Writing was sporadic at first, in fits and spurts, but I\u2019m finally into new territory.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993366;\"><strong>[Writerly chit-chat alert]<\/strong><\/span> The book stands at just over 60,000 words so far. I prep for each writing day the night before, by going over the chapter\/scenes I will be writing using the \u201cscene cards\u201d worksheet from one of my writing books. Basically just a break down of the scene, who is in it, their goals, obstacles, what the MC has gained or lost etc.<\/p>\n<p>It helps, especially since I am working on getting my daily word count (on all writing projects) up, using <a href=\"http:\/\/thisblogisaploy.blogspot.ca\/2011\/06\/how-i-went-from-writing-2000-words-day.html\" target=\"_blank\">this method<\/a> as a guide. 10K Days? A girl can dream!<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m also keeping a separate sheet for each chapter, making notes as I go of things to remember, references to other chapters I need to check are included, etc. Either way, my goal (obviously) is to finish the book by the end of the month. But it isn&#8217;t just my pride on the line here, folks. I have tentatively selected a trip to a local cafe for dessert waffles as my prize for finishing (though my first choice was an iPad).<\/p>\n<p>All in all, I&#8217;m happy with where I am (especially after that long drought of not writing anything new), but I&#8217;m still focused on upping my word count up as I go.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>10K Days?
