Can you believe another month is almost over? Yikes.
This week's update is a little later than usual because I got caught up writing and revising two short stories that I wrote late last week/during the weekend. I didn't expect both stories to come as fast as they did, but during my afternoon walks when I'm thinking about my ideas, I tend to work through the story and before I know it, I'm ready to write. I often have to pull my phone out and start typing because the thoughts come pretty fast.
Not gonna lie, I love when that happens.
Actually, I wrote the first draft of the second story on my phone during the early hours of Monday! Not kidding, I finished at about two in the morning. LOL.
And today, I read both of them on my Paperwhite for the final read-thru. I'm really happy with the final product and even happier that I got them done at the end of the month!
Here's the final word counts: 2,579 and 2,013.
And this is the vampire world update: two novels, one novelette, and eighteen short stories. The short story collection has now crossed 66k.
Although the list of short stories left to write is getting smaller, I still have several ideas to tackle.
So, asides from writing, I spent most of last week sorting, reorganising, and continuing with the spring cleaning. And of course that means that I kept having to undo everything I'd already sorted because new things popped up and I want certain things to have specific places. I've convinced myself that by doing that, I'll use more of my stationery and know where things are for a change.
It seems like spring cleaning is contagious because my husband has joined in the fun and we've been going through our toys, collectibles, board games, comic books, Lego, etc. We have a LOT of stuff and it definitely feels great to lighten the load, that's for sure.
I'm hoping to get back into it tomorrow...
Oh, and before I go, I've been doing Laini Taylor's Attic Notebook exercise this month. I've followed her prompts from last September and did my last one tonight. It was a lot of fun and I've already got the next month's prompts ready to go. 😊
Well, that's it for today. I hope you all have a fantastic week!
