March 19 – A Productive Day

Finally! I had a day when my schedule worked out! My wife drove herself to work so I could stay at home and write. I still have issues staying focused, but it’s a lot easier to write when I can stay in the same area. What I didn’t do was any walking, so I need to do a better job of taking care of my physical health.

My morning devotional was short, only 359 words, but I included a Youtube link for the song Resurrecting. Check out March 19 – God: The Ultimate Grave Robber to see the video and read about the Resurrection of Jesus.

I got 471 words done for my challenge/back story – continuing the fun.

Then, I got back to the main short story I’m working on and got 1070 words done on that. Almost 2K words for the day. If I can keep my focus, I can do even more.

March 17 – Eking Out Words

I write better in the morning, really I do. I had some issues come up this morning and I didn’t get to finish my devotional til noon. I won’t go into my actions, except to say that I wasn’t procrastinating. All these actions were necessary.

My Morning Devotional, March 17 – The Nature of Evil and the Goodness of God, was 483 Words.

I eked out 474 words in my back story. I did get some help with the first sentences.

Original was: “Randall Stevenson yawned. There may have been a more boring job somewhere in the universe, but he couldn’t imagine what it would be.”

Without filler: “Randall Stevenson yawned. If a more boring job existed in the universe, he couldn’t imagine it. ”

Tomorrow is a church day, and those are always busy for me. I hope I can get more writing done, though.

March 16 – The Day Has Passed

Today was a rough day to write. Sleep wasn’t the best last night. I had to take my wife to a couple of doctor’s appointments. I had to pick my daughter up from the airport. It was hard to get a good block of time to write, and I let myself get distracted. This is how I hold myself accountable.

My Devotional post was 464 Words. The title was “March 16 – What Does the Evidence Show?”

I spent a lot of time setting this site up.

My writing for a 400 word a day challenge was only 429 words. This is back story for a short story that I’m supposed to be editing. Today, I didn’t get any done. I’ll eventually post this story and hope the other story will get published in an anthology.

My goals for tomorrow: 1) Write the devotional; 2) Write 4-500 words on the back story; 3) Get 1000 to 1500 words done on the editing/revision/rewriting; 4) Work on getting Mail Chimp set up here for a mailing list on this blog. Come follow me in this journey!
