Check-in: I've written 6k since the last check-in. Visit the other participants here.
Since Wednesday, I've written 3k on one WIP and 3k on another. Half of that was this morning so I feel like I could have worked a lot harder, but sleep took priority over writing this week. :) I wrote a ginormous blog post and deleted it, the gist being how tired I was of working in the same genre for the last few months. I'm going to try and divide my time and allow myself to work on other things when I get bored. Problem solved.
By the way, my new 4yr old had the best birthday ever on Friday (judging by the amount of snuggles, I love yous and thanks I got) and I still have star shaped marks all over my skin from where I was decorated with a million tiny stickers that I somehow didn't notice my children sticking to me on Saturday. Please let them stay fun when they're in their teens - I'll have five teenagers at the same time someday so wish me luck.
Impressive and two wips on the go. it' good to try other things you can only grow as a writer.
ReplyDeleteWow - hat's a lot of writing. Congrats! I can't speak for all teenagers - I only have one. She just turned 13. So far, we're still budds. Happy about that!
ReplyDeleteWow, very impressive! Congrats...and it's good that you enjoyed your daughter's birthday and even got some sleep....
ReplyDeleteHere's my ROW 80
Brilliant and congratulations on your more than successful week!
ReplyDeleteCongratulation on the writing!
ReplyDelete5 children and you still find the time to write that much? Wow! I only have a cat and I find it hard work!(not the writing, the keeping her quiet so I can concentrate) *joke*
all the best on the five teenager bit - and well done on the writing - what do you do throw them in the garden all day - where do you find the time?!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! :)
ReplyDeleteWhoa! You're a writing machine! Those stars mean something. ;)
ReplyDeleteImpressive writing accomplishments this week. Congrats! But even more impressive: FIVE kids who will be teenagers at the same time??? FIVE??? I barely survived two...and then we added a foster kid and I nearly went insane. LOL My hat's off to you. ;-)
ReplyDeleteClaire "The Machine" Farrell. That's what I'm calling from now on. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteYou've all popped out of the woodwork today. :) Thanks for the comments and reassurances!
ReplyDelete@ Cathryn, that makes me feel soooo much better. I've been my daughter's favourite person her whole life, I don't know how I would cope falling out of her favour in her teens.
@ Andrew, not the girliest nickname ever but thanks. ;)
Re: the kids - I tend to write at night mostly. The older two are in school and playschool and the baby naps every now and then plus the twins are very happy to get up to mischief together - and my OH is very good at giving me some quiet time to write so I have it pretty easy, to be honest. Considering how early my kids go to bed (and how lazy I am about domesticated stuff), I should be getting a lot more writing done.
You've got a point about the name. I'll have to think it over and get back to you.
ReplyDeleteMy I suggest Claire "The Machina" Farrell? It's a tad more feminine. :) Awesome job this week!!
ReplyDeleteI hear ya on the genre thing, I've seriously been considering writing something where not a single character has a power or the fate of the world hanging over their heads.
Just a tad, Stacey. ;)
ReplyDeleteYeah, between writing it and reading it, I feel like I may have overdosed on the genre slightly.
Looking forward to seeing what you come up with, Andrew!
Hey Claire - so glad you got some sleep!!! Sounds like you are on a terrific roll, and bonus! Star stickers!! Sounds like things are on the uptick over there :-) Hope next week is just as awesome as this one.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work!

Five, wow! I'm overwhelmed by two at the moment so I can hardly imagine! And yet, you still manage to be productive. You go momma. :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the pile of words and on all the stickers - that sounds like a fun day! [g]
ReplyDeleteThanks all. The star stickers made me sound even less professional than normal, right? :P
