Time to see how I did for the week:
I added 5,752 words this week, just 248 shy of my goal. Woohoo!
I have a total of 25,254 words written in my work in progress.
More importantly, I slogged through my major slump and learned something important about my novel. Of course. I always seem to struggle most right before I discover something significant. I have a few ideas that I can work into my novel that will help me around some of the issues I've been having. I'm a little closer to figuring out who my main character. I'm not going to panic if I don't really know her yet; Leo Tolstoy took several revisions to come up with his Anna Karenina.
Um, did I just compare myself to Tolstoy? Sorry about that. *blush*
Overall, I'm pleased at the progress I've been able to make this week, especially in spite of dealing with the unexpected and unpleasant (a root canal).
Here's hoping I get into a nice rhythm this upcoming week! It would be nice to surpass my goal for once.
"Everybody has a secret world inside of them. All of the people of the world, I mean everybody. No matter how dull and boring they are on the outside, inside them they've all got unimaginable, magnificent, wonderful, stupid, amazing worlds. Not just one world. Hundreds of them. Thousands maybe" ~ Neil Gaiman (A Game of You)

Only 248 short of your goal is great! I hope last weekend went well and that your MC emerged more clearly.
Thanks for a chuckle over your Tolstoy comment ;)
