First off, I work on my chapters in a slow and steady way depending on how my creative juices flow and if I am distracted by something else, or if I even feel like writing. So I set my goal for around 300-500 words a day.I end up writing more than that if my creative juices flow the way I want them to.

500 words a day adds up really fast if you're consistent  that's my daily goal too, but I've been feeling so poorly and been so busy and stressed lately I haven't written at all  Keep up the good work! |

500 words is a good deal... now if only I could do that... but I easily get distracted, either by the kids I'm living with or something on the internet.

Do you find that you usually add words or subtract when you edit?

I usually have to do both, as well as make some sentences sound better.

1120 words yesterday on Canyons, 1039 words yesterday. Also keeping up the pace on revising Lost Book. Tomorrow we've got a road trip to visit family, so I probably won't get anything done. That's ok. My brother who lives in Australia has been in the States for several weeks and is making one last stop at our parents house before flying back home; before this summer, we hadn't seen him in 2 years. Also my sister who lives back east is out here with her family, also haven't seen them in 2 years. So we're having a mini family reunion. Without my parents, they're on a vacation of their own. ETA: oops, I got this mixed up with the "Did you write today?" thread  |

Completely through editing chapter 18. It is 3,784 words. Think I will now work on the chapter for a SM fic while I figure out how I will write the following chapters for the YGO one. The episodes leading up to the Battle City finals will be tricky for me to play around with, since there are things in those episodes that annoyed me/upset me.

It's helpful sometimes to work on another project when you're stuck on something.
