Welcome to my second WIP update!
So, how are you today? How's the week treating you? Here in Oz, it's finally starting to feel like spring. There was quite a bit of rain last week and we even had a freak hailstorm on Friday night, but this week has been mostly blue skies and lovely temperatures.
I say mostly because it was overcast this morning. But it didn't take long for the sun to make an appearance.
Anyway. Asides from catching up on the washing and updating my files + photos, I've been working on my WIP. I'm at the stage where I'm totally caught in the frenzy of getting the story outta my head. When all of the pieces are slowly slotting into place and I'm getting good word counts done.
Even when I didn't really feel like writing because this week was draining my energy, I still hit my daily word count goal. I'm just too into the story to put it aside.
Besides, that's what the weekend is for. 😜
- Monday: 26,242 (added 4091w)
- Tuesday: 30,437 (added 4195w)
- Wednesday: 34,513 (added 4076w)
- Thursday: 39,471 (added 4958w)
- Friday: 43,250 (added 3779w)
There you have it. Monsters is going very well. Very well, indeed. I'm really happy with how the story is unfolding. The creepy factor keeps intensifying. The complications are reaching twisted proportions. The family drama is totally disturbing.
I passed 100 pages. Crossed 40k words. And I'm pretty sure the halfway point has come and gone.
But I've now reached that point where I need to grab pen & notebook, sit down and start taking notes. It's time to brainstorm my way to The End. Everything is going down, the characters are heading into dangerous territory, and the downward spiral has already begun.
There's still quite a bit of story to tell, but I need to write everything down so I don't forget anything.
Asides from the novel I'm writing, the other day while I was walking, the beginning of a story idea I've had sitting in my Idea Files hit me. Love it when that happens!
Well, that's it for this week.
Hope you all have a great weekend!
