Daily #WordcountCheck:

Time for an update! Currently at 86,005, down from 98K. Only 8k to meet my goal.

I still have 12 chapters to go. That's about 650 words to cut per chapter. (I have been averaging at least that so far.)

Wish me luck!

I could go on and on. My husband's family is from there and I never get tired of visiting. It's so hard to leave. Please DM if you have any questions at all. We've road-tripped all over in Sweden.

If you want to get out of town, I highly suggest Skellefteå. Medium city with amenities up north, but located on a river and so quiet & laid back. Small town & historical charm. It's light out all night in summer like a fairy dream. Spend Midsummer's Eve there if possible! 🇸🇪

Stockholm is a beautiful city. Take a tour via the boats through the archipelago. Skansen is an outdoor historical museum that makes a great outing paired with the Wasa Ship museum. Shopping & take public transport. A ferry to Drotningholm palace is also fun. Gamla stan old town shopping...

Lol. I had the entire crew prepping my colonoscopy asking questions about my writing as the anesthesiologist was getting down to business 🤣 Weirdest nap I ever had...

Where will you be (Stockholm or other areas) and for how long? There is so much 🥰🥰🥰

Time for an update! Currently at 89,338.

I only cut 422 words today.

I'm hoping to get back on track this week. My original goal was to cut 600 per day, but I've proven I can do twice that. Must. Keep. Going.

#amwriting #amediting #writingcommunity

That's great progress! 1000 a day is awesome!

Time for an update! Currently 89,760, down from 98k

I've been slow this week (spring break shook things up a bit).

1660 words cut since Monday. Not my best, but it's progress.

Anyone else off target for spring break?

Today I cut 1587 words, my biggest daily slash yet. I'm down to 91,420 from 98k.

I don't dare send this MS to my agent @charmstrong.bsky.social until it's slashed & pretty. IYKYK

Daily #WordcountCheck:

Update from yesterday. I'm at 93,007. My end goal is 78k.

I cut 1111 words yesterday 💪 I'm up to chapter 8 and have consistently been able to cut 20% of each chapter.

Am I an overwriter? Yes.

Do you overwrite or underwrite?

#amwriting #amediting #writingcommunity

Thanks! I feel like I haven't been super productive lately, so setting a deadline & goals might help this actually get done. 🤪

I'm at 94,118. My end goal is 78k. Aiming to cut at least 600 every day.

Luckily it's a first draft and I'm a total over-writer, so I know there's tons to cut. I just need to get down to it. 😅

Well, I'm editing and I really need to cut about 20k from my manuscript. So here's my attempt at accountability. My goal is to chop 600 words a day. Let's see how I do. Anyone else have a word count goal (positive or negative?) Let's do this! #amwriting #amediting #writingcommunity

Researching my Historical Fiction: A Wish Upon the Water My husband's family is from Skellefteå, a small town in Northern Sweden. The first time I visited in 2005, one of the first things we did was tour the historic center of town called the Bonnstan, or "...

Im so excited to go on submission to publishers soon for my historical fiction set in 1800s Sweden. #onsub #writingcommunity #historicalfiction #sweden
