firethesoundWordcount this week is way up from last week, which is nice--especially considering how little writing time I have these days. I get 30-40 minutes on my lunch break at least three days per week (sometimes four days, and very rarely five) and then a pretty dependable 20 minutes on Sundays, and that's basically it. Sometimes I throw down some story notes in the evenings, but by that point in the day I'm so completely exhausted that I can barely think, and definitely not up for any writing. Usually I'm able to get a little more wordage out of those blocks of time, but emotionally and mentally this past week was pretty rough so I'm very happy with what I've got.
New words this week : 2614 words which is great, all things considered!
WIPs worked on this week : 2, with no new WIPs (yay!)
The Old Guard
☆ food truck au : 2575 words which brings the total to 46,975 words and with the breakthrough I've had on the second half I feel like it's full steam ahead. Taking a two-ish month break from it was actually the right call, even if it was mostly unintentional. Having some time to simmer in the back of my brain helped me work through the plot of the second half and for the first time I feel like I've actually got a story that fits the wordcount this fucker has ballooned into. I think I'm comfortably over halfway through writing it, so that's exciting as well. Hoping I can wrap it up in another 25-30k.
☆ werewolf au : 39 words which brings the total to 12,702 words and I'm pretty excited for when I get to switch my focus to this one full time.
