Today is my second What's Up Wednesday, a weekly meme started by Jaime Morrow and Erin Funk. If you'd like to join this fun meme, please head over to Jaime's blog to sign in the linky list. :)
What I'm reading:
I'm currently reading: The Rules of Disappearing by Ashley Elston. I'm 26% in and I LOVE it! :) as well as Today Only by D.Love. Such a great story.
What I'm writing:
I did revisions for my NA/Adult crossover, but didn't manage to add wordcount on my YA. I hope to work on that this coming weeked.
I was really ambitious last week with my estimated 7000 word count for Read.Set. Write. So this week my goal until next Wednesday is at least 4000 words. *crossing fingers*
What inspires me right now?
Finally, it's sunny - about 36 degrees today - here in Vienna. No one is going crazy and irritated anymore..LOL The last three weeks were horrible. Lots of rain, which caused flooding outside Vienna. So uninspiring. So, yay! to awesome weather. I'm completely inspired, although half the time I'm on my desk with packs of ice on my head to cool me down. It's still something. :)
What else I've been up to:
Actually, not much. My Kiddies close school next week so I'll definitely have something to do. Can't wait though. Working full time sometimes doesn't give us enough time to enjoy each other's company.
What are you currently reading/writing? What inspires you and what else have you beeen up to? Would love to hear from you! :)
I know the feeling on working full time. It's finally summer here and I've been enjoying the time with the family. :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your writing goals this week! You can DO IT!!!
Yay, for summer and spending time with family!! Thanks, and good luck to you too, Allison! :)
DeleteI just read THE RULES FOR DISAPPEARING this week and really enjoyed it. I didn't realize until I was finished that it's actually Book #1, so there will be more. Yay! It's great that you managed to get revisions done this week. That's what I was up to, too. Good luck meeting your goals this week, Cece! :)
ReplyDeleteOoh, I really thought the book was standalone until I checked on Goodreads. I'm looking forward to the second one. :) Thank you, I hope to hit that 4000 mark by next week. :)
DeleteSummer just remembered us too. Isn't the sunshine lovely?
ReplyDeleteGood luck hitting your Ready. Set. WRITE! targets! :D
Ooh it is! I'm totally inlove with summer. :)
DeleteThanks, Miss Cole!
Oooh I really want to read The Rules For Disappearing! Glad to hear it's good.
ReplyDeleteIt's really great. Hope you like it :)
DeleteA writer from my RWA group taught us about how to calculate and predict wordcount based on how much you can write in a sitting and then averaging out that result over maybe 5 or 6 sittings. If you know you can devote enough time to write 1k 5 days a week then 5k words is totally do-able. This was such a revelation for me since breaking it down like that is less intimidating. Hopefully you can make your 4k this week, I think that is definitely manageable if you can block out the time for it. Best of luck to you!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to reading THE RULES FOR DISAPPEARING. I've heard great things about it! Best of luck with your word count goal for the week. 4K sounds totally doable based on what you shared... I'm cheering you on!
ReplyDeleteWe've finally gotten a bit of summer here, too. Finally. I'm enjoying the weather while I can before it goes away. Have a great week. Good luck accomplishing your 4k goal.
