Last week's wordcount

It wasn't the best, to be honest. I only wrote 7400 words last week. And 4200 of them I wrote yesterday. So the rest of the week was rather unproductive. 

Measured Doses is now up on 26K though and it's still never ending. I can see the ending somewhere in the future, but it's definitely not going to be on 30K. Maybe they'll start patching things up by then, but there's still stuff to cover. So yeah, maybe 35K? Maybe 40K? We shall see. 

Haven't heard back about Yesterday's Tears or the Silver/Kian shorts yet. I'm waiting anxiously for it, but I'm also trying not to think about it too much. MD is a good distraction for that! The initial reaction to Boyfriend? I've seen, on GR, is not at all positive. Peeps just don't seem to like it. I don't really get it, because I think it's one of my best stories, but then I might be biased. I know GR isn't exactly the right place to be looking, but it's the only place where I can find ratings and reviews for it. 

But over to nicer stuff! I want to finish Measured Doses this week, but ... a lot is happening this week. Only two days of lecture, but on Friday I leave for London. We're going on a two-week study trip to York with the uni and I'm going to London the weekend before and the weekend after. I'm not sure how much time I'll have for personal writing while there, but I'm sure I can squeeze some in. I don't function well when my muse is on and I can't indulge it! *grin* 

Word-count and stuff, but mostly word-count

I was supposed to update the blog yesterday, but ... things (*coughMerlincoucgh*) ... happened. So yeah. I'm updating today instead! My wordcount for the week was astonishing; 12'000. 12K words in one week, and one of the days I didn't even write. This brought Measured Doses from roughly 6-7K to 18K. 

Speaking of Measured Doses though ... It just won't end. When I planned it I was thinking it would be roughly 10K. Then I figured that no, it'll be a little longer, so I sat 15K. That wasn't going to happen either, so I sat 20K. Not going to happen, I tell you, so I've now sat 25K. I'm doubting that's going to happen to, because the story's at 19K already and there's still a lot to cover, so now I'm thinking 30K. It's such a pleasant surprise, really. Going from not being able to write longer stories, to have a story that just won't be short ... it's awesome! 

The story is so full of angst though. Might be the darkest story I've written yet. But it all turns out all right in the end, and that's not even a spoiler, just a state of fact. I never end a story on a downer. I do like my HFN and HEA after all. 

Remember that How About a Boyfriend? comes out tonight! I am so excited for this one!

So ... that's that for this update. I had more to say, but I've completely forgotten about it. I've spent hours getting this blog post written too though, so yeah ... at least I'm finally updating. 

EDIT: I remember what I forgot! I submitted my three Silver & Kian stories. So now I'm waiting to hear back on both them and Yesterday's Tears. Keep your fingers crossed! ^_^
