Word Count Wednesday

What am I working on?

Right now I am working on either journalling or writing everyday for an hour as well as hitting a specific word count. I haven't hit my word count half the time, but one of the times I hit my goal out of the park, so I think it kind of makes up for it. In that time I'm writing I am desperately attempting to finish up my creative writing work for my class.

Word Count this Week (so far): 3,724

Word Count Total: 15,761

How do I feel about this process?

I've been feeling really good about writing everyday. Making it a priority in my life was definitely exactly what I've been meaning to do. It makes me feel more relaxed and happier, as well as really getting my creative juices flowing!

What am I reading?

This week I finished Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon, and I really enjoyed it. The movie comes out in like 15 days, so I definitely want to go see it.
I'm reading Pride and Prejudice for the first time and am about 4 chapters in. So far, not used to the language and not sure about the obsession with Mr. Darcy, but I am sure I'll join on the love bandwagon soon.

What am I working on?

Right now I'm not working on anything specific, but instead working on creating a daily writing practice. You can see my post before this one about it. I'm going to attempt to write at least an hour every day. This morning I wrote for three hours composing my earlier post.

How do I feel about this process?

I'm nervous but also really excited. I want to show myself that I'm committed to my writing and am willing to put in the effort. Plus, I'm excited to see what I produce and how much I write.

What am I working on?

Well I've been attempting to use writing as a distraction from my life, so I wrote chapter three for Not the Chosen One, and am already working on chapter four. I'm hoping to finish the chapter and post it by the end of the weekend. I do have quite a few things to do this week and especially this weekend, but I am determined to get it done.

Word Count this Week: 782 (and counting!)

Word Count Total: 8,491 (I wrote quite a bit since my last WCW, that I included)

How do I feel about this processes?

I'm excited to get this done. I finally get to write about Hogwarts so that's encouraging to get it done.

What am I working on?

I am working on so much! Well it feels like it, but none of the things I'm working on seems to be writing. I've been spring cleaning my room, which includes purging my excessive amount of random shit through the KonMari Method. If you have a hard time keeping things organized and clean or letting go of things, I highly suggest looking up KonMari. I didn't follow the method to a 'T', but it got me started and I've never had so much space in my room.

When I do write, it seems to always be an assignment for Politics (M03). However, I did get back into writing my fan fiction. I've been writing down a lot of research for it though. Almost done with Chapter 3!

Word Count this Week: 3,920

Word Count Total: 9,346

How do I feel about this process?

Well I'm ecstatic about my room and the process I've used. My writing sees to be slow, but I'm actually getting a lot done. I guess being back on Adderall truly does help!

What am I working on?

Right now I'm still working on my fan fiction. I am on the third chapter and have posted the first two chapters on Wattpad as well now.
I'm also attempting (key word: attempting) to write anything for my first novel. I have the entire plot planned; I've named my main character and developed her back story; I've plotted character deaths and heartbreak. Now I'm staring at a blank word document, willing myself to be creative. It's not working.

How do I feel about this process?

Yeah, at this point I'd rather not talk about it.....
I'm frustrated as fuck.

My (Not) Wednesday Word-Count

What am I working on?

Right now I am working on a Harry Potter Fan Fiction, cause I'm a proud nerd. It's an OC (original character) fan fiction called "Not the Chosen One," where Harry now has a twin sister. Her name is Rena Lily Potter and ultimately falls in love with George Weasley. Naturally since I love him, so shall she. I've written the first two chapters and am working on posting have posted the second chapter online. The second chapter is over twice as long as the first one and just shows my excitement about writing it.

Find the first two chapters of "Not the Chosen One" here!

Total word count: 5,567

How do I feel about this process?

Right now I'm pretty happy with where it's going and how it's going. I have outlined my entire story in bullet points and desperately want to get to the end. For Experiment #4, I may try writing a piece of the story that I'm most excited about, but when it comes to a story that's as planned as this one, I have trouble not writing in order. I get frustrated with the voice in my head telling me to write in order and desperately try to silence it, but alas I have yet to do so.
