Almost met the goal today

Daily Goal: 500 words.
I wrote 400 words.
Sundays/Stories Finished: 6/0.

There are several good news: I wrote, I almost managed my goal, still developing the same story, it is getting there. There are a few bad news as well: I am still writing and rewriting the first few scenes, the set-up, the character introductions, and the opening dialogue. I never seem to get to the ending.

Whenever I get a chance to write, I have had a few days break and have reflected on the written passages. So when I do pick up the pen and pad again, I start rewriting and editing, instead of continuing on.

I think I will three more sessions like today before I see a finished draft. In order to get there, I need to continue from where I have left the story. No more edits until the draft is finished.

In other news, I feel quite good. I didn't update the blog last night. In fact, when the time came for updating the blog I had already been asleep for a few hours. My wife was out with her sowing circle. I, naturally, had great writing and reading plans, but around 9 o'clock I got tired and had a great idea: I'll just go to bed and get a decent night's sleep for once.

Finished 'Citadel of the Autarch'

Daily Goal: 500 words.
I wrote 0 words.
Sundays/Stories Finished: 4/0.

I was going to skip posting on the blog tonight. I haven't written anything and I am dead tired. But some neighbour is partying and I can't sleep. As I write, however, I hear the music has stopped, so I'll make it brief and go to bed.

I have finished 'Citadel of the Autarch'. It is quite a decent end to a great series, but I wouldn't give it more than 4 stars, out of a possible 5.

I think I will do a more in depth review of the series sometime, but for now I will try to finish the short story. I hope to get a decent night's rest tonight, so I'll have more energy tomorrow.

Unpacking

Daily goal: 500 words.
Yesterday I wrote 0 words.
Sundays/Stories Finished: 1/0.

Writing the stats above - which have lost their formating since I have switched to writing these post with my Galaxy Tab, a change that also has deprived my of a spellchecker - it would seem odd almost by now to write anything other than a 0 for words written yesterday.

Today went by quickly. I have returned the car we borrowed while moving, we have cleaned the bedroom, and a number of boxes have been opened and unpacked, their contents sorted and stored.

Again I feel very tired writing this. I will not follow my blog update with any more literary pursuits, just sleep - good sleep, hopefully.
