Day 112

Did it:

Cami

Didn't:

Elena - I am not going to write for awhile. I've done absolutely nothing else lately, and I need some catch-up time. In fact, I've put in so many hours, I think those should count for all the rest of next month, although I'll be back long before then, as soon as I find some balance.

Day 111

Did it:

Cami--I got so involved I forgot to pick my daughter up from school.
Elena - worked all day, finally finished - really, I mean it this time - my novel. Still wondering about the title.

Didn't

Mary -my 8yo has been home sick and it's thrown off my schedule.

Day 110

Did it:

Cami--I took too much time and now I'll have to scramble to be ready to decorate the wedding I have to do tonight.

Didn't:

Elena - ran out of time. Every time I sat down, someone made me get up and take them somewhere.

I think I want to throw my book in the recyling bin

My sister sent back Hepsiba this week and told me to cut most of the second half of the story. Like at least 100 of the 300 pages.

She cut out all of my subplots.

She eliminated all of the conflict between individual characters.

I was angry.

Then I was depressed.

Then I started cutting things she didn't suggest I cut, and left in most of what she did. I liked my book better, but I'm still wondering, should I chuck the whole thing?

Day 109

Did it:

Mary
Cami
Elena - more chopping, and some writing, too. I put back some of the things I cut yesterday. Is this productive?

Page 108

Did it:

Mary
Cami
Elena - actually, I cut twenty-three pages and didn't add more than a few sentences, but I spent most of the day working on my book, so it counts. So there.

Day 106

Did it:

Julie--It was painful and crappy, and I'm sure it will just end up getting cut, but I wrote a page.
Cami--It's Monday and I got a page written. That almost never happens.
Mary - I'm unplugged this week, I'm hoping to get a lot of writing done.
Didn't:

Elena - Still taking a little break while I wait to hear from my sister about Hepsiba. I wrote but didn't publish a blog post. Does that count?

Friday, March 12, 2010

Day 105

Did it:

Cami-started on something new today. I have lost my momentum with Sinister Snare. Too many changes to make.

Didn't:

Elena - I'm taking a break since I did absolutely nothing but write all week and I'm really backed up on everything else in my life. I figure my excess hours other days should still sort of count.
Julie

Day 104

Did it:

Cami-- I'm at a tough spot right now, but I think I got it figured out today.

Wednesday, March 10, 2010

Cami--a page and a half of brainstorming. How does anyone write without a detailed plan???

Elena
Mary

Did it:

Mary - I'm writing again.
Elena - Yay, Mary!

Saturday, March 6, 2010

Where have all the writers gone?

Is it because of the weather? Where is everybody? Let's get writing people! For your own sanity, and so I know somebody's alive out there and writing besides me.

You'll be a better mom, a nicer person.

And I really want to read your books, word-women! Come on! Come back...please.

Hi, Cami. Ignore this. Thanks for plugging along.

Friday, March 5, 2010

Day 96

Did it:
Elena - had a marathon revision day. Did not exercise and now I'm sorry. Except when it's a good writing day it seems wrong to interrupt.
Are we petering out a little on writing, or only the reporting? Sorry I've been bad lately. I forget to report sometimes.
