Wake up, wake up! DID YOU WRITE this week? If you knew this note was coming, you likely did, just so you could say you did. This is a place to brag about your accomplishments, cry about your failures, and to otherwise tell about what is going on in your life.
Each week, I tell about what writing can be. I am running late so I will skip the list this time. Just remember that editing is writing.
Yes, I wrote this week. I dug into my Waxy birth story some more. Not as much as I wanted, but did a lot of writing, for me. I did some editing while I was at it too. I added two pages, 1674 words. On this, I will glance over the piece and make changes on scenes or paragraphs that bother me, then go forward. I am near the end of the rough draft. That is good. Another writing session should finish it. Then, I have the hard part of creating the story character personalities. I have the situation where waxy sees the story character as two different people. one she loves and the one she gets stuck with. What I have is the main action. I need to spend time writing about the character, taking time in sev3ral scenes to develop his personality. My writing partner suggested a change in the plotting that would help a lot. It would also add more writing. I have already planned This piece started out as a two page bit, and is now at 21 pages. I can easily see it at thirty pages when done.
On the story idea front, I am doing well I have posted 38 story ideas, and have four days to write five story ideas. Should be easy. I have 42 story ideas in my stack to dig into, including tonight's idea. . I am not going to complain about that at all. I have five that really need concentration to write correctly. There is one that is a sherlock Holmes style concept. I picked up the works of sherlock Holmes and want to read it so I can get some flavor of that in this story idea. I have been rushing to get ideas out so I won't take on a long concept knowingly. It is different if they just turn out that way. I will end this month with 43 total posted ideas, and will be caught up for the ones I missed from June (31+31=62, then 62-19=42).

I did write. I did revisions on The Ignored Prophecy,including several new or expanded scenes, and one chapter of Dreamer's Rose.

I performed a quick edit on my novel. Wrote a flash and a short story that didn't turn out too well. And I wrote out a novel idea (2,300 words).
Worked on polishing three short stories and did five critiques for others.

A little...it seemed to go well, but it's not a great deal of material...and it's retyping copy, at any rate, so it's not like creating something new...
But I still like it well enough...I plan to polish it some once I finish, and then send it out.

Yes, I did write! I wrote a 10 page double spaced paper about bone formation and the Lrp5 pathway. Glad to have that done. (Well, okay, so two pages were entirely graphs, but still.) As for creative writing, I got a little bit written in my novel.

I did write a little, probably about 1500 words, maybe less. My WIP has suddenly decided to become uncooperative. I did have another idea, and did a bit more research for another, but I'm still feeling frustrated. We'll see how it goes this week.

Sure did. Got three chapters written to fill in the holes in my story. Just one more chapter and I can finally go back to what I've already written!

Addendum: yesterday, I happened to thumb through the remaining pages of printout draft I was working from---and found the ending was missing! Now I gotta sift through paperwork and files and see if I can turn up that ending, otherwise I'll have to rewrite it...

I restarted Chapter 5 after it took on a direction I didn't like. Besides, who wants to read about some well-off kid and his family when you can read about a broken home, where the Dad has died, the Mom gone loony, and the kid trying to hold it all together.
