New Year is approaching and I'm finding it harder to sit for long periods of time. The pain in my legs is getting hard to take so I tend to do my writing first and then blog as the last thing before I give my body a break.
Unfortunately that has meant no posts for the last few days - sorry about that.
Up to Christmas I managed to get Chapter 7 knocked off and reached my minimum goal of 2500 words leaving Newland at a touch over 15,000 words. Since Christmas I've only managed to write for fairly short periods of time resulting in the completion of Chapter 8 and I'm now two-thirds through Chapter 9. An extra 3267 words to this point. I should have added over 8,000 by the end of today so I'm a little behind schedule.
And now my little one is ill. Is it any wonder writers have difficulties in reaching word count goals...
So I'll write what I write and be happy the project is moving forward.
Time to finish Chapter 9 and hopefully manage to finish all of Chapter 10. That should see well over 20,000 words for Newland. If I can get Chapter 11 out tomorrow before party time, I should have just about reached 10,000 words in the five days I allowed myself.
Now I've just written over 200 words in this post alone so I'm wasting time. back to work I go...

hope everyone gets to feeling better. Good luck getting your goals done. I know I need all the luck I can get.
ReplyDeleteHope the little one is doing better. And the legs...that's rough.
ReplyDeleteAll the best in 09.
Thanks guys - the little one must have picked up a 24 hour thing and is now feeling much better.
ReplyDeleteThe legs are something new I need to get over. Back in 95 I blew a disc in my back. It took a while but I learned to live with it and get on with life, the legs are an extension of that (so to speak).
I just need to write in spurts - there are plenty of people worse off than me.
