's laborious, in a way that's a good thing because it means you're working hard at creating the best story possible.
Edits and rewrites. Sigh. I have those too, piled up on my hard drive. I hope my writing goes good too. :-)
Glad your weekend went well and I hope you get some great writing done this week. :-)
So, the best I can do now is just write and hope that I figure it out in the process--even though it pains me greatly not to have some sort of an outline :P
Don't worry. It'll come to you. You might even be able to change a past thread which could affect the entire outcome of your story.
Whoa, it pains you to NOT have an outline? LOL It pains me to even think of one. :-)
Some people refer to spring break as spring cleaning, you know. LOL I hope it goes quickly for you.
No writing "plans" for me, but you've got me thinking I should be considering another book. Nah. I'll let God come up with the idea. He did just fine with the first two! *grin*
