It’s been about 3 weeks since I last blogged. I never meant to
go that long between posts, but I knew I’d be writing 6 more Ghost Detectors books so I spent every extra moment finishing up the novel I started this
spring.
As you may remember (if not click here), I began crafting a wreath to mark my writing progress. Then I set up these
rules for myself:
Only add a ribbon for 650 or more words a day.
Only add a ribbon for current novel. Blogging doesn’t count. :)
Only add a ribbon for fresh work. Not revision.
I do spend a fair amount of time revising pages for my critique circle. And I rarely write on weekends. So here’s how the wreath is
shaping up. (Yes, I changed out the original patterned ribbon. Long boring story.)
Now here’s why it’ll take an eternity to finish. I don’t want to include the Ghost Detectors. Those books are under contract. That’s motivation. I don’t feel a need to mark the progress.
So it seems the next wreath update will be sometime next year. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this. Feel free to
comment.
