It’s been awhile since my last blog post. Maybe a month, and with the exception of my Paranormal Month posts in May, I’ve been inconsistent this year.

I’m Still #WritingInPublic, But Where?

Here’s my progress in the first week of #WritingInPublic. I’ve written every day of the last week and I have 5700 words, which is only about one 12th of the length of a short novel. So, if I’ve done 1/12th in one week, it goes to reason that it will take me 12 weeks to finish the novel. Do you hear that DeskInvestor?  How are those apps coming along? To be honest, week after this, I have a family vacation, so I probably won’t be writing much. So, because of the vacation, I’m on track to finish the novel in 13 weeks, maybe…
