CDOW: Day 5 Posted by Taryn Elliott , October 29, 2009 at Thursday, October 29, 2009, in Labels: CDOW, Devotion, OYE

Produuuuctive day yesterday!
Wrote on both projects!
WC: 1465 on OYE
WC: 452 on Devotion.

I managed to kick ass on OYE--getting to some of the nitty gritty details on how Emma and Sebastian react to each other in a bit of reality.  That the game isn't enough anymore.  It helped to move me along again.  I knew what needed to happen, it just wasn't coming from my damn fingertips!

Devotion is chugging right along. ;)

CDOW: Day 3 & 4 Posted by Taryn Elliott , October 28, 2009 at Wednesday, October 28, 2009, in Labels: CDOW, Devotion

I fell asleep last night before I could post. I wrote about 800 words last night on my fun project---Devotion.  Building on sexual tension is always fun. The words came quick and full of fun. 

Today, I was super distracted with the leaked Bon Jovi album.  Helluva thing to listen to as you're writing, that's for sure.  Great lyrics and even better...it's a rockin' album!

Very social and delicious--The Circle is going to be one of my faves, I can feel it. 

So, worked on more Devotion tonight...gee, I don't know how or why I'd be writing about them. LOL  Crappy wordcount tonight.  *sigh* 

WC: 557

CDOW: Day 2 Posted by Taryn Elliott , October 26, 2009 at Monday, October 26, 2009, in Labels: CDOW

I did get some writing in today---not as much as I wanted, but the Jovi distractions were pretty fierce today.

WC: 459
Proj: OYE

Have to run to work---better post tomorrow.

CDOW: Consecutive Days of Writing: Day 1 Posted by Taryn Elliott , October 24, 2009 at Saturday, October 24, 2009, in Labels: CDOW

How many times have I said put up or shut up?
Yeah--well, here's one more.
Hopefully my last one.
Had a good long talk with Cari last night.  We were lamenting about our less than desirable day jobs. She's even thinking about cutting back to PT so that she can focus on her writing and get things squared away.

God, I want that.

More than anything I want to write full time and work part time.  I mean, I'm not crazy here. I know how much work writing is...and I also know how much time it will take to get it done.  I also know that as hard as I work--contracts aren't all that generous these days.  But finding that perfect balance of writing and surviving a day job is REALLY hard. 

So...here I am.  Working on my CDOW again.  A very intelligent chick told me that writing is a muscle.  And lemme tell ya.  It's not just the muscles on my body that are flabby. LOL I'm working to remedy that.

Today is step one.
