Another 1800 = Word Count at 4%

I added another 1800 words to my manuscript this week. I've been working on the outline, but that doesn't count as real writing in my book. The chapter isn't done yet, but I won't have anytime to work on it anymore before it's due tonight for my writing group, The Bartlebys. I'm going to finish the chapter with another 1000 words or so on Monday and then move on to the chapter 3.

Word Count at 2%

As of the time of this posting, I currently have 2561 words written which is roughly 2% of my goal. I would have had more, but I threw away a thousand words because it ended up being trying to do too much in too short of a space with it. No need for exposition dump.

I joined a writing group recently, and we have a goal of writing 3k to 5k words a week. This week, including the notes I took and the stuff I threw out, I wrote a little more than 4k words, but the only words that really matter are the ones that end up in the novel.

Starting Up Again

I took a long break from writing on my novel because of the craziness I put myself through with school, assistant directing and acting in a musical, working on Warp and Weave, and graduating. I don't recommend that to anyone.

However, I am back and am working on my titleless fantasy novel. My goal is to reach 100,000 words with this novel and right now I have a little more than 600.
