I just hate it when I have a lousy week writing-productivity-wise when I had such a good week before that.
Here’s the stats for last week:
Writing statistics for the week ending 13 September 2025:
Words: 3,454
Days writing: 6 of 7.
Days revising or planning: 0 of 7 for 0 minutes.
Daily Writing Goals Met (500+ words or 30 minutes of planning/revisions): 5 of 7 days.
I think what I have to do is whenever I sit in front of the computer, I have to write something. I have to get out of the habit of thinking I have to write every story I have in a linear manner. And I can’t stress out trying to make things quality or even passable when I write it out for the first time. I get caught up in that trap too often, and it took a few random comments in the world of Bookthreads to wake me up to how I need to be tackling things. This sure isn’t the 5,000 words per week I was shooting for, but all I can do nowadays is adjust what I’m trying to do, try something different, and get back on it.
I spent much of last week going between my sequel to my debut novel, The Holy Fool (Currently called The Fool 2), and the next book in the The Yank Striker series. I might get into those other dormant projects I talked about last week.
That’s it for now. Take care, everyone.
