My goal was 1250 words a week and I went almost 1000 words over that. Yay for modest goals!

Keep it up for the rest of the month!<br /><br />I didn't meet my goal every day, but I did much better than I would have if I hadn't had the motivation! I wrote every day except for Friday, Saturday, and Tuesday, and that was mostly because of my busy schedule, so I'm relatively pleased. I think that May is going to be so much more productive for me now that I've set this goal.<br /><br />Tomorrow I won't be able to write because I'll be on a trip with my class, and my uncle is arriving from Brazil the next day, so we'll have to see how much writing I'll get in next week.

I'm dealing with the aftermath of the Climactic Fight, so my brainstorming mostly consists of "who goes where, who's in good enough shape to do what, can this happen with this number of people, and if it can't how do I bring in more..." It's feeling more like a logic problem than plot development. Right now I'm figuring out how they could make a temporary stretcher for a wounded man from things found at your ordinary inn.Phoenixgirlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4098049071459822748.post-59758758587119647212012-05-10T12:47:50.305-07:002012-05-10T12:47:50.305-07:00I haven't written anything this week.

I'm actually happy (maybe) because i haven't written for a LONG time so this is big for me! For week 2: write 300/400 words a day (3 days). And draw two pictures with ink (separately from my school assignments).

I think it's a great idea to switch writing methods - I often find that really helps me, just by allowing me to scribble without self-editing. Good luck!<br /><br />Bethany: Eeep! I feel your pain - when my (thankfully) rare migraines hit, I have much the same problem with concentrating on computer screens or even pages in a book. I hope you feel better soon!Zoë Marriotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01275368005359548134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4098049071459822748.post-75914184631351613072012-05-10T11:58:03.022-07:002012-05-10T11:58:03.022-07:00Well, I got off to a good start on my rewrite - es...Well, I got off to a good start on my rewrite - especially on the research end, but then Sunday, the nausea hit full force and I've been down for the count ever since. Just lookiing at the computer screen long enough to type this make me want to...you, know, run for the toilet. I always get the all day, all night version of morning sickness, and this time is unfortunately no different. But it is for a good reason, right? I'm thankful for this little one, in inspite of feeling hijacked. <br /><br />So I think my goal this month definitely needs to change. Instead of trying to do a chapter a week, my goal is to be happy if I get ANY writing or research done at all. Because come July, I will be in the second trimester, and I will feel like superwoman! And THEN the rewrite will fly.<br /><br />Good luck everyone!Bethany K. Dellinger, MFAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01673940626053126453noreply@blogger.com
