Word count slowly creeping up but there's still a long way to go. #amwriting #amwritingparanormal #thehauntedcelt #WritingGoals
And now for the accurate Week 10 update! Broke the 40K mark, which is very exciting for a "minimalist" writer like myself, who struggles with meeting the genre expectations of word counts. Still plenty of work to do. #amwriting #thehauntedcelt #writingcommunity #writerslife #blueskywriters
Oops! I forgot to update my word count from week 8 to week 9, d'oh! So, at the end of week 9 (8/15) we were actually at 39,801. Past the halfway mark! #amwriting #thehauntedcelt #blueskywriters #writingcommunity #writerslife
Took a break and now it's back to the grind! Writing into uncharted territory now, adding new scenes to amp up the tension. #amwriting #writingcommunity #writersofbluesky #thehauntedcelt
How did I up my word count by 20K in one week?? By inserting all the 3rd draft material that is being kept into the final ("final") draft ๐#amwriting #amediting #thehauntedcelt #writinglife #writingcommunity #halfwaythere #skywriters
Adventures in editing continue. Is it really just "editing" when you've rebuilt your protagonist, reintroduced a previously cut character, and reframed the whole inciting indecent? #thehauntedcelt #amwriting #amediting #isthereanybodyoutthere #writerslife #skywriters
Being creative in a messy world isn't always easy, but I'm trying. #thehauntedcelt #blueskywriters #writerslife #writebravechallenge #writebrave
Make time to write this week. You can do it! #getwriting #thehauntedcelt #amwriting #blueskywriters
Are Vampires from Romania? Bram Stoker, Irish literary legend & creator of "Dracula", would almost certainly have known of Abhartach: a brutal Celtic chieftain who, after being assassinated (more than once) would rise from his grave to drink the blood of his enemies. #folklorefriday #thehauntedcelt
