So far this week hasn’t been the best week for writing. Between working late most nights, and going out for a “couple” of beers my timing and motivation have been bad. Friday night I ended up at the casino and didn’t get home till 6am, and I was still drunk when I woke up on Saturday. I spent the entire day just lying on the sofa, watching TV and falling asleep at regular intervals.

At the moment my current word count is 15,302 which is really far behind where I want to be. By the 22nd I need to be at 35K but unless I have a huge writing session I’m not going to make it.

I’ve been doing my usual “I’ll do it later” bullshit which when I realise I’m doing it, I get pretty annoyed with myself and write a few hundred words.

I’m at a bit of a lull in the current chapter, basically It’s a transition section between an important plot setup and the actual event. I have to tie up a few things before I can move the characters on to a part of the story that should be fun to write. Basically when I get to that point I fully expect the word count to rocket up.

Well I best get back to it. This quick piece of procrastination is over. I’ll post another update on Wednesday

Update

I’ve managed to get a decent amount done since I initially wrote this post. Now I’m sitting on 17,362 words, and I want to get to the end of the current scene which should take me up to at least 18,000 tonight.
