This is my work in progress list… and how I keep track of my word count.

Still fighting bronchitis and I have a new wound in my foot. I am attempting the pad challenge using the Fae Corps Publishing prompts. This year I have been unable to see anything from the writer’s digest prompts. I guess I am just not in the right place for them.

Are you doing the pad challenge this year ?

okay I am running late today. I am also fighting bronchitis. This weather has me sick.

I started a new theme volume. so I listed it on there but the only writing in it so far is the foreword. That explains the idea of the volume and the rules I want to use within it. I don’t normally add that to the count because it is a natural part of the process…but it is starting that volumes set up. it is another one focusing on specific forms.

I also found out why I was struggling to get The sea serpent to go forward and fixed it. so I got some words in it.

This week is an odd one. You will probably notice that the numbers have changed very little. That is because the writing was not something that I would list.

I wrote a new children’s book.

I wrote the outline for a story that I plan on writing soon but I didn’t actually write anything in the story yet.

I wrote stuff in emails for various reasons that kept my brain busy and away from my more creative adventures.

I wrote in my personal journal that is labeled as word vomit and will hopefully not see sunlight ever.

As you can see, none of them would end up on the list. The first one is completely written. this list is works in progress. the second one is only an idea at this point and not even started as far as I am concerned. the third is not creative at all. and the fourth is clearing the trash so I can write.

Some weeks are like this for me. These are the ones where I do more art or crafting because my brain has decided to be difficult when I try to write.

On the craft side…we decided to move my studio into the house to give me access to electricity and more space. This week I spent quite some time sorting and organizing the new craft room. My son moved everything inside for me (except for one table which we need to make space for first) And I have been sorting through and cleaning up my supplies. I will try to take pictures and post it when I get it done. Unfortunately, I have overdone. Which is frustrating and painful.

I know I wrote… but I can’t actually tell you how much I got done. This week was chaos. my birthday was fun and full of shenanigans. (no I will not be exposing them to the world) Those who need to know will … lol

I realized something though. I have forgotten the word for the year. I was supposed to be giving myself GRACE. What that means is though I have goals for the day I need to look at any writing and say I did good… I wrote something. no matter what.

I know I wrote… but I can’t actually tell you how much I got done. This week was chaos and sickness. thankfully my cough is slowing down. I was able to spend time with Joe on his birthday. and yesterday we had curry to celebrate the shared birthday month. First time trying goat curry. I enjoyed it thoroughly. (Nawab fine dining in Kanawha city, Wv. pricey but so worth it)

I will be hopefully able to get some writing in this week but since Friday is my birthday…I don’t guarantee that. I may be spending the day playing video games or reading my new books.
