Thanks for stopping by and for the support over the past weeks! Just a reminder, here are the lovely ladies hosting this link up: Alison, Jamie, Katy, Erin, & Elodie.
Let's get right to it!
●How I did on last week’s goal(s):
I barely made my word count goal of 2500 words.
Here is the breakdown of my words per week.
Monday: 548 words
Tuesday: off
Wednesday: 737 words
Thursday: 469 words
Friday: 638 words
Saturday: off
Sunday: 175 words
TOTAL: 2567 words
●My goal(s) for this week:
I'm sticking to the 2500 words for the week again.
●A favorite line from my story OR a word or phrase that sums up what I wrote/revised:
Here's a little snippet, totally rough!!!
Here's a little snippet, totally rough!!!
“Late night?” There was hardness in his voice.
“Looks that way.” Gia really didn’t feel like talking to JR
right now. She kept her response short in hopes that he would saunter away and
leave her and her raging headache alone.
“So was Romann as good in bed as you were hoping for?”
Well I guess her wish wouldn’t be granted today. She decided
she was going to give him what he was asking for. “Even better than I could imagine. He’s so experienced, he could probably teach you a thing or two.”
●The biggest challenge I faced this week (ie finding time to write, getting sick, having writer’s block, etc):
I'm getting to the point in my story where I have written all of my scenes that I have mapped out so far. And I'm nowhere near being close to my goal of 80,000 words. Not sure if I should get through all my scenes now and hit that bump in the revision stage or really look at the story as a whole and figure out where to add some major subplots or what! GAH!
●Something I love about my WIP:
I probably sound like a broken record, but just getting the words in! I can't believe how far this story has come since I started this summer writing intensive. So awesome to see.

Have a great week!
Way to go on the word count! I love the excerpt- the last line made me laugh.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
Thank you! I'm glad that my excerpt made you laugh, makes me very happy!
DeleteGreat job making your word goals. I know it probably feels like dribs and drabs but you're making big progress :)
ReplyDeleteYes, dribs and drabs sounds exactly right. It is amazing though how much I've written even over these few weeks.
DeleteYou hit your goal and that's AWESOME! Love the snippet and I am so curious about your story! Good luck this week in meeting your goals!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you liked it! :D
DeleteI haven't really "labeled" my WIP yet, but it's leaning toward women's fiction, new adult, with a little sci fi and lots of romance!!
Way to go on meeting your word count goal! I'm so glad to hear you've had such a productive summer so far. Just read your response to Alison, and I have to say "a little sci fi and lots of romance" sounds awesome, as did your excerpt. My WIP/trilogy is sci-fi with lots of romance, so I'm partial. Good luck getting out another 2500 words this week! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Erin!
DeleteYou almost wrote every single day, that is AWESOME! And you reached your goal so I say you're doing great :) Really enjoyed the snippet. Would love to read the rest of their conversation :) Cheering you on! :)
ReplyDeleteYou know I didn't even realize that I wrote 5 of the 7 days, thanks for the encouragement!
DeleteThat was an interesting scene, snarky, I like. Good luck this week! You can do it. Also I hear you on the sub plots, you got this.
ReplyDeleteYes, definite snark, she is fed up with him but she still can't get enough of him! :)
DeleteGreat job with your word count goal! I'm in the same place as you...can't believe how much of my project has been drafted during this first third of RSW!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your goals this week!
I know right? It's crazy to look back at the progress and we still have a lot for RSW left, so yay!
DeleteYou also have a great week!
