So far…
Well, dear readers, it has been an exciting week in my world. From going engagement ring shopping to finally setting the firmest date for a wedding thus far, you can imagine I haven’t had much of a head for writing. Well, I have solutions for that.
When I find I can’t write, for various reasons, I either edit my work or organize it. When I’m not in the mood for editing my work, I either work on my writing or organize my writing projects. When I’m all organized, I either write or edit.
A circle of three which has worked for me for ages.
Anyway, with all these goings on, things are shaping up like this:
Contest Piece
1,366/4,000 = 34,15%
Novel One - X
~1,000/80,000 = 1.25%
NaNo Novel (no, I didn’t finish on time) 
31,984/50,000 = 63.968%
Add on top of that, an endless number of one page projects started, story ideas just waiting to be written, and manuscripts waiting for an edit. Plus, I have been trying to get ahead on this blog.
All in all, I’m fairly proud of myself. Now if someone could point me to a cheap, simple wedding dress, I’ll be set! Maybe I’ll wander over to Wedding Tactics.
I’d love to know how your writing is going, if you care to post a comment. 
Remember, through the rest of the month, one of your comments could mean $500 dollars in your pocket.

Writing? Hah!
I barely seem to have enough time for eating and sleeping. (Made mistake of taking too many too hard classes this semester…ooops)
Writing’s going to have to wait, I guess.

That’s when you knock it down to just ten minutes a day.
Write while you’re brushing your teeth.

Most of my writing recently has just been my portions of the RPGs on Chaos Sword. I wish my creativity would come back. It seems I’m lacking inspiration recently.

Maybe you should check out my posts on writers block.
Truly, though, no worries. All else fails write what you know - what’s going on in your life put to characters.

Sadly, my NaNoNovel only made it to 3,100 words before collapsing on Dec. 1st. RIP “Battle Royale (working title)”.

Oh the Happy Congratulations dance that I am doing for you.
Dare I ask after the date?
In the writing arena, I’ve been helping a friend with a book (other than the one she’s *supposed* to be writing. Oops.) and now that I’m on vacation, I’m thinking I may get some non-blogging writing done.

Dana - No worries. You can set yourself a challenge at any time, really. I’d be happy to try to find some people to do it with you.
Elisa - March 3rd. Coming up fast.
On vacation? That sounds like fun - and like a great opportunity to relax and get something done.

how my writing is going? well, i spend most of my day at work writing on various blogs, only to watch the internet crash down around me and delete them all.
otherwise, the writing is going good! every day i find more and more time to do the things i love, and with writing being one of them i find i’m challenging myself to find the little moments in every day that are worth writing about.
like the site!

Oh, I hate when that happens. That sort of thing gets one addicted to the save button.
I’m glad you’re writing is going well!

Congrats on the engagement,
Best wishes!

Many thanks!
There’s been a change to the date, though - It’s now May 5th.
