I managed to write...I think around 26_<(insert some number over underscore, so about 260) words today...not much, but I was short on time (due, no doubt in part at least, to my horrible time management -skills)...how did you do Aubrey?

Even small progress is progress.

What Mark said.

We all have days where we don't get a lot done, whether it's our poor management or valid external circumstances, but live and learn! Budgeting time for writing is as much a learned art as writing is.

I got one scene in Peter's Angel edited. That's all I did, but it was a pretty long and pivotal scene, so that's good, I guess.

Hoping to do two scenes today, which will finish off the chapter. What's up for you?

Y'know, at this rate we might as well sign up for the writing accountability thing and move to PM.

I usually keep a stash and/or the cards I'm currently using in my Bible case so that I know where they all are. Many times the cards I have in circulation end up in my composition books as bookmarks, so that keeps them out of trouble as well.

Oh, those are good ideas! I think I've written on library receipts and used them for bookmarks before. :-)

Yeah, you're right, thanks!

Thank you, yeah for me it's usually time management and laziness...I need to learn to do stuff before I "want to do it" because sometimes my schedule won't let me wait for that magical moment (and I've found that I can bring on the desire to do something simply by starting to do it, that's the hard part-starting).

Nice! I hope you're able to finish that chapter (I have a manuscript I really need to get back to soon).
Well, today I'm hoping for 500 or so words on my shortstory so I can reach the 1000 word goal in time that I can do some editing and stuff (and I'm hoping to remember to do the laundry today

)

I was wondering about that too, do you think we should?

My main non novel goal is simply keeping up with the forums on Holy Worlds more. Else I shall be a bad council member, and be cast to the fields of eternal woe (where bad council members are subjected to hideous, unspeakable tortures which involve a combination of reading twilight and having to listen to lady gaga).

I hope you never get cast there!

Which was a long winded version of saying... I have to post here more.

I agree, I enjoy your posts.

*gives Brendan some cupcakes to fortify him* Thou must fight and avoid this hideous fate at all costs!

Wolf, send me a PM when you've got progress to report.

(Or I will, if I should manage to get done first. I, too, often have to force myself to start now rather than waiting for inspiration.)

RunningWolf · **Posted:** April 4th, 2012, 1:10 pm

Okay sounds good!

Besides the Weekly challenge goals, my non-novel goals for world-building this week are as such:

Short introduction to the differing cultures (around 150 words)
Names/naming article in full (might end up as 500 words)
Finish list of phonetics in the language I'm making.

Great stuff, Mae!

I am doing Script Frenzy now, and am writing the Umbrella Beach screenplay Mark and I are doing.

Right now I'm working on the development, worldbuilding, synopsis, that sort of thing.

Twenty-five pages on the screenplay and counting...

You're welcome.

Yes it is, thank you for being inspiring.

I may as well say what I'm working on, too, I've started fractalling for the first time, but I have a lot of help from Ira Mordecai's fractalling group which is helping a lot.

J. Grace Pennington · **Joined:** July 19th, 2011, 2:35 pm **Posts:** 1988

Fifty pages... halfway through...

AzlynRose · **Posted:** April 26th, 2012, 11:53 am

Go, Grace!

We have a Script Frenzy thread too, you know.

We are glad to be of service. *bows*

AzlynRose · **Posted:** April 28th, 2012, 10:17 pm

I finished a fractal! *Flops down on couch* That was the fastest I have ever done a fractal, in two weeks. It's 16 pages and over 5,000 words long.

RunningWolf · **Posted:** April 28th, 2012, 10:46 pm

Wow, I was impressed before. Now to see how big it is...wow. Good job.

*Grins* Thanks!

(I think I meant to post this on the Novel Goals thread... I shouldn't post when I'm tired.

Oh well. It's kind a non-novel goal too. *Posts it there also for the people who wanted updates on that thread*)

Rachel Newhouse · **Posted:** April 28th, 2012, 11:13 pm

This news is so delightful that it's worth hearing twice.

Eighty pages...

(yes, I know there is a ScriptFrenzy thread, but I thought since I'd started here, I might as well keep the updates on here, unless anyone minds.

)

Rachel Newhouse · **Posted:** April 29th, 2012, 11:53 am

Well, I for one never, ever "mind" hearing about Gracie's writing progress.

AzlynRose · **Posted:** April 29th, 2012, 1:47 pm

I don't mind either!

Grace, you are so close! Keep going!

Aragorn · **Joined:** September 23rd, 2010, 3:42 pm **Posts:** 9085

*also doesn't mind*

Excellent progress.

AzlynRose · **Posted:** April 30th, 2012, 7:59 am

Speaking of that... Gracie, what are you up to now?

J. Grace Pennington · **Joined:** July 19th, 2011, 2:35 pm **Posts:** 1988

I got to "fade out", but am only at ninety pages.... so today I need to either go back and write ten more pages in the middle, or write ten pages of something else...

AzlynRose · **Posted:** April 30th, 2012, 11:08 am

You are soooo close, Gracie! Don't give up now! You could try extending a scene, reading over what you have to see if you can add more... just write!

Finished Umbrella Beach and "won" ScriptFrenzy!

So glad I did it.

Thanks everyone for your interest and encouragement!
