And, I’m back.
I had a big piece I was working on a good portion of last week, a combination of a short story and historical fiction tied to to my new book The Yank Striker: A Footballer’s Beginning. It was an endurance contest but a fun one, and other than being some new material for the blog, it gave me a far clearer idea about the history and background of the world I’m writing in. I’d definitely recommend it as a world building exercise.
As a result, I wound up having my most productive writing week for the year to date. For the first time, I broke the 8,000-word barrier in a single week. That’s a good thing for me – it’s such a good number there’s no pressure on me to match it. That’s probably a good thing, since I’ll be on the road a couple of days this week, so my writing might be a bit limited. Still, I’m hoping my numbers are looking good by the end of this week.
Anyway, here’s the stats. Next week, I’ll do a separate report of how I’ve been doing for the first half of 2023, productivity-wise. See all of you then.
Writing statistics for the week ending 24 June 2023:
8,292 words written.
Days writing: 6 of 7.
Days revising/planning: 1 of 7 for 240 total minutes.
Daily Writing Goals Met (500+ words or 30 minutes of planning/revisions): 7 of 7 days.
