Forget the Sun Metrics 09


Progress Bar from Writertopia

METRICS
New Words: 636
Chapter One total: 2111
Chapter Two total: 2226
Total words for the first draft: 4337
What I hate about my writing: Never enough free time.
The Good: I got a fair chunk of writing time during the weekend. I would have preferred more of that rather than the painful blister I got on my foot, but it is what it is.
The Bad: March 8th: Today I noticed my pattern. I didn't get my writing time since I had to pay bills this morning. Today at the paying job, it has been hard to get my grove on the story. So even when I think I'm not accomplishing anything because I spend 15 minutes in Google looking for a character's image, it pays off later in the day.

March 11th: Packed my purse with everything I needed for the day and left it at home.

March 12th: I typed up all the rough draft I had written from the weekend.
Fave line: "That was my only recital. I barely got through 'Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.'"
What I'm looking forward to: IF my finances go well and I don't run into major issues with car or house, I'm buying a laptop so I don't have to deal with second-hand smoke through my papers.
What I'm not looking forward to: Going through all the images I've found of a major location stand-in.
