Off To An Unproductive Start

My wordcount is terrible!  I used to be a day behind, now I’m several days behind, and I just can’t get myself to write.  I will catch up, though.  I mean, look at last year.  I was a few days behind on the Giant Prehistoric Novel, and still managed to win a day or two early.  So with 2 novels, it’ll be no problem to catch up.

  • Mermaid Pact: Currently at 2,488.  Definitely behind, especially since I didn’t work on it yesterday.  But my goal is to be at 8,335 by the time Monday rolls around.  That means I’ll have to do a lot of writing today and tomorrow, but I swear I’ll be at 8,335.  And this is in addition to the writing I have to do for the other one.  Maybe some kind of punishment/reward system?  I’ll think about it.
  • The Mistaken Identity one: I am currently at 2,712, and will be at 8,335 by Monday!  I managed to write around 1300 words, which is good.  That certainly is a lot of writing, but I can do it.  What am I if not a word-writing ninja?

This leaves me with a total of 5,200 words, which means I need to write 11,470 words today and tomorrow.  Let’s see, that averages out to 5,735 words today and 5,735 tomorrow.  That’s my primary goal, but I might work on just one this weekend, and get caught up, and then work on the other one right after that…or I could aim for 8,335 but be okay with 6,668 each. 

I’ll definitely have an interesting weekend.
