8902 Words Later

Hello. Hope all is well, and you are safe.

Yesterday I expressed a desire to work on other projects. Last night I decided to compile the files for the main story. I still have a few more files to add, but those partiular parts of the story need to be revised before they can be added.

At the moment they are raw thoughts, unformatted, and lack proper descriptions. Should I add them in, it will feel messy and out of place. At the very least the rest of the story is properly formatted. I need to make time.and complete these scenes.

That said the compiled work so far is 8,902 words. I’m sure with the incomplete files it’s over 9,000 words. I still have more to write. At this point this is 32 pages of story (double-spaced, Times New Roman font, size 12).

At one point I’ll need to print it out and work on edits from the printed work.

Happy creative endeavors.

Sunday In the Summer

It’s warm outside, but I didn’t stay out there too long. I was putting stuff in the recycling bin. It felt nice. Lie the calm before the roasting heat shows up, and going outside feels like a harsh labor to contend with as opposed to enjoying nature.  Such is southeast weather. 

Found myself writing late last night. A scene that is part silly, and part conflict. I enjoyed writing it down in my Notes app, which means sometime today I must sit and get it to my Word file, and format it properly. 

No rewrites got done, and I pretty much goofed off for a while, but I feel we all need time to not be constructive. At the very least it gives our minds a rest. 

Failed to drink water…or least least a glass full. Just a few sips here and there. I did have soda and coffee, but I need my water. So I will try this again today, with more water, less other drinks so I can have better balance in my water needs.  

Hope to pick up more writing today. If it’s new scenes as opposed to revisions, that’s fine. I want more stuff done. The page count should be up, but won’t know how far until I get formatting done. 

Happy creative endeavors.
