This will be short because I want to get writing on my projects and not how unproductive I’ve been.
Even though my numbers were still rubbish last week, they were my best numbers for at least five weeks. And I can at least partially blame having to get a new laptop set up for part of this slowness.
Here’s the stats:
Writing statistics for the week ending 7 March 2026:
Words: 3,870
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): 6 of 7 days.
Not that I’m happy with those stats, but I’d have been happier to have five straight weeks of those numbers rather than the lower ones I actually had.
I’ve tried to get going on a sci-fi environmental horror project with the working title of The Land, The River, and The Waste, (I am so superstitious about revealing a real title until I am closer to publishing), set in a little Mississippi River town in Iowa. I need to cut out more dialogue and get to people howling at each other.
Have a good week everyone, and all you writers keep writing.
