Where have I been this year? Lots of school, lots of sports, and even more injures! This year through a combination of about 4 hours of sports a night and the stress from school I have a stress fracture in my lower back and a bulging disk. Short story, all sports have stopped and I have resumed the role of bookworm.
Where am I going?
Short term: I am going to start really writing again. Over winter break I pushed out about 1,000 words a day in a story that is now buried under science papers. I haven't touched it since. Even though I have been writing short stories, most of them have been cut short or left without an adequate end because I don't have the time.
Long term: I am finishing my first draft this year. That is my only long term goal.
What about you guys? Please comment with an update!
Good luck on the writing this year. That's one of my goals as well....life always gets in the way so it's hard to find time to sit down and do it.
ReplyDeleteHi, I wish you well with the writing, and I feel for you with a back problem. I have had a bad back forever (kyphosis) and now I have spinal stenosis where the spinal canal has narrowed on the inside so that I have difficulty walking for a long period of time, but God is gracious, isn't He? Just keep on writing and don't give up. Best wishes to you. Ruby
ReplyDeleteSorry about the injuries, but hopefully you'll make lemonade out of them and finish your first draft. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI have two books that WIP. The third in my series and an unrelated romantic suspense. I can't decide which to finish first.
I am hoping to get one out this year.
