Progress Check

So I've always been a slacker, a procrastinator...a take your own timer. Like I said in my first post, which of course was weeks ago...but seriously, who cares? Nobody is reading this anyway and when somebody finally does, they'll be posted one right after the other. I digress, like I said in my first post, I've wanted to be a writer for over 20 years but have never done anything about it.

Most recently, I had been working on a novel off and on for at least the last 2 years. I'd write for a couple hours here or there, then forget about it for months, come back write again...blah blah blah. I'm very proud of it. It will be a successful novel once it's done. Only one person has read what I've completed so far and she called me the second she finished so I could tell her how it ends.

Anyway, in the 2(ish) years I've been working on it I have completed a little over 17,000 words. Probably about a quarter of the way done. 5 weeks ago, I learned about self publishing, started researching it and working on the novel that I could turn into a long running series, if it's successful of course. As I sit here, that novel is currently sitting at 17,773 words. I wrote 1400 words this morning, 1300 yesterday, 1000 the day before and you get the picture. Anyway, I'm really excited at my progress.

My DVR is starting to fill up but I did take a break today for about 3 hours to watch the A's beat the Mariners...I'm not perfect.

Time to get back at it. Hopefully another 1000 words before Breakout Kings in a few hours.
