Week ending Sunday, March 29, 2015

Today I finalized 617 words of a so-far three-page poem that I think could be something special. 

I've always liked writing poems and I've been paid for a couple, but I've only sent out those two.  But as I've been researching markets for my stuff--which is what I've been doing most of the week, besides working at home at my job that pays The Man--I've seen a ton of places to send out my many poems.  I won't send them all out, maybe, but...

Well, not much this week, so I'm sure I'll get my butt kicked again.  Very, very frustrating week.

1,000 words earlier this week + 617 words of this poem + about 350 words, just a couple of pages of the next chapter of my almost-finished book.  ::sigh::

So let's just call it an even 2,000 words again this week.  I thought there'd be more.

Next week there will be.

Four pages, 827 words, all of Chapter 24 of WIP.

A kick ass chapter.  Took a few hours, which felt like a few minutes.

1,258 words of what I think is one of my best blogs, ever, at this link: http://stevenebelanger.blogspot.com/2014/02/same-parents-second-faith-healing-death.html.  Oops, now that I look at it, I see I wrote and published this on the 19th.  Oh, well.

Yes, I know that's shameless self-advertising.  And, yes, long blog entries of a good quality count as writing.

And writing over 2,000 words in one day, when I've been struggling to write anything at all, is nothing to sneeze at.
