I had a project I was working on that kind of floundered. I'm rereading it and once again, my brain foreshadowed something I hadn't thought of it.

Writing in 2nd is hard. And I'm keeping not to a goal, but a limit. 1500 words a day. I don't want to burn out on this. Done for the day.

I think writing in 2nd/1st is super hard. Normally I can write 3k-5k words a day, but I think I'm going to keep to my standard goal of 1k a day. 1500 today/ 3000 total.

New project. I don't know how far I will get with it. It's a mix of 2nd and 1st person. Told from a non-human POV.

So it might just be me as a guy, but I was feeling super sexist because my first solo FMC didn't get a novel, her story stuck at 45k - 48k words. And I didn't want to add too much that might distract from her story. This last editting pass, I got her to 50k in an established series. #amwriting

Strange thought I need to look into: are there Power Rangers inspired books? I mean, there has to be, right?

And I finished the book. The MC is recovering, the team just lost their first game because he couldn't play and he looks forward to the future and his training.

One more day to the 3000 word goal streak. However I am coming close to the end of the book.

I didn't post yesterday, but the 3k streak has continued. Today might be the day it stops though. Vampire Crawlers is calling my name.

Got my 3000 in today. The question is how long will my streak last this time? Last time I finished a book in just shy of a month.

Technically it is a new day, but I'm going to count it since I haven't gone to bed. The streak barely lives. 3000 words.

It took me all day since work expected me to work today, the nerve! Just kidding, they pay me.
I love meeting my goal of 1000, but divine joy when I get 3000.

I missed a posting day, but 11 days in a row for at least 3000 words. 45k words and the MC has started playing the magical sport with some hazing.

An early 3k today. He's finally learning magic within his specialty. It's only 38k words into the book. Probably a book just for me.

Good writing day. 3,000 words. It's at 30,000 words. The previous version/draft was 66,000. But I don't think it will end there. I expanded a lot. Some conversations aren't told that happened, I show them.
