a close up of a lego character with a smiley face Alt: Benny from The Lego Movie

I'm working on a new book, so it's time to resurrect the accountability posts! I #amwriting - this week I wrote on 6 days out of 7 (so almost #writeeveryday), for a total of 2565 words (which is comfortably more than #200wordsaday). All of them were set on-board a... spaceship!

Get back to my #200WordsADay challenge, which is currently more like 200 words every few days.

Many moons ago (okay, just a few moons) I used a #200wordsaday challenge to complete my last novel. I'm trying it again to get through my current WIP. So far so good: 2509 words and counting. I'll get there! #WritingCommunity

I wrote 2282 words today, which I'm pretty darned pleased with. We meet a familiar character earlier than we've even known them before and discover something about their motivations #amwriting #writeeveryday #200wordsaday

Today’s #wordcount - 273

Very depressed by the book today. Can’t see my way through this. It’s a jumbled mess right now. Sigh. 😞
#amwriting #200wordsaday

I wrote 666 words today, which is quite the omen... don't think it's the first time that's happened to me at random, either. Is there something I should know? #amwriting #writeeveryday #200wordsaday

Today’s #wordcount - 499

I’m editing as well as adding new words, link scenes etc. but slow progress and half the time I’m undoing something I’ve only just written.

I'm on holiday, but so far I've written 2893 words and finally... finally we might be figuring out what on earth has been happing #amwriting #writeeveryday #200wordsaday

Struggling. Yes, I’ve done my words but there is so much more work to be done to get this novel into shape and I should have achieved more today. Sigh. 😞

Re-writing and joining up a section, but there’s still loads of work to do on this chapter. Wondering if the story now feels too slow? But I don’t want to lose the little details either… 🤔

I wrote 1563 words today, in which there is evidence of the presence of a very large spider #amwriting #writeeveryday #200wordsaday

Surprisingly good - wrote what started out as a filler scene which I think turned out to be quite useful, giving a couple of characters and situations a bit of depth (hopefully).

I now have over 95,000 words of draft manuscript. Was aiming for 80,000 ish. Oops! And still have some missing scenes. Still, it’s always easier to delete than add so should all work out in the end…😬

Sorry, no real idea how many as was dovetailing a pre-written scene into a new place so it was all bits and pieces to plug the gaps. But definitely more than 200!

After a week of struggling and just doing the minimum most days, today has been a good confidence boost. Maybe I can get this done after all! 🤞

Weirdly, might have found an ending of sorts for this short story… Feel like I need to go back and think of it slightly differently now.
