Surprised to hear from me?


This is the longest lapse in journal entries I've ever had, by a long shot.

It's been so long that I forgot what my last entry was about. To my surprise it was about my novel, Time Will Tell.

Long story short, I'm somewhere around 20,000 words into it. April wasn't a big word count month. May was just under 10,000 words. On June 15th, I surpassed May's word count. It's looking like I could more than double my wordage this month

I have been writing almost every day. This month, so far, I've had only three days of no writing. This month, I've been bouncing between 500 and 1,000 words a day as I try to stay consistent with a thousand. It's getting easier.

So it's been this snowball effect with my writing. I have dreams of doing 2,000 words a day in July, but we'll see how that goes. There's going to be a lot of word cutting and probably many scenes tossed away to take another pass at writing them. There is a lot of discovery as I go. Things will change. I don't feel the need to be bogged down by getting some of the scenes right by rewriting them now. The important thing is to get this draft down. Continue the forward momentum. Keep being that snowball rolling down the hill. I've been assured I'm going about it the right way.

My storyboard is out of date and I could really do some clean up around this journal. I could put up a novel word count. I can't promise I'll update everyday, that hasn't been my journal style anyway. At least I could come here two or three times a week. It's not like the writing has been keeping me from updating. I can't explain it. This journal just fell to the wayside.

It would be nice to keep updating. This is Writing Progress and there has been progress, indeed.
