Writing my novel, day 5

Filed under: Novel writing — Tags: writing my novel — admin @ 6:49 pm

Nothing got written yesterday and today hasn’t been much better (a few hundred words).

I need to get my act together and make writing part of my daily routine. It’s said that it takes around a fortnight until something becomes habit. Maybe longer if you’re a “natural” procrastinator as I seem to be.

But I intend to get there, even if 28 days is a bit optimistic for me!

Writing my novel, day 3

Filed under: Novel writing — Tags: writing my novel — admin @ 7:33 pm

OK, I’ve spent about an hour writing today. Word count is just under 2,500 and the characters have introduced themselves to each other.

My typing speed is nowhere near fast enough – will need to either speed up, take longer or delve through my CD collection and see if I can find where I’ve put my copy of Dragon Naturally Speaking that I didn’t get round to installing when I changed PC.

I’m going to skip the progress upload today but hopefully will be back on track tomorrow.
