The Cottage of Blog WORD COUNTS ON WIP
The Cottage of Blog
I thought it was time to update my word count on this new romantic suspense. I'm aiming for Intrigue, but no matter how many I read (and I read a lot) I'm never sure if my voice is consistent with "their" voice. However:
The total word count for our assignments: 5,146 for 9 days
The total word count for the novel from the beginning : 24,781
Not nearly enough to reach my goal.
Some of this is a mess. Many of the sections need to be integrated with other scenes, others deleted entirely. The story is evolving. Characters are changin, as are their attitudes. My approach to writing is evolving. Each section/scene/sequel I write now has a purpose, the scenes have goals, motivations and dsiasters planned before hand. Should be lots of fun tryng to connect.
But, anyway that's my update. I am progressing, but way too slowly. So, in the famous words of Gary Gilmore "Let's get on with it."
Cheers
Pat

Keep at it and Good Luck with it all. I'm off to sleep which may explain why I'm stuck in the mud.
