Today was not a super big writing day, but I did make some progress with my harry potter fanfic, so it wasn’t a total loss.  I think today I was in the mentality of oh, I’m a day ahead, I don’t have to worry about writing too much.  and combined with having trouble with my harry potter novel, it was really hard getting any writing done.  Plus, the weather’s ridiculously hot right now, and it has the effect of me not wanting to do anything.  But all things considering, I managed to get nearly a day ahead for one of my novels, and started to get caught up with harry potter, like I said earlier. 

Secret Service: 6696; I haven’t worked on this one today, but I’m pretty sure I’ll manage to write around 1000 words today.

Harry Potter: 1670; i’m having the worst trouble starting it off, so I may have to take a different approach, and jump to life at hogwarts, with vague sentences about different stuff that happens over the summer.

2006 sequel: 7868; I’ve managed to get ahead almost a day, although I did get to a point where I wanted to add on but just couldn’t get myself writing, so I used Write Or Die.  It really is a great resource, and while I don’t use it all the time, it’s great to use when I need it.

Total words: 16234

I’m 3770 words off schedule, but I have no doubt that I’ll be able to catch up with the Giant Prehistoric Chicken.  A change in approach may be what jumpstarts it.  I can always write the beginning later in the month.  This is why I love doing multiple novels- no matter what, I always have something to work on, and it’s really helpful and times like this, when I have trouble starting off.
