On Monday I didn’t do any work really, but did jot down a few ideas I had for editing Twenty-Five. Not much, but thinking about edits is better than nothing at all.
On Tuesday I began editing my first chapter of Twenty-Five. I worked on incorporating the first scene I took out and making it less of a backstory information dump by weaving the character stuff into the dialogue of Abigail’s birthday party with her family. I’m hoping it works better, but we’ll just have to see.
On Wednesday I wrote a little of The Death Effect. About three notebook pages, which is probably like a page and a half typed. Again, not a lot, but even a little momentum is better than none.
On Thursday, I did nothing! I had to work at the orthodontist’s all day and then had event review for a wedding in the evening. Didn’t leave much time for anything else 😦
On Friday, I did nothing again! I had plenty of time because the only thing I did work wise was the final update of the timeline for the wedding and then the actual rehearsal for the wedding. But I took some much needed ME time. I’ve been working non-stop the past couple of weeks, so it was nice not to do anything.
Saturday, sadly, nothing. I had the wedding most of the day, though, and was too tired and mentally drained to do anything productive when I got home, so I just watched a marathon of Friends. Freaking amazing show.
Today, I opened up Twenty-Five and tried to figure out how to end my new/old chapter one. Everything I typed didn’t work, so I tried to move on to chapter two, with the hope of coming back, but then my sister, who lives two hours away, came over because she was getting her hair done by our other sister, and we ended up going out to dinner. I just got back and I’m going to go work on chapter two. I’m worried because I’ve decided to take Abigail’s POV of the car accident out completely. Probably a crazy idea because I got great feedback on it, but I think I’m bogging the story down by having the accident in both her’s and Ben’s POVs, and I just finished a chapter in her’s, so I need to have his now to keep the voices even. If it sucks, I can always go back to the other version.
So that was my week in writing. I hope you had more success!
I Picked Up a Pen One Day... 
Not really, had to go to London then to Canterbury last Thursday and my whole routine was broken, couldn’t put down a single word for 4 days then when I sat back on my desk yesterday morning, I just couldn’t get into the story- that was really nerve racking!
Thank heavens this morning was a little better but from now on, no more stopping for more than 2 days for me 🙂
Hope this week will be a better one for both of us!
I want to go to London and Caterbury!!!! London is my dream place- the place I want to go more than anywhere else in the world. I want to go there so bad I sent my MC there for 8 months in the second half of my book.
I know what you mean about not being able to get into the story when you actually have time to write- happens to me all the time. Good luck this week!
