I neglected to do this last Tuesday, when both the weekly and monthly writing update was due, so I'm doing double duty this post.
Last week I managed to fall quite behind on my target, writing just four words on one of the days. Granted, it's four more words than I had previously, but it's still not good - especially since there were two other days I did not hit my goal at all. Of those days, I did not even make it to half of the daily goal.
It was not a good writing week last week. Here are the numbers:
Word count goal: 5 000
Actual word count:3 467
Word count goal: 20 000
Actual word count: 17 301
Granted, there was (and is) a lot of upheaval going on around me still, so it stands to reason that I wouldn't be able to write nearly as well as when things are better. Still, I'm quite disappointed in myself regarding April's numbers. Better luck for May, let's hope.
Speaking of May, the first week is over and I find myself once again a little short of my goal. Here's the numbers for that:
Word count goal: 5 000
Actual word count: 4 762
But what can you do but shrug and continue on. I'm behind, but still going forward. I'll get there. For now, all I can do is keep striving. So, strive I shall.
Ciao.
