Weekly Word Count, November 26-December 2

Pretty productive week, even with the wrap up of NaBloPoMo.

850 words. 1 poem, 1 haiku and 1 revision.

30452 for the week.


Edit on Tuesday, December 4: That should read 30452 for the year. I'm not that cool.

Starting this week, I will be tallying my word counts in my sidebar, so that I don't have mistakes like that anymore.

Weekly Word Count, November 19-November 25

No writing for me this week. I ate lots of turkey and rented lots of movies instead.
That's called refilling the well and it's delicious.

I remain at 29,602 for the year.

Weekly Word Count, November 12-November 18

Not a bad week overall, now that I'm sitting on a finished article. Whew!

853 for the article
100 for some minor revisions to old poems
250 for half of a completed poem for read. write. poem

For the year, I've got 29,602. Now I can go see a movie and clean the house!

Weekly Word Count, November 5-November 11

Not as stellar as a week. Only 100 for the haiku. But I'm hanging in there with NaBloPoMo, so I'm happy.

29252 for the year.

Weekly Word Count, October 29-November 4

Still trucking along...I wrote 691 words for an article for Poetic Monthly and a poem based off of a Totally Optional Prompts prompt, which brings my weekly total to 1191.

29152 for the year.

And that's not even including NaBloPoMo....

Weekly Word Count, Oct 22-Oct 28

This was an awesome writing week. I wrote my scary story for the annual Halloween party last night, which was 1461 words, and a poem for Totally Optional Prompts. All told, I wrote 1961 this week, which brings my total to 28461 for the year.

I'm trucking along...

Weekly Word Count, Oct 15-Oct 21

This week I wrote an article for the Uptown Neighborhood News -- 909 words. Other than that, I've been working on getting Asphalt Sky up and running. I plan on getting back to Writers Island and Totally Optional Prompts this week -- they both have really good prompts for the week.

Until then, 26500 for the year.

Weekly Word Count, October 8-October 14

Another smashing week for poetry. Thanks to the two new prompt sites that have risen out of the ashes of Poetry Thursday, the lovely month and a half old Writers Island and the new and wonderful Totally Optional Prompts, I have written two poems this week. I also did a little revising.

So all combined, I have 1025 for the week. This brings my yearly total to 25,591.

The problem is that I'm engaging in a little (a lot) of procrastination. I have an article due by October 18 to the Uptown Neighborhood News that I avoided writing yesterday. I also would like to write another article/post at Woman Tribune. (I even have an idea.) And I just joined the staff of Poetic Monthly, so I have an article due by the end of the month.(I also have an idea for that one, too.) Last but not least on the procrastination celebration, a good friend of mine hosts a Halloween party each year where we have a scary story contest. This will be my third year, and I have yet to win. My scary story is in my head, where it can't remain for very long, or it will stop being scary and start being "scary."

If I don't surface this week, it's because I'm writing articles and scary stories as fast as I can.

Weekly Word Count, September 30-October 7

This has been an excellent writing week.

In the poetry realm, I have written two poems this week, one for the wonderful Writers Island and the other for the now sadly defunct Traveling Poetry Show/Poetry Thursday. 1000 words for poetry.

Then, I found a new website that I just love, called Woman Tribune. It was started up by Holly at Menstrual Poetry and Amanda at Pajama Mommy as a forum for feminism and women's issues. She was looking for volunteers, so I signed up. You can see my first post pretty soon, so check it out. Since I plan on contributing there about once a week, I'll leave a little sidebar widget for all of my articles. At any rate, I wrote 590 for them.

That brings my total to a whopping 1590 for the week. 24,566 for the year.

Writing is fun, when it goes well.

Weekly Word Count, September 23-September 29

Nada. Zip. Zero. But, I have a good excuse.

I remain at 22,976 for the year.

Weekly Word Count, September 16-September 22

Another good writing week -- dare I call it a roll?

759 words, for my review for the October issue of the Uptown Neighborhood News.

22,976 for the year.

Weekly Word Count, September 9-September 15

Last week, in my weekly word count post, I complained about the writing drought I've had for the past month. Well, it's raining now! Thanks to sites like Writers Island and the new Traveling Poetry Show (nee Poetry Thursday), I've been writing up a storm!

This week, I wrote two poems, two revisions, and a haiku. So all told, that's 1700 words this week alone! That brings me up to 22,217 for the year.

I should be careful, because I don't want to jinx it, but when it rains...

The Poorly Named Weekly Word Count, July 23-September 9

I last posted my weekly word count on July 22. I have my excuses, of course. Two road trips, one book review, and a lot of procrastinating. But I want to get back on track. So, here is my distillation of the past 5 weeks:

1723 words. (Two poems and one book review.)

This brings my yearly total to 20517.

Here's to being back on track.

Weekly Word Count, July 16-July 22

This was an awesome writing week. I got out one poem and one haiku, so 600 words.

18794 for the year.

Weekly Word Count, July 9-July 15

This week was a stressful week, so I didn't get any writing done. I remain at 18194 for the year. Next week will be better.

Weekly Word Count, June 25-July 8

I'm posting two weeks as one, because I was on vacation last Sunday. Between the two weeks, I wrote one regular poem and one haiku, so 600 words altogether.

18194 for the year.

Weekly Word Count, June 18-24

This was haiku-a-go-go week for me, after a bit of a stall on the project. I completed 3, so I wrote 300 words for the week. This puts me at 17594 for the year. I hope the streak continues.

Weekly Word Count, June 11-June 17

I did a lot of things to honor my writing practice this week, which we'll see when I post my verbs. Writing, however, was not one of them. It just didn't happen. So, I remain at 17294 for the year.

Weekly Word Count, June 4-June 10

This week, I wrote one poem, which is a feat, considering my dad is here to visit this weekend. (Since I know my dad reads my blog -- hi Dad! I had/am having fun with your visit.) :)

500 words for the week. 17294 for the year.

Weekly Word Count, May 28-June 3

I wrote one haiku for Poetry Thursday. 100 words.
