1062 words today. My word count is slightly lower today… I bought a standing desk, and it arrived. I spent the afternoon putting it together. It’s definitely an investment in my health, so a few thousand words for the day is a smart sacrifice! (Picture below of my...

1246 words today. Not proud of it, but no one’s perfect. I was feeling a bit under the weather from a flu shot as well as another medical issue I’m dealing with. Nothing major, nothing permanent, but it might decrease my count for the next couple of days. I did get in...

1209 words. Less than I'd hoped, but hey, it's the last day of 2020, and we all need a break. If you're reading this, it means you survived what will (hopefully) be the most memorable and tumultuous year of our lives. While this pandemic is far from over, it's an...

4497 words today. Pretty good day today. I’m 700 words shy of the 30,000-word mark. Today was pretty smooth skies, no major issues with the story. I did not do as much looping as I could have, opting to enjoy the smooth ride while I could. I’ll have some looping...

Got hit by a freight train today. Not literally, but figuratively. 2111 words today, which is BELOW where I needed to be. But there’s more to the story, and it’s interesting. I started the day patching up the section I mentioned yesterday that leads up to the “big...

3736 words today. I had a brief hiccup today with the location of the “big” scene. It started off as a generic location but then something told me I needed to do some more research. I spent some time finding a good location grounded in history that happened to be...

I’m smoking hot today!!! (Not my body, but my word count LOL). I started the day off with a final, much-needed loop on my current chapter, which fortunately added 500 additional words to the manuscript because I had to add some things in earlier chapters as a result...

2,014 words today. Had to do some kung fu on the manuscript today but I’m in a much better spot this evening. Sadly, I didn’t get on the bike today. I spent a lot of time writing, though. I wrapped up some more of the just-in-time research I mentioned yesterday and...

1970 words today. I hope everyone had a great holiday today. If you have kids (or grandkids), I hope that you were able to find a way for them to enjoy the season and forget about COVID-19 for a day or so. We definitely did that. Folks, I’m officially in a rough spot....

I hope that you and your family have a very merry holiday. Hopefully you take some of this downtime to get some writing done! Other than that, I got nothin’. My Christmas gift this year? The (almost) entire discography of one of my favorite jazz fusion bands of all...
