#wordcountwednesday

Yes, I know this is a big difference from the amount I accomplished last week! But since I've finished converting the old draft I had, this week has been about planning and working on ways to fill in the gaps... #wordcountwednesday #amwriting https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzu8AKkJJWw/?igshid=z3ht41uja661

So...I promised myself I wasn't going to touch the first draft with a ten foot pole until it went through phase one of beta edits...I lied. That probably lasted about a day before I thought of some things I really wanted to fix, adjust, or just plain add. It's not a big change, but still, I'm happy with the modifications I've made! #wordcountwednesday #amwriting #writersofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/B0lIycogDl7/?igshid=1lyxiiytpn28y

Pretty happy with what I accomplished in a week that was full of real life busyness! This draft is going to be even longer than I predicted... #wordcountwednesday #amwriting #progress https://www.instagram.com/p/B0BFAcOA45Z/?igshid=1xp6bh200tgp1

I'm very, very excited to announce that this Word Count Wednesday, you're seeing the length of the complete first draft! I finished yesterday and the draft has already been sent to several of my beta readers for the first round of feedback. It's a long way from finished but this is a huge step in the process! #wordcountwednesday #amwriting #firstdraft #writersofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/B0TDGbzAs4H/?igshid=1txu6kkd05r4r

I've officially finished adapting everything I can from the older story this book is based on. Now it's time to get busy on the parts that will be totally new! #wordcountwednesday #amwriting https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzc5iPnJ_VR/?igshid=1mm24qhvh5ma3

My word count is starting out pretty big since I actually have a past version of this story that I'm taking apart and putting back together...There's still plenty of work to be done, though! #wordcountwednesday #amwriting https://www.instagram.com/p/BzK7xcgJSEz/?igshid=x3g4951diuth

It’s #wordcountwednesday in week three of #nanowrimo. Things I’m thinking about this week: first, it appears that it takes me approximately three weeks to fix all the typos in a graphic using this font (ie this font is not Nicole-eye-friendly. Noted.). Also, am I giving credit where credit is due. According to my word count I am right under 19K words. Some of the members of the @stopwritingalone #happycampersclub say I should be counting read words since I am in revision mode being a rebel. My word count is, currently, the number of words in my latest draft. I don’t know why this is the counting technique I have selected this year. Questions for you: 1. What’s your word count today? And 2. What’s your counting technique this year? #amwriting #amrevising #stopwritingalone #nanowrimo2021 #podcastforwriters #writechat https://www.instagram.com/p/CWYMKPerCU1/?utm_medium=tumblr

It’s #NaNoWriMoWEEKONE and I am already pulling out the #wordcountwednesday? YOU BETCHA! All you have to do today is #BEpositive. In math terms that means ANYTHING MORE THAN ZERO WORDS IS A WIN! Can you do that? If you haven’t done it yet, the day isn’t over! Get writing. Embrace the wonderful messiness that is drafting your glorious new creation. Let nothing get in your way and just get those words on the page! #StopWritingAlone by sharing in the comments and letting us know how you are doing. Are you struggling to #BEpositive this week either numerically or energetically? What support do you need? This isn’t just a writing group (definition: a bunch of people who call themselves writers in close proximity to one another), this is a #writingcommunity (definition: a gathering of writers who gather together intentionally for mutual growth and support in their writing process). There is a difference, and you can be a part of that difference by engaging with that intention! #nanowrimo #writinginspiration #writinglife #stopwritingalonehappycampers #amwriting #nanowrimo2021 https://www.instagram.com/p/CV04sH8rARU/?utm_medium=tumblr
