making progress! After taking Sunday off (and making 2 scrapbook pages) I did 10 pages of revision today and wrote 1141 words. It included some interesting backstory, and a bit of really cool magic so it was fun to write ;D

not quite 10 pages of revision today; I didn't want to stop in the middle of a long and crucial scene. Wrote 1227 words of Canyons.

I was wondering where you were! it's great you still got some writing done road trip to see family and pick up our older son from the airport on saturday (coming home from his summer job in Florida, as it happens ;D ) and I take Sundays off. Today I revised about 12 pages, and wrote 1173 words. I've upped my daily word count goal to 1100, to start getting in shape for NaNoWriMo in November. ;D

well, even though I haven't checked in for a while, I've still been plugging along. Not making my goals every day, but most days I am. I'm up to p. 288 (out of 353) in revising Lost Book, and a total of 28,252 words of Canyons. I upped my writing goal again, to 1200 words a day. NaNoWriMo is a little more than two months away, got to get in shape! ;D

Only two more days and I'll finish revising Lost Book! and I wrote 1397 words of Canyons today. Might have made it to 1400, but I came to the end of a scene and didn't want to start the next one tonight.
gotta keep getting in shape for NaNoWriMo! *puff pant puff pant* *jogs in place on the keyboard* ;D

300 words at a time will get it done, just keep it up! ;D I'm back to revising Solaris, took 3 days to do a complete read-through and scene check (I listed each scene and its purpose, ended up cutting a few that were just sitting there not doing anything). The scene- by-scene revision slog commences tomorrow. 10 pages a day (it's only 105 pages ) I know it looks like I've been writing tons of words, I'm really working on getting in shape for NaNoWriMo. The pace to win that is 1667 words per day, so I'm trying to build up to it. I'm getting within shouting distance of the end of the draft of Canyons, doing 1400+ words most days but not every day (not counting my day off on Sundays).

yesterday I revised 10 pages of Solaris (chapter 1) and wrote about 1600 words of Canyons. Almost done with Canyons! at least with the first draft, it's going to need a lot of work in revisions.
today so far I've revised 12 pages of Solaris (chapters 2 and 3) and I'm goint to write as much as I can on Canyons. at least 1400 words.

Today I wrote 351 words. Pretty good. good job! I really got going tonight and did over 1700 words (1751? don't remember). SOOO close to finishing Canyons, but not quite there! I just couldn't keep going. When I'm doing NaNo, every day has to be like this, word-count wise, and it was tough. I need to keep getting in shape. When I'm finished writing this draft, maybe I'd better do a writing prompt every day to practice keeping my word count up.

made a big push today and finished Canyons - almost 2900 words! printed it out, put it in a binder, and put it aside to rest for a while before I start revising it. also revised 2 more chapter (13 pages) of Solaris. Now that the draft of Canyons is finished, I'll start spending more time on Solaris and get it done.

mistressKeren: that's 24 words you didn't have before keep pushing through, you'll shake your muse awake eventually. plasticat: wow, that's a great day of writing! keep it up right now I'm doing what I hope is the final revision pass on Solaris. Mostly proofreading, still finding a few awkward sentences and things that need to be made a little more clear. Hopefully I can finish marking today and get the corrections typed in in the next two days.

The draft of Canyons is done and resting for a while, Solaris is finished and being posted, now I'm charging through another revision of Lost Book. 20 pages per day. It's getting so there's a lot less work to do on it, some pages (not very many, but some) don't have any red ink on them at all! ;D
