I haven't had too much time to write in this blog, but for a great reason: I've been writing, instead! I finished two short stories in the past few weeks, and I've worked consistently. Because of that, I haven't wanted to stop my mojo and post here.
Which brings me to a conundrum: I initially started this blog so that I would write more consistently, the whole point being that I had to write every day so that I could post the number of words written every day.
But now I'm way beyond that. I don't need this blog anymore to get my writing done. And as it hasn't been a stop for other writers to post their word count, I'm wondering if it serves a purpose at all anymore.
Maybe I'll post here once a month, or once every few weeks, instead. Or maybe I'll just delete the blog altogether. We'll see.
At any rate:
The word count for those two short stories, plus my WIP, for the last few weeks:
Approximately 20K-25K, at a guess. Not bad for me, for the past five weeks or so.

Week Ending Sunday, April 26, 2015
Chapter 53.
949 words.
More to come today, but it's 2:41 a.m., so I should probably sleep.
...Okay, did that.
Chapter 54.
2,105 words.
So over 3,000 for this day so far.
I hope to finish Chapter 55 tonight.
So exhausted I'm making silly mistakes and the words aren't coming like they do. I even made some saving errors, which is really bad. But...
For the week (drumroll, please):
Chapter 49 = 689 words.
Chapter 50 = 372 words.
Chapter 51 = 3,002 words.
Chapter 52 = 803 words.
Query letters = 224 words.
Chapter 53 = 949 words.
Chapter 54 = 2,105 words.
Chapter 55 = 396 words.
Chapter 56 = 509 words.
Chapter 57 = 79 words.
9,128 words! YES!!! I can't tell you how great this feels. And it even felt great doing it.
And now vacation ends. I really, really hope I can produce even half this much during a workweek.

Week Ending March 22, 2015
One poem today: 246 words.
1,345 words on Wednesday.
1,345 + 246 = 1,591.
Assorted almost-sent query letters would round it up to 2,000 words for the week.
Not very good, but considering the week I had, especially at work...
I'm not feeling bad about it.
One finished short story, and one finished poem, and a few finished query letters.
Really not bad for the week I had, and I've done much worse than this.
I'll do better. I must do better.
But I'll definitely take 2,000 words for this week, and those finished pieces.

Struggling through an obviously-oncoming cold:
Chapter 20 of novel.
670 words.
Three finished pages. Short chapter.
Not much, but not bad, through congesting sinuses and sinus pressure, especially behind my cheeks, my eyes and my forehead. Hopefully I'm all right by Thanksgiving.
Feel free to leave your word count or page count below.
May we all write well, and often.
