Still working away and being happy with the few paragraphs that are getting done in The Black Orchid. I went to a signing with Lisa Mangum and she said she only gets a few paragraphs written a day during the week so I figure I'm in good company. I've also figured out that I can spend the rest of the day plotting for the rest of the chapter that I'm only getting a few paragraphs done in. I think it's a relief to let myself realize that it's OK to just get a few paragraphs done and not the chapters I want to. Happy Writing!

Every single word is a step in the right direction!
ReplyDeleteI've learned it's best not to set up limits. I do whatever I can that's writing related in a day, and if I miss a day I don't fret.
ReplyDeleteI just met you by cruising through Twitter, which I don't completely understand how to use yet!
I like your novel title: The Black Orchid. Being happy with it is the main thing--enjoying the journey.
