May Word Count

[lizvogel]

May also had writing in it! Eventually.

original short fiction: 1493
The Kitten Case: 2227

Total new words in May: 3720

Which isn't at all bad! Especially since it's only for about two weeks' writing. (Okay, the fact that it was only two weeks is bad, but we work with what we have.) The short stuff was the start of another Dix Dayton story, and the start of a creepy little thing that might end up being called "Dear Ones" (which I've since completed, yay!). The Kitten Case is yet another re-start, but this time it's with actual plot stuff and chapters, so I think it might stick.

Queries sent: 6

Hey! Not bad!

No short story submissions in May, but I do have notions of where to send several this month.

For June: Onward. Finish DDJJ2, figure out where the bleep I stand with various novels, query. The usual.

Even with a small word count, it's still incrementing to the positive. Go, you!

Actually, for me, that's not a small word count at all. If I'd written at that rate all month, it would've clocked in at over 7K; monthly quota, when I set one, is usually 5K.

Fair enough, and that's even with the chaos of falling tree, being an essential worker, hunting the elusive toilet paper...
