Life is CRAZY, but I swear I will finish this novel by the 25th of April as I planned!

Mondays are CRAZY.
A quick update before I go to bed…
I was going to go to bed…
…but then I figured the day wouldn’t be complete without blogging…
Don’t put it off
Some updates on the writing process, and a little rant on the difficulties therein…
This novel keeps getting longer and longer…
…but in some ways, it also keeps getting better and better…
I’m starting to get to the really cool parts…
…in both of my stories. In The Lost Colony, Leila, who’s a native of this somewhat primitive civilization that doesn’t understand spacefaring, stows away on a shuttle and experiences space for the first time. Pretty cool! And in The Wormhole Paradigm, tension builds as they set off towards the planet, anticipating that the aliens will intercept them at any time. When they don’t, Mike almost has a nervous breakdown–but that’s about 1,500 pages down the road. Altogether, I wrote 3,000 words tonight. Holy Cow!
There was also a Quark writing meeting today, and it really surprised me…
3,000 words tonight
Just another daily update on my writing progress:
6,400 out of 10,000 isn’t bad
Well…I came a little bit short of my outrageous goal to write 10,000 words this weekend. But 6,400 isn’t bad. I got past some really difficult parts in my novel and I can almost see the end from here (next time, I’ll have to do a better job outlining so I can see the end before I get past 100,000 words)…
Writing…is…hard…ugh!
And it doesn’t help when you’re sick. Yeah, I think I’m coming down with something. It’s kind of…demotivating.
Still, 715 words isn’t too shabby. I’ll definitely write more over the weekend. What’s more, a pretty little romance story has sprouted up in my novel…
English 318 just makes me want to WRITE.
…so I did today. A lot. Somewhere around 1,500 words–though I wish I could write more. Progress is being made. As to the final status of this novel, well, I don’t know…it’s hard not to have doubts…
