I have got to start posting daily metrics again. Starting now.

Belladonna Dreams

43,556 / 100,000
(43.6%)

Word Goal for the day: 750 - made 839

Starting line: I had no idea how long it had been since I closed my eyes – there was no sun, and Claire was still scowling down at me.

Ending line: “She was skinned, Maggie.” I shuddered. “Not a few cuts. There was barely any flesh left on her body. What happened?”

Darling: I could feel Maggie next to me, solid and reassuring. A rock. And I was falling off, slipping down into a swirling darkness that had very little of substance in it.

The good news: made my word count today.

The bad news: I'm still short of where I should be for

novel_in_90. Yes, I reported for mocking. *sigh*

I'm at 15423 as of this point. I should be at 21000. So this weekend is the push to get caught up.

This weekend is also the push to get the novel I'm editing more than 1/2 way done. Good thing I'm bringing Merlin to my friend's Superbowl party (because I could care less about the Superbowl). I'll hopefully get more done there too.

Here's the

novel_in_90 bar so far:

15,423 / 21,000
(73.4%)

I can do this. I really can.

Oh yeah, and I made a bit of progress on High Caste Faeries vs. Low Caste Faeries at work, but I'll write that in tomorrow.

See you all tomorrow!

Now here's the stats for today.

Belladonna Dreams

Word Goal for the day: 750 - made 1295

Starting line: Something else was niggling at me as I wandered the halls, careful to avoid the rushing shades.

Ending line: -Sapph, come look at this,- Heather said, interrupting me. I looked up to find her opening a door towards the end of the hall. David and I joined her, and when we looked in, I groaned.

Darling: The scent was fainter than it had been at the house, but still very recognizable: acrid fear, black and blue and bruised, floating in the air around us.

Word Goal for the day: 750 - made 1089

Starting line: “Stay back,” I said, as Kate started to lean down.

Ending line: Emotion like this was a beacon in the Ghostlands, and I was in no shape to deal with what might show up to see what all the fuss was about.

Darling: Mine is just a switch, hanging on a blank wall. One of those old-time connector switches – you know, the one that Dr. Frankenstein had Igor flip, to connect the circuits and wake the monster up? Yeah, one of those. And usually, all I have to do is call up the image in my head, flip the switch, and I Change.

Deaths: Nope.

Good Things: none. She's pretty well pooched at this point, as far as she's concerned.

Bad Things: See above. Sapph's trapped, and she hasn't got a clue as to how to get out.

No mocking today! Yay! Go me!

Now on to Broken Wings. I got me a date with some War. :D

Well, I'm always one to jump into everything, so I joined

novel_in_90 like

jmeadows told me to, because, well, I need something else to do. :p Actually, this is a good thing, as I need to get back on the bandwagon. I've been slacking since I finished Seasons - haven't written a damn thing all week. So I signed up. And I'll be posting my counts here and there as well.

So tonight, I read over what I already have written for Dreams and see what I can do for tomorrow. (writer's group) I need to have something to bring.

Here's the most recent counter for Dreams
