Video Update #2

Tuesday Night

Well, I have been working hard on the novel, I am close to 42.5 thousand words right now and I have managed to finish my typed word count for the rest of the month, not that I will stop typing it out. I am hoping to get to 50 thousand by the end of three weeks, but I have been derailed a lot the last couple of weeks.

I ended up working in a quarantine zone that made my job more difficult due to having to disinfect everything, plus not feeling very well myself. My right wrist has been acting up either form an old injury or from the beginnings of carpel tunnel. Very fun week over all I would say…

Tired but updating

So I have not updated in a little while due to working hard on the novel and having some issues with work. A resident at my work (I work in an assisted living and independent living facility) developed whooping cough, which is a pretty nasty disease. I happen to be one of the only people in the whole building who is naturally immune to it since I had it when I was 6 years old. So that has been fun… O.K. not really.

The book, on the other hand, has been going great. I am over 41,000 words, which means I am over 4/5th the way through the originally word count! I have 73 days left to finish the novel so I can have a decent amount of time off before NaNoWriMo. I am hoping to plan a lot of the novel out so it is more like filling in the blanks instead of plowing through 1667 words a day.

Well it is mad late here and I have work tomorrow so it is time to go to bed.

Inspiration for the week: 2 Corinthians 4:8
"We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair."

So i have not been feeling all that great lately so I not make my word count tonight but I plan on trying... maybe. I have been having some nasty headaches and feeling sluggish. It would be nice if I felt better so I can focus on writing instead of wanting to sit in my recliner and do nothing like I pretty much am right now.

Edit as of 1:44 the next morning

So I missed my word count for the day but I made up for it already and managed to finish the typed word count for today as well. I have added another 300-400 words (i have not counted them yet but it is several pages) to chapter 15 where the protagonist is meeting with my version of the Mad Hatter who is nothing like the one released with Johnny Depp. Hopefully I will like the ending of this part of the book as much as i have been so far but we will see, my guess is this will be the most bizarre section of the book.

Over 38,000!

Updated word count

37267(ish) which means that I am close to being 4/5 the way through my original word count! Now the question is just how long is this thing going to end up being? I am only half way through the story I want to write, if that, so maybe 60,000 to 70,000 is a much more realistic number. I was really hoping to take August off from writing but that might not be the case if this ends up being a longer book.

Either way 37,000+ is an amazing word count for me! I am excited and very tired at the same time... hopefully falling asleep will not be as hard as I think.

Up again

All day my brain has hurt from staying up all night and writing. Now I am up, yet again, after 2am and my brain will not shut off. I do not know what the deal is but now I am ready to start writing again but I need sleep. On top of that I am taking a few days off of creating new content for the novel, I might do a little planning and outlining but that will be all.

Judah's webcomic has a video up talking about the post that he made and he said I should try it and I just might. Maybe the next time I need to rant or ramble I just might do it.
