Weekend burning the midnight oil, not literally though just up past midnight.

So I have been here at this computer for a couple hours trying to figure out how I have only written 5 pages. When I feel like I wrote twenty. Time is weird sometimes. Looked at my Archive today and realized that in 8 months I wrote over half a million words. That doesn't include The New World or My sister's keeper in the total because they aren't listed on the word count. And here I am bitching about the fact that I only wrote 5 pages in a three hour period. it doesn't help that I get distracted by my phone or some weird movie my daughter and wife are watching called the FALL on Apple TV. Which by the way if your afraid of height I don't recommend. even just being in the same room and looking up at random moments was making my stomach do flips. Oh well off to maybe write a few more pages before i call it a night.

Slacking

So I finished the outline and I haven't done anything since. I worked some on my fanfics that I have on Archive but have fully neglected to work on the second book. But this weekend I will set aside a few hours and make sure to bang out the opening chapter. Going to work this process different this time. Google doc and share with my editors chapter by chapter. So they can review and update ASAP. that way when the book is done then editing is right behind me and we can set a release date. The Old World is coming....

Outline Fun

I made a choice today for book 2 of The New World series. Main thing is I settled on a title. "The Old World" we are going to get some back story for out characters in the second installment.
Also I determined to write at least 2 chapters a week if I can, working full time. And making sure I update this regularly with some spoilers and maybe some other works. I am also working on some other idea's for another book,

Writing when I should be sleeping

I have to work in the morning, yet here I am trying to get some fanfiction done, and outlining a new book as well. All the while getting sidetracked over here on good reads making sure this profile gets setup! All the while keeping in mind that sleep is calling my name and trying to finish one paragraph before I head to bed.The New World
