What’s Your Word Count?
Word Count Wednesday
It was another day of Write-ins. Every Wednesday in November I host four write-ins and have found another, hosted by
that fit into my schedule. I’m taking my current project very slow, so for anyone participating in NaNoWriMo, my word count for the month should boost your confidence!
Word Count Wednesday
i took my word count photo early in the day, so it doesn’t capture my final word count (just over 7,000), but it also doesn’t capture my great writing mishap of the day. Heaven help me, somewhere in write-in three of the day I started writing in third person POV instead of first person POV and I didn’t catch it until I was in write-in four of the day. This divergence accounts for at least 1.000 words of my writing and a major need to step away for the night and regroup in the morning!

I am currently with an editor but I feel like I may need to add more content. It's sci-fi romance related, and I believe those manuscripts are at least 75,000 words. lol Any advice?

We’re doing some unexpectedly intense repair on a bathroom, so the writing happens at night. Last night there were two pages of the letter “j” before I woke up and lifted my finger.
