Well now that...

over a month has passed since my last entry I guess I should give an update. I didn't reach my 50k word goal. Hit around 35k. I think next time I try this I will move my computer to another room. There's just too many distractions where I've been trying to write. It was hard to stay focused.

I did discover that it was easier for me to write more late at night then early in the day. I think my inner editor goes to sleep before the rest of me does.

The other big stumbling block I hit was that the plot I came up with didn't offer much opportunity for dialogue early on. And conversations is where the word-count usually really takes off for me.

So while I didn't reach my goal I did learn alot from the experience. Even more than I did the first time. I'm pretty confident now that next time I will hit 50k.
