517 today. I fear this won't be a short story though as I have a first scene, but only the hint of speculative nature in it. Might not be the first scene though. But ideas are flowing. But feels like a novella or something similar, god I hope I havent found another novel, although a ya would shorter, and it might be younger then YA, it is a 12 year old MC. Well we will see.

I just had quick tot up and, since this thread started I've written 46500 words and missed the target three times and my own 1k target 5 times (twice only just).
Pretty pleased with myself

537 words. I will say though it feels like a touch of a crap out at first. Why?? I had been writing one story but when I logged on with limited time, didnt have the next scene even considered. So I went back to the story I was working on before this YA popped in. And sure enough, I was ready to write this scene. Too ready, I dont want to stop, but have a busy day tomorrow.

994. One more day and this story is finished. Proud of today, busted my finger in football today, so had to type with partial hand.

Finish my 4th short story since starting this thread. This one is still in first draft though. No true word count as I tend to delete as much as I add. But another day all the same.

505 words. Another slow start. I will say again, I like this thread. Another night where I was tired and in the past would have blown the night off, and thought about writing instead of writing. Not quite sure where this story is going, well I have beginning and end, and middle in theory, but feels like it is dragging on, and maybe when all is said and done, I could cut it in half.

Back to editing, more like a major rewrite, as it was the first short story I ever wrote those many years ago. But had finally found the holes I needed to plug. This story had been haunting me for, well since I wrote it, not quite 4 years ago. Man has my writing changed. Literally littered with dialogue tags, roar, growl and POV what was that? But the adrenaline was there, something I have wanted to get back to, writing with feeling, allowing the first draft to be bad.

Fool me once, shame on me, Fool me for like a week and that's AWESOME
Thanks so much for having this thread. I'm up to 20k over the last couple weeks and I know it wouldn't have happened without this motivation. Thanks tons.

well yesterday was my first missed day, thought about my story arc, but no true writing. Made up for it today, no word count but transforming this really bad frist draft from 4 years ago into something good.

Tough week, nearly missed another day. 511 words. Gave up on the hard edit, and just went with a rewrite.

500 today, and not sure if I'll have time for more. Why are some scenes so exhausting to write and others fly off the keyboard?

Just shy of 1k again on the current WIP, but I edited a chapter on the last WIP and plotted a good chunk of the next one.
