I guess I am a Weekend Warrior when it comes to writing.
Do you have a particular day where you find that you have the highest success at finding your word count for your work in progress?
I do.
It is Saturdays and Sundays. Those are my two days where I can sit undisturbed all morning long and write like there is no tomorrow. Unless there is a meeting I need to go to that day as was the case last Saturday and this comin
g Saturday.
From now on, I am going to try to focus more of my writing time around both of these two days, with the exception of this weekend.
This Friday I will be getting my root canal and then on Monday will be the temporary crown. So, I took the whole weekend off.
I think, I hope, that I will be in the mood to write after the root canal and then again on Monday after the crowning. This means that I will try and give myself a word count goal to shoot for over the weekend.
If I can hit 5k words a day during my so called long weekend I should be able to get to the middle of the story and quicken the pace.
When I write, I always fear that the story is dragging on – and on – and on for chapters at a time.
So those are my plans for this weekend, besides going to the first Mondnock Writers’ Group meeting this Saturday morning.
If anyone is interested, we meet at the Peterborough, NH town library in the conference room in the lower portion of the library at 9:45 am. These meetings are open to the public and last until somewhere around 11 am.
At each of these monthly meetings we are visited by a guest speaker to talk about the writing process.
We’ve had many great speakers since I joined in 2010.
If you have never been to a writing group in your area, I want to suggest that you should do so if you are really serious about entering a writing career. You not only get to make some really great friends but you do tend to leave with a few new bits of information you didn’t have before you attended the meeting.
ROW80 Check – in:
Last Sunday I had a really great day for my work in progress. I was able to add 5k words to the story that has been troubling me for the past month.
Maybe I was avoiding it and making excuses not to write. Who knows? But I was real happy with what I did accomplish this past Sunday. That boosted my manuscript to being 27% done.
Now for the rest of the week, the only writing I have done has been my blogging. That’s it.
After writing this blog, I will have my 500 words for the day. Snicker…snicker…
So here’s to a productive long weekend.
