I participated in Patti Nielson's blogfest where we kept track of our writing times each day for a week. I'll be honest--I wanted to have huge numbers. I hoped to find out that I write four hours a day (cuz let's be real, sometimes one hour feels like that!) but nope, I continued to clock out at one mere hour per day.
I am writing. It may not be as much as I COULD or possibly SHOULD be, but I'm tinkering away at something and getting somewhere with it. And I suppose after thirty days of thirty hours or after three hundred and sixty-five days of three hundred hours (not sixty-five because I'll be enjoying some of those driving-with-the-windows-down sort of days), I COULD have a sizable book finished. Or several.
I know, it's no NaNo, but it's something. Thanks Patti.
Thanks for participating and frankly one hour a day is better than nothing and sometimes you get a lot done in one hour.
ReplyDeleteThat's the plan! See you at Nano!

I think you are off to a good start! Go easy on yourself as you find your space to create. Next week may just be an hour and a half each day. I will be your cheerleader!
ReplyDeletePatti, I agree. Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteClarissa, sounds great! (We share the same initials)
Jema, thanks. I can always count on encouragement from you. :)
It's a great start. Don't put yourself down. It's a lot more than I can accomplish. I love your artwork. So cute.
ReplyDeleteKeep writing. I have to keep telling myself this. No matter how much time you spend on it. You're writing.
I'll tell you how much I've written the past month... ZERO :( I need to get back on the wagon!
ReplyDeleteChristine, thank you!
ReplyDeleteKristin Rae, it's not like you've been sitting on the couch eating bon-bons though! You'll pick up when you get the chance. :)
Hi Catherine, your new blog look is wonderful! I love your artwork :) And good job on your writing, don't worry that it isn't as much as you "should" have written or whatever, everything is progress :)
ReplyDeleteTHUMBS up with your devotion to writing time!
ReplyDeleteAre you going to do NaNo?
I like seeing your artwork on the blog!
ReplyDeleteI think you have to write what feels right for you. Even when you're not actively writing, you're letting the story gel. And that's important too.
I gave you an award over at my blog. Don't worry if you don't have time to do the whole award thing. Just know that I think highly of your blog.
Diana, thank you!:D I am trying to be pleased with what I CAN accomplish.
ReplyDeleteJennie, thank you. Yes, I'll be doing Nano. For me it's an extra push that I love getting each year. Are you?
Awwww, thank you Mary Anne.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, as long as you are writing (or at least thinking about what you want to write), that's what counts. :)
