Accountability

I’ve had a difficult few weeks for a variety of reasons and have suddenly realised I forgot to post my final accountability post! So here it is. There’s not much to say really. Yes, by the 22nd November I had completed the first draft of Project C. Yay!! The numbers are below. On the 1st […]

The writing has slowed a little this week, mainly because I’ve pretty much got the story down and this week has been more about filling in little scenes and bits of conversation. I started off sticking to my 2000 words a day target but decided I was writing stuff purely for the sake of getting […]

I have found out quite a bit about myself this week, or at least about my writing self. Part of this came about from listening to a podcast on the fabulous Creative Penn. I have mentioned this fantastic resource of a podcast before here but the specific episode that helped me this week was Self-Publishing 3.0 […]

I’ve realised I set myself (probably) unrealistic goals. Like the one where I wanted to hit 50K by the end of October… as you will see below I am way behind that. And as my editor pointed out recently it’s only 19 days until that other self imposed deadline of the 22nd November arrives, when […]

It’s been weeks since my last accountability post, which is rather missing the point, but there you go. Stuff happened, like a website catastrophe that I’m hoping none of you noticed. But that is all settled now so I’m trying to get back on my blogging schedule. However, in the meantime I have set a […]

I’ll be honest, I’m in a bit of a pickle with my plot. I keep trying to work out how it can possibly work and  come together and I’m still none the wiser. I think that’s why it’s not progressing any faster, I’m backing away from the bits I don’t understand yet. I have got […]

I missed a week!! How did I do that? I would have bet big money on having kept a perfect record so it just goes to show how all over the place I am. I’ll give you another little taster of just how crazy I am becoming too… I don’t know about you but I […]

Following on from last week it turns out I don’t seem to be able to put together a successful Facebook Ad so I pulled that, after dire results, and will have to do a bit more research before attempting again. (Anyone know of an idiots guide to doing these?) I have however been on two […]

Thank you for all the supportive messages and emails since my last post, it really is appreciated. The generosity of this online community never fails to amaze me and I must say a special thank you to Rosie and Terry. You know what you did for me this week, ladies, and I’m very grateful. There’s […]

You see, me saying I was speeding up and positively gloating on nearly managing to reach the 5K words total in a week was asking for trouble, wasn’t it? You know how it is, one minute riding the crest of a wave buoyed by your success… The next wiped out by the very same wave […]
