804 words this morning. And that was with a late start.

If I can reach the point where I can regularly kick out a thousand or so in two hours, I will be happy.

Final count: 1010 words. Always happy when I can crack a thousand.

Since I started this tomfoolishness, 10738 words. Not great, but a helluva lot better than I had been doing.

Congrats! I admire you for setting up - and sticking to - this new routine! (I always found myself most productive when I wrote first thing in the early morning, before the day job - I maintained all sorts of good concentration habits, and my writing was more ... unified for it.)

It's a struggle. I need to get to bed by 9 to get enough sleep, and I always miss that time. I'm tired. I'll be taking off the week after next to write and get stuff done around the house. I want to catch up on my sleep, too.

Oh - and I love this template!

Thanks--it took a while to find it. I wanted a writing theme originally, but most of the good ones were taken and the ones I tried were too hard to read. So I looked in the Food themes for coffee, and tripped over this one.

Yay!

[kristine-smith.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but. Tired. Glad it's only for a few months.

what are you working on?

A supernatural thriller that is set in the modern day, but includes some tidbits of Illinois history. I'm finding I need to look up the damnedest things. Did they use this term in the 1830s? Did this object exist back then? I haven't even started digging into social attitudes and sexism, which concerns me a little. I so want to avoid anachronism if at all possible.
