Word count
So this week I have added 400 words to my short WIP. Not a lot I know but since that I have not written anything other than book reviews and stuff for grad school I am pleased. In addition I had a interesting dream that I am going to plot out for future work. This coming up week I have Dragon*Con but I want to try and finish the story. Then I do not know what I am going to work on week. I will take some time off from the short story before I edit it or give it for someone else to read. I think that taking time off after you finish a story is good for both the story and you. Clears the mind for edits and stuff.

So I'm back!
Well I have finished grad school and I passed my last term with all A's.
So I am going to get back to writing more than just book reviews. By September I want to have a short story that I started writing about a year and a half ago. Then I am going to give it to my spouse to beta read it. Then I need to start rereading his first novel to help edit. Wish me luck everyone! I hope that my self control is greater than my desire to be lazy. Or better yet the reason that I was having trouble writing was because I was so stressed and busy with grad school that now I am free everything will just come together.
