Yes, it feels good to be back in the saddle and glad to see others here too... I have missed this!

“Have tried to start another project, but it's not calculating up... and showing as a continuation of the first project. Is that the way it is?” – ChapelWitch

“It says there are 'no entries for this project'. And doesn't show an end date...” – ChapelWitch

“I think mine are adding into the new project (but I refreshed the page and I think that fixed it?) And - good wording!” – Rachael

Created a project: Witchblood

Haven't made my target, but so happy to have rebooted the discipline needed to get there, which I will. I'm going to miss you all and this community so much! Many thanks to Craig for setting it up and providing the space for our writing to move in the right direction... onwards and upwards. Take care, everyone and wishing you all the success you desire and deserve with your words and books!

Okay, this is my pace. Another 200 words would be a sustainable amount, so I plan to come back with those before the day's out...

I've resigned myself to being a slow and deliberate first drafter! Maybe dictation might be the answer, and having the time to practice when I have more of it will be a good idea.

“You've got this!” – Denise Schuh

“1,300 words a day is not slow. I'd not be so diligent I suspect without the challenge!” – PhilipVE

“Understand the pace that works best for you and plan accordingly.” – Craig

“That's not slow, that is a good day!” – mwigington

A good day in the office. Yes, it's taken most of the day... but it's been a total immersion. I have songs that weave themselves into the story, so that slows things down on one level, as I write them... but pushes it forward on another. Always brings me joy!

“I love that you weave in songs <3” – PegB

“Wow, that's impressive. I can't imagine writing a song to weave into a story while writing the story. Just as well really as I can't sing a note!” – PhilipVE

“I've always wanted to weave songs into my stories. Love this.” – catbanks

“Writing should bring every author joy. That's how it works best.” – Craig

“Great job in incorporating song into your story.” – Rob Kelley 42

“immersion for you also equals immersion for the reader. love it” – Rafa

It's taken most of the day to recall the lost words of yesterday, but it's done. Hey, sometimes you have to take a step back before moving ahead. Grist to the mill.

“Its painful having to recreate lost words! I have been there. Still, you have made up the lost ground now.” – ChrisH

“Glad you managed to get them rewritten!” – John M

“This is the mark of a true writer: not backing away from the daunting task of redoing the work you already did once. Well done!” – Joanna Maciejewska

I had just totted up my word count, put a scene break in to finish and for some reason the software crashed. Lost half the words for today's session... argh! Thankfully I had the total count which I'm including here because I did them. I can't face redoing them again now. Back to the drawing board tomorrow. Have made notes to remind me.

“I'm sorry your software crashed!” – Denise Schuh

“Ack. So sorry :(” – PegB

“That sucks! Glad you were able to salvage some words.” – Rafa

A lot of daydreaming today, but it's a dreamy part of the story... and it's part of the process. I can't imagine the words coming any other way!

“Sometimes the best ideas come from the daydreams!” – Denise Schuh

“Yup, I daydream as I write, seems to be how I solve plot problems.” – PhilipVE

“It IS part of the process. Amen to that!” – RedWritesBooks

“One of the most enjoyable parts of the process!” – John M

“What dreams may come! good work!” – mwigington

“Day dreaming (space intended) is such a great way to inhabit the world and FEEL out the situation from the inside. It's only maladaptive when we don't return!” – Rafa

I know today's words will be binned. Haven't had the brain power. But the discipline was there and that has to be enough.

“You might be surprised. I often feel like what I've (while writing it) wasn't worth the effort but somehow it usually comes good in the editing phase.” – PhilipVE

Made the deadly mistake of opening my inbox before my MS. Costly!

“I feel you.” – PegB

“oh no, that is the WORST. I did it the other day and five hours later my brain was fried and I'd read the whole internet” – Rachael

“Eek!” – Denise Schuh

“It's the penalty box of life.” – Craig
