The Writing Continues...

Hey, how are you today? I hope you all had a great week. What did you get up to? Can you believe we're halfway through November?! OMG. How? 😳

Last week I mentioned that we got routine blood tests done, and we got the results, which were good. So I'm glad about that. I also finished taking the capsules the doctor prescribed and I don't actually know if it made much of a difference. My right side/lat muscle still hurts when I go uphill and sit a certain way, but it might be getting a bit duller. I don't know. I need to keep avoiding really steep inclines and keep an eye on it. I know that muscle/nerve strains take a while to heal, so I think I just need to be patient.

Hopefully it will clear away soon.🤞

So, I've been writing up a storm.

Here's my WIP progress:

  • Monday: 41,064 (+5,585w) 
  • Tuesday: 45,422 (+4,458w)
  • Wednesday: 50,372 (+4,850w)
  • Thursday: 54,215 (+3,843w)
  • Friday: 58,523 (+4,308w)
Not bad, right? ☺️

When I first started writing this story, I wasn't sure if it was going to be a novella or a novel, but since I crossed the 50k mark... I guess that means I've entered novel-length territory. Yay.

Progress this week has been pretty constant because every time I sat down with my laptop, the words poured out of me in such a rush that I had to backtrack the next time because I had to add things that got lost in the whirlwind. LOL.

The coolest thing happened the other night, too. I reached that part of the story where the rest of the novel revealed itself and the road to the end is starting to become clearer. Now it's time to make my way to the end, which is going to be fun. 

Well, for me. Not necessarily for all the characters.

This story is really eating my brain. So much that it keeps waking me up at night. Or too early. I even dream about it because the characters won't STFU, which is actually awesome.

Anyway, that's about it for now. I'm going to take a two-day mental break away from the novel and spend some time with my husband.

There'll probably be some note-taking and brainstorming, but that's it.

Have a great weekend!!
