I fell off my tortoise :(

OK so i stumbled. I didnt do anything Saturday, Sunday and I wont be writing Monday or even Tuesday because i have a huge exam to study for.

I'm not used to studying, so it's taking some time and this exam is worth half of my final mark. So I will get back on to the bandwagon on Wednesday and then have fun on my four day getaway for easter by writing to my little hearts content. Also after Thursday i have two weeks off tech!!! I will be able to write, read and run as much as I want and I won't be wasting three hours of my day, which really wastes 6 hours because when i get home at 9-9.30 i can't be bothered doing much.

YEAY!!! Can't wait until Wednesday!!!

still going!!!

that will be 6 days in a row thank you very much!

am part of the way through Remember. But i think it will be having a change of name very soon...maybe My Husband or something like that.

Consecutive Days writing: 6
Current Project: Remember

I'm not hiding! I wrote again!

Usually when i dont post it means i didnt write, but yesterday i wrote! It wasn't much but it was still something! and im proud of that.

Reading stephen kings short stories of late have inspired me to pursue one of my own. I used to love writing short stories but then got caught up in the novel writing. Today i had an inspiration for a piece. And that is what i want to work on until i finish it, for now.

Short stories have never taken me that long to complete. A day or two at most. So for today, that is what i want to focus on, i may still write a bit for Practically Dead, but i want to work on Remember for today.

Consecutive days writing: 5
Current Project working on: Short Story - Remember

I backed up for round two today!!!

Not only writing for the third consectutive day...but i wrote twice today!!! I finished another 4 pages of Practically Dead! I don't even know how many words that is because i hand write on an A4 pad...will have to figure out the average words for one page.

Yeay!!! So excited!! I wrote a total of 8 pages today!!! That's a new record! I might even have made the 1,000 word count for today after that effort!

Number of consecutive days: 3
Number of projects started: 4
Project currently working on: Story #10 - Practically Dead

Still working!

Ok maybe it might not be 1,000 words a day, but i have been writing everyday for three days! which is a bit sad that that is a new record...but still 3 whole days! I've finished the first chapter for Practically Dead and the final chapter...i just felt i really needed to write it this morning.

Thats 2 chapters! Im so proud.

New challenge is to see how many days in a row I can write! I will try the 50,000/50 later, when I find a rhythm.

Its working!!!

I love it when you pick up a pen and it magically jumps across the page for you!

Just this morning in my twenty minutes of work I started on Practically Dead! I was thinking about it and even though I have a some inspiration for The Queens Dresses, I don't want my first completed novel to be an erotic one...bad Juju as they say. So I'm currently working on Practically Dead (I am so going to have to change that name...it doesn't fit at all) for the 50000/50 challenge.

As of right now I'm sitting at 150 or so words...yeay!!!! Will finish some more tonight before tech :)

All systems go!

I have been in a rut. I haven't written, haven't posted and haven't cared....not like me...stupid men, steal my inspiration.

Aaanyway, J.Kaye has joined the 50,000/50 challenge write 1,000 words a day for 50 days....excellent! I literally got a tingle when I read this. I will try and focus on one manuscript for the next 50 days!

The challenge was originally started by Sarah at Confessions of the Un-published and the reason she did it was because she is having the exact same problem as me.

I have a tech break coming up soon, so that's two whole weeks of free nights! And we're going away for Easter ka-ching! what better time than right now.

I am starting a bit later than everyone else, so instead of finishing on the 1st of May, i will just finish on the 4th. simple...no getting out of this one.

I literally got a tingle when i read about the challenge, my fingers flexed and warmed up, my brain is whirring at top speed thinking about which story to conquer (probably TQD), my heart is jumping around in my chest and i am feeling much better after feeling down in the dumps for no apparent reason the past 4 days. and you know how guys do that foot twitch and make their knee go up and down sub consciously...my foot is currently doing that twitch...

Half Dead Tortoise has awoken from its slumber...to plod along another day!

The Half Dead Tortoise has been a little dead

It looks like the Half Dead Tortoise may have died...but dont worry readers! i will get back on track!
Hopefully this week :)

New things are happening and i went down very hard with bronchitis last week but everything should hopefully be getting back on track!!!
