ROW80 Round 1 - 14th Update

Time has been good to me (mostly) since the last check-in, but it still hasn't been smoothe sailing. My insomnia reared its ugly head again so between Tuesday and yesterday I had no more than five or six hours of sleep, so you can imagine what sort of mood I was in - and I have a short fuse at the best of times ^_^

Writing has been a bit two-steps-forward-one-step-back the last week or two. On Friday, however, something awesome happened. I reached 20,000 words on my novella :D Since then I've kept plugging away, and I'm now at just over 21,000 words (so bring on the energy drinks).

Yesterday I workshopped the last bit of chapter 1 with my writing group. I've already revised it based on the feedback I got, and it's given me some good ideas for the main character's back story. It was a good session; the other writers have some really good stories going so I can't wait to see more of them.

Overall, it's been a good week :)

What do you think, Judgemental Dog?

    LoL Judge looks happy. Insomnia is always an unwelcome guest. Good for you for still making progress.

    Oh, finally, Judgmental Dog is happy! LOL

    Great progress...even if insomnia was the price you had to pay.

    I hate the insomnia thing. I have it myself periodically (middle of the night insomnia, where I wake up, stay awake for several hours, and then fall into deep sleep an hour or so before my alarm goes off. GAH!!) Hope it passes soon!

    Great job on the writing--21,000 words! It's officially a novella! YAY!

    Wow, I don't know how you did it, but you did! If I had that much sleep, I'd of been snoozing through this update. Good for you!

    Judgemental Dog is purdy. :D Yay on the novella!

    I've been dealing with bouts of insomnia too, plus I'm going through a caffeine withdrawal so I am NOT pleasant to be around right now. I would do anything for an energy drink. LOL.

    Nice job keeping JD busy with all the writing you've accomplished and away from me and my non-writing self this week. :)
    I can tell you're excited about your work and that's awesome!
