Demon Connection: New words: 1339 Total word count: 8480
This week is definitely not going like I planned.
1) I've only written 1339 words on my new story when it should have been over 6,000 words
2) the pH in the pool was so low that I had to put 50 lbs. of soda ash in it--and now it's so cloudy a body could be laying on the bottom --or even second step--and I'd never know!
3) kidlet is a whiny pre-pubescent boil on my butt
I'm sure I could come up with more, but guess what? I forgot to write my Wednesday blog! So this is it.
I'm scrapping the entire week. It sucks, but what can I do?
I'm starting from scratch, just like I did with my new story. Demon Connection had 75 pages written and I've been trying to skim over the scenes before I rewrite the 'new' scene. I don't cut and paste--tried it once, NOT a good thing--so I thought to take the general idea and rewrite it.
Well, it's not working. Oh, I have some gems that I'm leaving behind, but they aren't part of THIS story. THIS story is different and when I come to terms with that life will get better.
I'm tossing this week and starting over.
How about you? Or are you simply going to . . .
Write on!
I'm not doing as well as I wanted, and I don't have kids to blame. I haven't even done much cleaning, which I'll have to start today, since my sister and bil are coming to visit tomorrow. Ack! I'd better get to work.
