Most of these words were outlining... I am stuck and trying to work out where the hell it's all going. Does that count?

β€œTotally does! I say as long as you're actively working on it and not using outlining as an excuse to get out of actual writing, it counts.” – AubreyP
β€œYes! You'll get there.” – Denise Schuh
β€œYes that counts, it is forward progress :)” – mwigington

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

β€œHave 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
β€œIt says there are 'no entries for this project'. And doesn't show an end date...” – ChapelWitch

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.

β€œYou've got this!” – Denise Schuh
β€œ1,300 words a day is not slow. I'd not be so diligent I suspect without the challenge!” – PhilipVE
β€œUnderstand the pace that works best for you and plan accordingly.” – Craig
β€œThat'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!

β€œI love that you weave in songs <3” – PegB
β€œWow, 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
β€œI've always wanted to weave songs into my stories. Love this.” – catbanks
β€œWriting should bring every author joy. That's how it works best.” – Craig
β€œGreat job in incorporating song into your story.” – Rob Kelley 42
β€œimmersion for you also equals immersion for the reader. love it” – Rafa
