A so-so week….
Writing: I only wrote 1748 words this past week. The only bright side to that is that it’s more than twice what I wrote the previous week. But I would really like to write a minimum of 2500, even though my goals are time goals, not word goals. But I do keep up with words. I just wish I could love this WIP. I’m working on that. There are many times I’l start a book, and I just can’t love it, but then after a few chapters, things start working. This one is just slower getting to that point.
Health: I’m on track with exercise. I walked on the treadmill at the gym four days. I ramped it up a little on Friday, going a little faster and a little longer. I’m having some trouble with feet, ankles, and knees, but I’m just working through the pain. If it gets bad, I might have to think about doing something different. It sucks getting older. 😦 I still need to work on my eating habits. I’m doing a little better. I had soup and salad for lunch today, and I didn’t eat it all. Of course, now I’m starving. LOL
And on a topic that has nothing to do with goals…but it’s my blog, so you can either read on or not. LOL I’ve been searching for an actor that I think would be a good fit for my character, John, in Haunted Lake. I’ve never been able to find just that right guy. But I’ve finally found him! Jay Ryan from Beauty and the Beast! Not only does he have the scar (on the show, not in real life), but he has the raspy voice my character has. John actually has more scars than Vincent from BatB, but he is a LOT like I pictured him in my story. I’m so glad to have finally found him! Here’s a link to his picture on IMDB. Jay Ryan as Vincent
What’s new with the rest of you?

Getting closer to your weekly goal, next week I’m sure. 🙂
I hope so, Hubbard!
Hang in there! Yay for finding an image of John. Have a great week. I hope you find the love for the WIP soon. 😉
Thanks, Diana! I’m glad I found the perfect guy to match my character. Oh, I really HOPE I find the love. It’s got to happen soon!
YAY!!! I think you’re doing awesome!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG! Jay Ryan is a hottie!!! 🙂
Thanks, Juli! 🙂 And, oh yeah, he’s definitely a hottie.
Congratulations on getting closer to your word count goal. I understand struggling with finding a way to really enjoy a WIP at times. Writing through it – even though it’s not fun – can be a really eye-opening experience to finding a new facet about it that you can enjoy more.
Hope you find the aspect that you love about it soon. Have a great week!
Thanks, Michael. If I can just figure out some things about this WIP, I can hopefully start enjoying writing it. 🙂
good luck on the love – then your fingers will fly:) all the best for this coming week
Thanks, Alberta, I hope so. 🙂
I was ready to go off searching for a pic but you saved me the trouble. He’s a handsome guy but is Hollywood really telling people he’s a beast? Just seriously, like, seriously. 🙂
He can be a beast with me. Oops, did my husband read that? *looks around*
Lol
Sounds to me like you’re doing great!
