This weekend was not a good weekend for word count. I was sick both Saturday and Sunday. I had hoped to get 14,500 words written over the course of the two days, intending on doing more on Saturday and only having to make up part of the difference on Sunday.
Nope. My stomach decided to catch a bug. I spent most of Saturday dragging myself around, and Sunday was spent sleeping and dragging myself around my bedroom. Not at all what I had hoped. I got 3173 words written over the course of the two days. Now, that's not bad and if you're looking at just getting 50,000 words written this month, I'm just over 30,000 so I'm doing really well.
But we all know that's not my goal. My base goal is 150k. My dream goal is 240k to be honest. I'm NO WHERE near that.
And I'm dreaming about scenes that I need to add to my rough draft for Part 3. I'm happy with what's being rewritten in Part 2. I yearn to get into 3. I have to. My sanity depends on it. So I HAVE to get more than the 150k base. I HAVE TO.
So, my stomach needs to cooperate. My head needs to stop hurting and my body needs to quit telling me to go back to bed. I have to get this done.
My goal today is 7,500 words by midnight. That will get me 1/4 of the way to the 150k goal. Since today is the end of week 1, that's a solid goal. It's also only 250 more that my daily minimum.
But you know I want more than that. You know I'm going to shoot for higher... if my body and mind will let me.
See you tomorrow. Hopefully, I won't be brain jelly.
