ROW80 Check-In 10/29/14

October 29, 2014 by Lauralynn Elliott

I’ve written two days this week for a total of a little over 1100 words. I was trying to shoot for 5000 words a week, but since I sort of fell out of love with my WIP, I’ve backed off a little to regroup. It’s coming back together, but I’m not going to push too hard. If I get 2500-3000 this week, I’m okay with that. There it is, short and sweet!

The words are secondary to the story you want to tell. Best to get the story to where you fall in love with it again than to end up beating your head against the wall with something you don’t like.

  I agree, John. If the words aren’t worth writing, then I’m wasting my time. I’m slowly getting back into the story, so there’s hope. I’m just writing out of my normal genre and out of my comfort zone. But I think that’s good for our writing muscles!

How are things going now on the story? Are things getting easier?

  It’s getting better. I had a setback when I felt bad those few days, but I hope I’ll be completely back on track this week.
