I already tried this and internet ...Okay, Take two. I already tried this and internet card decided it needed to quit working as it was posting!. Sigh.<br /><br />As it is hotter than Hades in my room during my writing time, and as I am busier than a chicken with it's head cut off, most of my writing has been done long hand and then translated. A monumentous task all on its own :)<br /><br />I didn't get all the chicken scratch converted to a sembelance of English. However, I did manage a lot of words anyway. Blood Traitors and Damian series are the same.<br /><br />Quest for Riverhand 84,099<br />Winds of Fire 53,035<br /><br />That makes a total of 11274, so I only have to make up 3726 in order to get my 3kaday average and I already have some of that on paper lol I cut that much as well. You know how it is in editing. That's the risk of using a ms you are editing. At one point, I cut 2k. Just highlighted and hit DELETE. I refused to let myself take it back, even if my word count did suffer.<br /><br />I have found that if I force myself to write on a particular MS even if I'm not wanting to, the words end up being cut anyway. I have to want to work on that particular book for my voice to be up to par with what doesn't get cut.<br /><br />good luck everyone :DLeonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11786326364037397675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9205386602206620765.post-13325950297561848042010-07-09T07:18:02.024-07:002010-07-09T07:18:02.024-07:00Okay.

Since I just started yesterday, I have about a thousand words. I'm still going to continue with the 1k a day, but I won't have as many as I should ! <br /><br />~Alison<br />lostinbelieving(at)yahoo(dot)comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
