Starfall is coming along! Progress reports…
Since people keep asking (and also to keep me honest–and motivated!) I’ve decided to start posting my daily/ weekly progress on the writing of Starfall, which will be the fourth (and final, I’m pretty sure!) book in the Starstruck series. It’s looking like it will be sort of a 3-part book (not 3 books, just divided into “parts”) and I’m nearing the end of part 1. Of course, in first draft mode, everything is still subject to change!
Anyway, the writing has been going well. As you can see in the picture above, I do most of my writing on a treadmill, which seems to help both my creativity and my back/hips/knees compared to sitting. So I track my progress not only in pages, but also in miles walked at my desk. For a writing day to “count” (my own rule), I have to either write a full page or walk a full mile (say, while revising)–though most days I do much more than that. For example, this past week:
Monday – 5 new pages written, 3.35 miles walked
Tuesday – 10 new pages written, 4.75 miles walked
Wednesday – 3 new pages, 2.3 miles walked (Taekwondo and grocery shopping day)
Thursday – 8 new pags, 6.1 miles walked (and my knees kind of hated me that evening)
Friday – 4 new pages, 3 miles walked
Saturday – 8 new pages, 4.1 miles walked
I’ll post more updates in the comments, so if you want to see how it’s going (or ask questions–I promise NO SPOILERS) this is the place! 🙂
