That is the question. it applies to any time in the past week. If you write at least once a week, you will have production over a year. It also develops something that could become a good habit. It is sad to go for months without writing. It is better to fit in even fifteen minutes of adding words to a page, every week, than to let your writing fade away. We are not picky as to what writing is, or how much writing one might do. We let you set the definition on both. As long as you believe you wrote, that is good enough for us. I don't have time to list of suggestions of what is writing, this week. You can look back at others of these subjects to see the list.
Why shouldn't truth be stranger than fiction? Fiction, after all, has to make sense. Mark Twain (1835-1910)
I did write, in two sessions. I added a page and 867 words. I really need to skip some scenes and write the exciting stuff, then go back and fill in. I think I can get more written that way. My writing time is not going to be really great the next two weeks. I have a club meeting at the end of the month, an I have a lot of projects I need to work on to get ready. That will kill writing time. I cannot do both at the same time.
I am up to date on my story ideas, but I have a club meeting this week which will set me behind. Luckily I do have some time next week to fit in an extra story idea. I did a three story idea set this month. I had a concept I wanted to present. The problem was I could not set it up in one story idea, so I wrote three of them to show the whole concept. that was interesting way to do something. My compost pile count is at 41 ideas including what I am posting tonight. I have gotten a few good ones as of late. that is always fun.
As mentioned above, I am getting ready for the art show I have on the 28th. I spent the weekend getting several projects ready to be finished. I have yet to sit down and look at the stuff I had on display, and I have not sat down and looked at the other pieces I have that might go on display. I already examined my large carvings, and have to go over my small carvings next. the hard part has always been on deciding what stays home. I never have enough room for everything I want to show. I intend to create a mock-up of the table a few times and see what display will look best. I learned last year that it is better to decide before you go to a show, rather than when you are there. Last year, I got the day wrong, was going to it on Saturday, rather than Sunday. I used the time to practice my set-up, to make a number of decisions that made the setup better. Between now and the show, I will be working on some incomplete projects that don't have to be done. If something gets done enough for display, so much the better, especially if it turns out to be better than something else I planned on showing off.
As to the question of the day, I can say
YES, I DID WRITE
Did You Write?

Yes I actually got about 1,500 words done on Jorinda and Joringel this week...working on more now. Also some critting and bloggificating.
Posted by Kitti (Member # 7277) on :
Yep. 1000 words.
Posted by genevive42 (Member # 8714) on :
About 800 words, wish it were more. But I have new pets and they've been taking some time. That should level out soon though.
Posted by Meredith (Member # 8368) on :
Yes, I did. Finally. After putting SEVEN STARS away for the time being, I wrote over 6000 new words on DREAMER'S ROSE. And it feels good!

Go with it baby, go with it!

Plotted a couple of new short stories, edited and submitted my WotF entry, but didn't write any new fiction. I think a few influences have converged to sink me into a literary torpor - lengthy outstanding edits, a growing feeling that my writing sucks, and a lack of sleep due to other matters; hopefully the submission and resulting weight off my shoulders will aid in a resumption of writing. Maybe it's almost time to commit a couple of hours to the editing challenge.

I wrote my usual five hundred words on Thursday and Saturday...on Sunday, however, my extra spare time was wiped out by Daylight Savings Time.
Posted by aspirit (Member # 7974) on :
Yes, I wrote and deleted until I had about the same word count, excluding notes, as the previous week.

Good idea.
I wrote. I dug out a few old idea's, and found one that, after reworking, is really exciting.
