Writing Journal 10.6.2019: Keeping busy just a little more than before, and that’s OK

This is going to be a pretty brief entry.

There’s not too many writing updates from last week. I think I was writing steadily this week, just a few fewer words than the previous week, but except for one day that I just took off, there was some good work in there.

No special reports on projects, although I did do a bit of planning on Project F (my original fantasy project) using Wonderdraft. I have to admit that I have not read a lot of sci-fi/fantasy-specific advice about writing, even though these genres have been part of my reading life ever since the beginning. One of my personal observations is that once you create a world and can see it, certain things can suggest themselves to you, like how people live, what political structures might exist, and so on. I keep saying that I need to do a review of Wonderdraft and I’m getting closer to actually doing it. It’s a fantastic tool that I think I will keep using for planning purposes, especially any other sci-fi and-or fantasy projects I tackle.

OK, the stats are below. Have a good writing week, everyone.

+8,210 words written.

Days writing: 6 of 7.

Days revising/planning: 2 of 7 for 150 total minutes.

Daily Writing Goals Met (500+ words or 30 minutes of planning/revisions): 6 of 7 days.
