Day 5 – WAY Behind Kris

As i feared, Kris hit her 2,000 words on her Wedding Anniversary. WHY WON’T she take a day off! 🤣 In all seriousness, it was worse than 2k. She hit 2,400 words! So if i do my plan of catchup by writing 2,500, i’ll now be gaining 100 words instead of 500 😔

BUT there is good news. I won’t repeat yesterday but i wrote 733 instead of not writing anything when i was in write-nothing mood.

The bad news is, this story has blown up to over 10,000 words and i’m at its end. Why is that bad? ‘Cause i need to read and edit the whole thing to make sure it all makes sense. What we writers call a continuity pass. They’re fun even if most writers don’t like it but it’ll up an hour or two of writing. I nearly always add words when i do a pass, but there’s a part that i’m going to trim down. So, not only will i be losing time, while i add 400 words doing the pass, i’ll probably lose 500 when i cut this one section. So, basically, i’m gonna lose hours and in those hours and gonna have to SUBTRACT from my work count 🤦‍♂️

C’est la vie. Or as the French say, « Such uhhhh iz uhhhh the life, non ? »

My words before starting this morning:

5,006

Kris’s word count before starting this morning:

9,180

Ugh. AND i hope to go to a peace rally too 🕊️

WHY WON’T YOU SLOW DOWN, KRIS?! 🤣
