A Slow Day On The Fiction Front

I did not hit the target that I had set myself today and it’s a tad annoying because I just couldn’t get going.  I did get some good writing done, but not as much as I had wanted but I’d rather write 1100 hundred good words then 2000 words, with 900 dodgy ones.

This project that we’re working on has a lot of strength to it and it’s expanding nicely now.  I was thinking that we would add about 5000 words to the original 15000, but as I’m writing it I think it’s going to be bigger.  With the progress that we’ve made so far I do think that it could hit about the 30000 word mark.  We’re just finding so much depth to add to not only the universe but the individual characters too.

I’m going to properly crack on with this week and try to get on a roll.   I’ll have this draft done by the end of February 🙂

I am a writer living in merry old England. I don't earn a living from writing so work in a supermarket, which I love! But my passion is writing. I'm a much happier human being when I'm being productive and nothing feels better than getting stories finished. This is a blog I write mainly for myself, but I appreciate each and every view, like, and comment my posts receive. Mostly what I will be posting is a sort of writing journal, detailing my progress. I don't hold back. If I've had a bad day, I'll say so. I'm not going to sugar coat what my journey is. I will share my highs and lows. I'm not just going to talk about writing, I'll occasionally talk about other things from movies to my personal life. There are things that I will not be talking about, we all have parts of us we wish to remain private. I'm no different. Trust me, I am not an expert in any field at all and will no doubt ramble a lot, but that's what you'll all come to love about me!

  1. I have found myself stuck too. I have the words the idea but I am missing the glue. And, I am best at the glue. I am known for the glue… CRAP 😀 Sometimes you have to write some dodgy words to get them on paper so you can sort through them and find the ones that make the biggest impact in the best places… So, this is what I am about to do… Write a bunch of whatever that includes my main points and hope that these words will be the base for an activator to make one strong epoxy.

    I have no idea why I am on a glue kick! I swear I have never eaten it 😉

  2. I think I had the glue yesterday as well as the ideas, but it was just one of those days where I was struggling to put words on paper, well computer screen lol.
    There’s a writer who called Mur Lafferty who is really big in the Podcast community and one of her favourite sayings is ‘Its okay to suck.’
    My plan is to get back into NaNo mode and just write! 🙂
