My day job totally got in the way of my productivity this week. It was bat-shit-crazy.
Remember last week when I was all pumped to write my next scene? Well, that didn’t happen until Saturday night.
Wednesday is an off night for writing. I was still having neck and shoulder pain from my fall the other week. I went to yoga and my body felt so tight. It was like I was a newbie all over again. I went home that night, had dinner, watched some writer vlogs and read.
Thursday and Friday had big plans. But no. I was so exhausted for ten-billion things going wrong at work. I had fried my brain, so no writing. I let Thursday be an off day as well because I wrote my blog on Tuesday, so that’s technically still a word count. And Friday I took some Skillshare classes, so I kept my mind on writing… at least.

It flips POV between her character, Gabby, and a male character, Noah. There is no change in voice for the characters. I find myself having to flip back pages to work out which character I am reading from. It honestly feels like I am reading a first draft, not a book near release. The characters don’t know what to do next, and seem to hate everything they are doing. I’ll give it the other half to win me over, but I would have put this book down before I reached 100 pages.
I crushed some scenes over the weekend. I’ve found writing in reverse order has worked wonders. I use Scrivener, so this is easy to do. Sometimes knowing the outcome makes it easy to write the events leading up to it. I woke up at 2am on Saturday and wrote the scene I wanted to write on Tuesday. Not on purpose. But I was awake and wanted to catch up. A few thousand words later, and I’m still meeting my weekly goal.

I don’t really have any specific goals for next week. Sticking to my May & June goals is all I care about. They easily keep me on track.
