Even though I finished all my uni-related stuff last week, I still haven't done much since the last check-in; my brain was still recovering from this year's workload, and I've had to work a fair bit (made more difficult by the fact my job is essentially lifting and carrying stuff and my knee is still dodgy). I also spent the weekend with my nan, and generously helped her to eat the tray of chocolate fudge she'd made (because I'm a caring granddaughter). However, today I opened my novel document (for the first time in a few months, I think) and have so far written 500 words. I'm hoping to get another 1,000 tonight. A lot of my time today was spent simply staring at the existing pages, hoping to get into the headspace of the story again, but I'm hoping that will get easier as I write more.
I did do another painting though, copied from a photo on the internet of the Nakagusuku Casttle ruins in Japan:
I still have an anxious wait ahead until I get my uni results, but for now I'm off to keep attacking my novel :D
Settle down,
Judgemental Dog, I'll get some writing done eventually...
See how other ROW80ers are going
here.
Uni work can take it's toll on time available for other things, don't feel too bad about that! ;)
ReplyDelete500 words is still good going and I love the painting! :D
Good luck getting that other 1000 words done today, I'm sure you can do it! :)
it'll come - prob. need time off for creative juices to run clear again after uni work - take care of that knee and - a word in your ear, I'm worried about that dog I think he's hearing voices - now it might not be anything but . . . well I'll say no more!!!!:)
ReplyDeleteall the best for coming week
It's difficult to get right back to writing after so much work. Down time is understandable. But you are at least pondering over the novel and adding to it in segments. That will keep it alive. Keep up the good work.
