Sven update

Okay...so this week was not so good. I seem to be saying that every week lately, mores the pity. However 3 of my sons had a very bad gastro bug and it took a lot of my time looking after them, the poor mites. And then this weekend the contract retrieval struggle continues to distract me with emails going back and forth to the other authors and the lawyer. Hopefully that will be sorted out next week once and for all.

Sometimes it's hard standing up for a principle. You get left behind and treated like a second class citizen...*sigh*. Authors need protection from bankruptcy and what the trustee assumes control of. Hopefully we will have achieved something in our fight. Okay, off my soap box now...

Oh well. I still believe some progress is better than no progress.

Total this week: 2042
Total for Sven: 12,744
WIP Total: 25,897

So it's not too bad. I have gone over the 25k wordcount I predicted for the story, however there are still 3 scenes to write to finish the story off properly, so hopefully that will happen in the next week. Then I can get on to the next project.

I hope everyone else went well...

Another Sunday Check In with Sven...

Okay, I was away at a work conference most of the week, but I still managed 3201.

So total for Sven: 10,702
total for the project: 23,941

The end is in sight!

It's starting to come together!

Cool..I did 3304 words in the last three days...way over my 250 a day target...YAY!

The story is hitting a climax with the bad guys winning at the moment. I love writing bad guys! I also love writing the hero and heroine's escape...that's coming up next!

With five more scenes at the most, the end is in smelling distance...(Okay, so it might go over the 25 k target :-))

Total since the beginning of Sven is 7390, which is not a lot for some people, but for me that is quite significant when you look at how my last 3 months has been.

Now the health is getting on track, and now the writing is picking up! Next thing will be that I get my contracts back. Things happen in three's don't they?

Okay, off to bed so I can get a good night's sleep before the work week...catch you all later!

Bad start but good finish!

I spent most of the week fretting and living on clear fluids in preparation for the hospital trip on Friday. So no writing...:-(

Now that is behind me, I was on a roll today and did over 1k! Yay! I have the ending to this story in sight now...yay!

So all you League of Amazing Writers fans...Magda's story is almost done! Vincent...you're gonna love your namesake!

Sunday Check In with Sven...

Health issues have slowed my down, so I have decided to adjust my daily goals. I am trying for 250 words a day for the time being and will see if that is achievable.

So far for this week I did 549 words and total since the start 3049, so there is progress, and that is the main thing.

Hopefully I will gain in word count as things get better...

Late Wednesday check in...oops!

Not much good I'm afraid. Only 200 words, but starting today and for the next few days I have set myself a challenge...to raise the wordcount as high as I can before Monday.

Hopefully I will get more done than last weekend *sigh*

Sunday Check in

Okay, not doing as well as I would like to, but still making progress.

Since Wednesday check in I have written 747 words for a total for a weeks work standing at 1557 words.

Better than nothing, but I know I can do better!

If someone can send me some energy that would be great about now!

Alrighty then...Sven says sweat, so I WILL SWEAT!

How's everyone else going?

Checking in with Sven!

Okay, so I didn't get a good start.

The first two days were difficult due to family and health issues, but today I managed to do 810 words.

I promised 750...but with the 2 days behind, I still have 1440 words to catch up on this week. I WILL do it!

70 Days of Sweat!

Okay, I've gone and done it! Signed up to another motivational group to get that well needed kick in the behind to get the writing output to increase!

This one is called Sven's 70 Days of Sweat! It's the brain child of writing friends Alison Kent, Jo Leigh, HelenKay Dimon, Stephanie Tyler and Larissa Ione, who are also sponsoring it.

My goal is to write 750 words a day and achieve the following:

1. Finish current wip (25k novella standing at 15k)
2. Finish my other wip (25k novella standing at 5k)
3. Make some major progress on my paranormal novel
