My Weekly Writing Update (26)

Because what's a writing blog without a writing update?

As you have seen, my main focus as of right now is If Only We, a young adult contemporary novel. I am in the process of revising and rewriting this one.

If Only We - current word count total is 57,556.
current revision word count is 19,809

Well, I failed this week.

Not that I'm going to beat myself up over this. I just need to TRY HARDER. Set aside more time to focus on revising. I have to admit, I've been pretty distracted with both things online AND writing down scene ideas for my next book. And as much fun as those things are, I need to prioritize. Right now, that priority is If Only We. Finish the revisions, send to betas, THEN I can start writing the next book.

So, if any of you guys have something to give me incentive to stop allowing distractions, I'll gladly welcome it!

Listening to the bands and music we love

One thing you need to know about me is that I have this tendency to be obsessive...


Rebecca: You gotta love that moment when My Darkest Days comes on Pandora.

Jessica:  OH MY GOD. And now I have to listen to them... blast you!

Rebecca: HAHAHAHA. Putting My Darkest Days on there was a brilliant idea though.

Jessica: Hahaha! I have a Three Days Grace radio... I should listen to that right now. I'm just on a Marina and the Diamonds kick. OMG her music is just freaking awesome. It has all this FEELING in it and I just love it.

Rebecca: Lol, sometimes there's just one kind of music you're in the mood for.

Jessica: Yes. Definitely. Like the other day I was about to leave for work and I was like DUDE I WANT TO LISTEN TO THREE DAYS GRACE so I grabbed their latest CD and listened to it. OMG it was the best thing EVAHHHH!!! So that will be played in my car for the next couple weeks. It'll be like right after I bought the CD all over again. It was SO WEIRD listening to it in my car. I hadn't listened to the album in a couple months and it kinda took me back to when I started at my last job because that's when I got the CD. It was like this crazy feeling, like déjà vu.

Rebecca: We must love our music A LOT. I do that too

Jessica: We do. Music is awesome times infinity to the eighth power squared.

Rebecca: Ditto.

Hmm... well... I didn't get too far this week. Then again, I only worked on it for an hour at the most. I managed to type out several dialogues on my phone (I got a new one and can type out SOOO much more at a time, it is awesome), including one I need to add to If Only We. I was scrolling down to remember how I wrote out a certain scene so that I could make sure the scene I was working on matched up and I noticed something that was off. So, I made a note in my phone on how to fix it. Other than that, I accomplished very little writing/revising-wise this week. I'm hoping for better numbers by next week. I'd like to push to reach the halfway mark, but I don't want to set my sights THAT high. It just depends on how much free time I manage to have this weekend and next week. We shall see! ^_^
