Word Count Wednesday 21 Jul

Good morning. Yes, it’s that time of the week again. How have you been getting on?

I thought I was going to have a zero but an idea popped into my brain yesterday afternoon so I’m pleased to report 1,029 words. It isn’t the collaboration project – no more added to that but it’s in a good state to continue and my collaborator to add his sections to, so that’s hopefully what we’ll be doing next week. I’m also ahead of schedule for work work editing so hopefully more time for writing.

Good morning. Yes, it’s that time of the week again. How have you been getting on?

I’ve been finalising the initial phase of a new collaboration project and we’re good to go. We have nearly 9,000 words done, although most of that was my partner in crime (writing)’s. I’ve written more than this week’s (last Wednesday to last night) word count of 160 but chopped a fair amount of the original chapters so the total is that. I’m really happy with where it’s at so it’s up to us now to write our parts (me the wife, him the husband). Neither of us are planners but we needed a form of structure and idea where we were going. I think we have that now so it’ll be fun seeing where it leads us from here.

I’m delighted to say I don’t have zero this week. Yay. I’ve been going through the collaboration project (more about that in/over the next few weeks). And… <drum roll> I’ve been taking more out than adding so have a -28 this week. 🙂

A big fat (lockdown puppy fat) zero from me this week but I should have the day tomorrow to write. Ah yes, the old ‘should’. If I had a pound…

Good morning. Yes, it’s that time of the week again. How have you been getting on?

I have a measly 384 words this past week (last Wednesday to last night). Again work deadlines have meant few windows of opportunity although I admit that when the day job is editing novels, it’s very busman’s holiday to then do any writing. I could have. Should have. ‘Good effort’ as I was told (too) often at school. More like ‘must try harder’.

I’ve been continuing with my collaboration project in between work deadlines so have less than I wanted (754 words) this past week (last Wednesday to last night) but that’s okay. I’m hopeful for a better word count next week. I’ll let you know.

Word Count Wednesday 9 Jun

Good morning. Yes, it’s that time of the week again. How have you been getting on?

I’ve been cracking on with a collaboration crime novel project and have written 1,008 words this past week (last Wednesday to last night). Not a lot, I know, but it was in one go, yesterday afternoon, so could have been worse.

Crazy busy with (some unanticipated) work so it’s a zero word count from me this past week (last Wednesday to last night) but it’s okay as my writing buddy and I are planning a crime novel collaboration project so next week’s will likely consist of planning notes rather than content writing. #watchthisspace

Another collaboration prompt, this time writing half (one of the two characters) on a date, or more accurately my character waiting for someone who’s late – which my collaborator is writing. 🙂 Done and fairly dusty (dusted) in 984 words.

Another collaborative project – writing our own stories but on the same theme, this time ‘stolen from a thief’, which brought back Rick from my novella ‘After Jessica‘ (free on Kindle!) and a total word count of 1,379, which isn’t bad as I wrote most of it last night.
