Well, there was some slight progress in May, so I clocked in at 3,367 words! It's the most words I've written in a month this year, but the sad truth is that my overall word count so far is only 9,167, which is less than the 12,500 I should've written each month. *sigh*

As of June 1st I should've written at least 62,500 words which means I'm 53, ( Read more... )

I ended up writing 1,009 words in April. Which is over a thousand words, but hardly anywhere near what I should've written. If this continues then I'll be lucky if I manage 100K this year, much less 150K. *sigh*

That said, I should've written 50,000 words as of May first, but I'm only at 5,798 words. Which means I'm 44,202 words behind schedule.

March was a slight improvement, at least compared to February. As in I wrote about twice as much, not that it was anywhere near what I should've written, but baby steps. Right?

That said, I should've written 37,500 words as of April first, but I'm only at 4,789 words. Which means I'm 32,711 words behind schedule. If I'm going to get back on track, ( Read more... )

I thought January was my all-time low, turns out it was February. I only wrote 531 words. *sigh* Where did my inspiration and muse go? They're both clearly in hiding. :(

As of March first I should have written 25,000 words, but I'm only up to 3,631. ...which means I'm 21,369 words behind schedule.

As always, practice social distancing and wash your ( Read more... )

January was not a good month as far as writing goes. I wrote all of 3,100 words, which is an all-time low since I began writing for GYWO. I've written less in a month, but still. It wasn't how I was expecting to start 2021.

According to what I should've written so far (12,500 words), I'm 9,400 words behind. It's going to be difficult to catch up ( Read more... )

December did not go as planned. I failed to reach my unofficial goal of 200K words in 2020, but I did manage to write 191,796 words. Which is more words than I have ever written in a year, so I'm still calling it a win! I clocked in at 5,085 words in December rather than the 13,500 I had hoped for at the start of the month.

Writing 191,796 words in ( Read more... )

2020 was not the great year we had all hoped for, quite the contrary in fact. But we are still here and we will hopefully still be here when 2022 rolls around. Celebrate all the good things that happened and remember that we will get through this.

With any luck, 2021 will be a great year and we'll beat the pandemic so our lives can go back to ( Read more... )
