While the beginning of this week started really well it went downhill towards the end. I should focus on the things that went well rather than beating myself up about perceived lack of progress, but this challenge is proving harder than I thought.
This time last week I was playing catch up. Today I’m still not quite where I ‘should’ be if I were keeping up to my daily word counts, but I’m further along than I thought I would be, which is handy.
As of today, but chart looks like this:

This includes two short stories I wrote in the middle of last week and some flash fiction I hammered together. Since then I’ve been pretty focused on editing (making it very difficult to record new words) but since I’m getting items submitted to various places I can’t really complain.
This week I imagine that I’ll struggle to keep up the pace. I still feel rather poorly and I have to give more attention to The Write Feeling to get some work in. I also have more family visiting this week (woop!) so it’s going to be another busy one.
Meanwhile, the rest of the 15k crowd are still quietly plugging away. Why not hop over to them to see how they’re getting on?

Writing: A Conversation Without Interruptions 
Hi Leah. You have nothing to beat yourself up for. You’re doing great. Writing regularly AND submitting stuff – what’s not to like?! I have had a very unproductive few days but hope to get things back on track tonight.

Thanks hon. I guess I shouldn’t be so hard on myself. And you’ll be fine; I know you can do it!

You’re doing great! Come the end of the month you’re going to feel very satisfied with your output, and you’ll have achieved lots of those mini goals too!

My problem is that I didn’t really have a main goal to start with. But now I know what I’m trying to do I feel a little better about it. Which is good. đŸ™‚

Sounds like you’re doing really well! Editing is always hard to quantify, but it’s great to get it done. Good luck with the submissions.
