Writer Life: Despite the Best of Plans

Writing Update

Despite my best efforts (setting aside time and making sure I am not interrupted for part of that) I am been making very little progress on my current WIP. The sum word count for this week (since last Wednesday) is only 3,381 words (Saturday 1,896 , Tuesday 1,485), but I am not giving up at all. This week should be epic, if I can manage to keep on track. School ends for the kids and I will (hopefully) get more uninterrupted writing time. So, stay tuned.

WIP current work count: 77,736 words

Goal: 90K to 100K

Other Associated Activities

Instead of writing, I have been preparing for Indie-Con which is beginning this Saturday with a big author party on FB and a scavenger hunt (posts don't go live until Saturday morning) with a nice attractive prize attached. If you are interested, be sure to check it out.

As a way of participating with the Indie-Con, I will also be posting some articles on different genre topics next week. I would love to have any feedback you would like to give on them.

I have also been brainstorming ideas for resuscitating this blog into a more consistent routine for me. A tentative schedule has been drawn up of themed posts: weekly writing updates, character introductions, glimpses of the writer's life (like this one), and some research information that I am gathering for future or current projects. I might throw in some Author Interviews as well. More time should mean more content, right?
