Week 10 Analysis of Writing Challenge

Hmm, ever have one of those days? You have a good plan, then
SPLAT!

Yeah, that's about how Week 10  ended up. And the more time that goes by, the less time I seem to be allotting to my writing the way I had before the day job resumed.

Admittedly I added more words than in Week 9 (1,842) in 75 fewer minutes, but my biggest issue has been dealing with my own mistrust of my writing.

Yup, I'm back to that old problem, which makes me think...
maybe I need to put some time in figuring out what's making me go sideways every time I make it 50% to 75% of the way through my book.

But, I'm not going to get myself side tracked with my need for therapy or alone time with my ego and self-confidence in this post, this is all about information about my progress from Week 9 to Week 10.

The good thing about Week 10 was the increase in words in less time. I did get 20 pages of edits done, 9 less than the previous week. but considering I wasn't doing much of anything, shows that I at least gave a shot to doing work that my heart really wasn't in.

And that seems to be the theme for Week 10...loss of heart in the project that should be a project of my heart. Again, this will require internal digging and dealing with issues I'm not yet ready to look at, yet, I will get to it by Saturday.

I do intend to get more editing done. I did arrange the pages to allow me to work from the end to where I left off, which should allow me to make more progress on the story. I am still determined to get Rogue Master published by New Year's Eve of 2016.

If that happens, then I'll simply have a great kick off to 2017.

Thank you for sticking with me on this journey. I do intend to get another post up on Friday - Saturday at the least.

Hope you have a great Autumnal Equinox tomorrow!

See ya soon,

"Across the Pond" this week

Second week of my blog tour and I'm visiting Rachel Leigh. Have had some great comments so far. If you haven't done so yet, don't forget to stop by and say hello. Feel free to leave a comment, I'll be checking back all weekend.

Got a few things done here on the blog/website...added Revealed: A Poker Posse Story to the Poker Posse Page. Put a word counter on the Home page so viewers can track my progress and double-checked the links to my books to the Loose Id site...site updates there have been playing heck with the links.

Even have my little sister, Dane Waters, bugging me to help her get a website up and running...Hope to help her with a site similar to mine by the end of October...maybe.

Will post again on Monday with my next stop.

Have a great weekend!
