Word Count Wednesday 14 Apr

Morning. Yes, it’s that time of the week again.

I’ve been good and have written 1,002 words this past week (last Wednesday to last night, actually Sunday morning). Hoorah!

The 1,000 was the result of a prompt that an editor/writer friend and I are doing as a writeathon – c.1,000 words every week. The other two is the start of next Sunday’s – different prompts each week.

Word Count Wednesday 7 Apr

Good morning. Yes, it’s that time of the week again.

After a not-bad result last week I’m back to zero. I ended up taking the Easter weekend off from any kind of work but for this Sunday my friend and I will be swapping the pieces we wrote on our first weekend and continuing the other person’s story(!) so I’ll let you know how we got on.

Good morning. Yes, it’s that time of the week again.

I’m delighted to say that I have been writing! A friend and I have started a Sunday morning writeathon where we aim to write 1,000+ words and we did, albeit a mere 54 over that for me. He’s also an editor so we’ve swapped and critiqued each other’s, and we’re still speaking to each other. So I hope to have something around that cliched ball park if not more in future weeks.

Good morning. Yes, it’s that time of the week again and yes, another zero. But…

I have a plan. A cunning plan, Blackadder. I have a new someone in my life who is also a writer (and whose day job is editing for a publisher!) so we’re going to have Sunday writeathons where we spend the morning writing then swap masterpieces which we edit. He has the same problem; where he’s felt uninspired to write so we’re making each other do so. I’ll let you know next Wednesday how we got on… and if we’re still speaking to each other. 🙂

Good morning. Yes, it’s that time of the week again.

No surprise, I’m sure, that I have another zero this week. I’m optimistic – watch this space – that this will change, for the better, in the next few weeks. 🙂

Good morning. Yes, it’s that time of the week again.

It’ll come as no surprise that it’s another zero this week. Procrastination at its finest. I’ve had lodgers (paying housemates) on and off for many years  and the last one left late last year. I’ve been getting the house how I want it (new-to-me furniture). Fun but so not productive. And of course, I still have the day job so… Fingers crossed for next week. Or they would be if they weren’t so busy. 🙂

Word Count Wednesday 3 Mar

Good morning. Yes, it’s that time of the week… again.

Another busy week with one thing (work) and another (mostly work) and it’s going to be that way until the end of April. That’s good though as it means lots of people are writing novels, submitting to my publisher, getting them accepted (always good) and along the way they come to me. I pull them apart, say a lot of good things about them, and send them back. 🙂 It’s no excuse, I know. I could find time to write. All good intentions…

If you submitted one or more stories to my 100-word competition in January I hope to have the results this week/end.

Good morning. Yes, it’s that time of the week again.

Another editing week so zero but that’s okay. I have a busy couple of months ahead, work wise, but that’s okay too. I’ve been invited to contribute a couple of Christmas stories to a charity anthology (deadline August but it’ll be here before we know it) so that’ll be a good excuse to write something new.

Good morning. Yes, it’s Wednesday again.

Another week of editing so a zero for me but that’s okay. I have ideas for new projects so they’ll wait for me (only because I’ve written them down!).

Good morning. Yes, it’s that time of the week again.

Another busy week so zero word count but that’s okay. I’m more focused than I have been for a while and know I’ll get back into writing once I’ve gone through what I’ve written previously, especially my serial killer novel. I am one for writing, doing nothing with it and moving on, so time I went back through the archives. 🙂
