Writing Consistency=RESULTS!

Nothing is more natural than creativity.

After all, it was from our Creator Himself from whom we get this gift.  And just as everything God created is unique, so is the creative journey for every person who pursues it.

January and February of this year have been my most consistent writing months ever.

Not only does it feel GRRRRREAT! (I'm hearing Tony the Tiger's voice in my head as I write this. *-) but it also means I'm seeing tangible, visible results.

By completing today's word count, I just hit the 90k mark in this manuscript.  By end of March, I will be completing its first draft, about 15 months after starting it.  Big time goal, since my first manuscript, the one before this, was 6 YEARS in the making.

So if you want to write, DON'T GIVE UP and WRITE CONSISTENTLY, whatever consistently means to you and your schedule.  For me that means getting words on paper every day, even if on some days it's only 20-50 words.  It helps you process your story so much better to chip away at it routinely.

NovelTrack: Status Update

January is fast drawing to a close. So, too, are the number of days left for reaching my goal of writing 50,000 words by January 31st toward my next manuscript. Here's the stats:

Total Words To Date: 45,015 words
Words Remaining: 4,985
Percent Complete: 90%

I had hoped to complete my remaining word count by today, but after the beautiful day I had on Monday, life has resumed it's hectic pace.

Still, I believe I will meet my goal. I still have 4 writing days left in the month. This has been an awesome experience for me. I'll go into more detail in a future post.
