sarasa_cat | Week 2 of GYWO'16: Writing 3000 words in tiny scraps of time

Week 2 officially ended on when Friday the 15th began but I didn't have a chance to open up my laptop until now. By Thursday the 14th my progress toward my goals (which are 3000/week, at least 12k/month, 150k for 2016, try to fit editing in when possible), stood at:

		Orig Proj1	Orig Prog2	AHOL

F	1/8		504
S	1/9
S	1/10	1,261
M	1/11
T	1/12
W	1/13	910
T	1/14	527

WEEK 2 TOTAL: 3203 words

Which keeps me on pace for 2016's goals:

General Statistics
Total Words Written So Far	9,102
Total Hours Spent Writing	10.10

Avg Words Written Per Day	827
Avg Hours Writing Per Day	0.92
Avg Words Per Hour	901

Number of Words Remaining	140,898
Number of Days Remaining	355
Number of Hours Remaining	156.00

I knew this week would be hard on me because I was over-scheduled with other things and my 9-5 this week was very demanding (and was more like 8a-7p) while I did a lot of prep/research/planning work that is very deadline driven such that I can hit deadlines for the next six months.

Thus, writing was ALL ABOUT LOW HANGING FRUIT WITH HIGH PAYOFF. I promised myself that before the end of January I would finish the first pass of a brainstorming treatment for "into the blender" Orig Proj 2 (a novel). Enough of this story is bubbling around in my head that if I just sit and type, something vaguely useful will happen. So, that is what I did during spare moments when awake enough to type.

The good thing is that I am averaging 900 words/hour when writing things that come to me more easily. That means that 3000 words/week isn't impossible.

More later, especially on Orig Proj 2. I need to do nine thousand things this weekend and all of it is on a time crunch.
