This is it the last word count Wednesday
I can honestly say I will miss them
So goodbye word counts goodbye
What am I working on?
As I'm sure many of you are, I'm working on my portfolio. Gathering the experiments and finishing up some poems I can't wait to turn it all in.
What do I think about the process?
It has been an absolute blast and I'm happy to see it all come together but sad to see it go.
A final farewell to a fun and inspiring professor and a class filled with students with creativity that knows no bounds keep on writing and get published.

Word Count Friday
A late Word Count Wednesday
I've been sick so here is my word count
What have I been working on
Well for the past several days I've been working on the drama scene. I've thrown around a couple ideas until I found one that I really enjoyed and that I could have a lot of fun with. Hopefully all goes well and I can create something decent.
How has the process been?
Short story, hard. I have never done anything like this before so I was unprepared. It took me awhile to come up with an idea and a lot longer to start writing. It is fun writing only dialogue and letting the characters tell the story.
What have I been reading?
Nothing right now.

Word Count Wednesday #14
What am I working on?
I've started to think about ideas for my next chapter I've written down a few things but nothing really as of yet.
How do I feel about the process?
It is definitely a lot harder than I ever thought it was going to be. I want to not only please myself but make it so that people want to read it. It's a tough balance but I'm going to keep trying.
What am I reading now?
Still pushing through The Road

Word Count Wednesday #13
What am I working on?
I've taken a bit of a break after writing my second chapter but I'm going to give slam poetry a shot and see what I can do with it.
How do I feel about the process?
I was pleased with my second chapter but I haven't figured out exactly where the book is going. But I'm excited to see what slam poetry brings to the table and what I can do with it.
What am I reading now?
Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf for my other English class.

I've just been working on my second chapter for the submission.
How do I feel about the process?
It has been good so far, I've introduced new characters and I'm enjoying discovering who they are and their purpose in my narrative.

Lately, nothing to be honest.

Word Count Wednesday #11
What am I working on?
My novel. After the last submission I've gone back and tried to figure out exactly what I wanted to do and I'm still trying to figure that out. I've started to write an alternate version of my book this time with a new lead and the two cops coming in later as minor characters. I also have thought about the plot more and where I might want to take but so far nothing concrete.
How do I feel about the process?
It's tricky, to be honest. Finding out what will work what characters go well together and the overall appeal of the story are things that have proven to be quite the challenge.
What am I reading now?
Still just reading The Road and blogs.

Word Count Wednesday #10
What am I working on?
After the character building we did today in class I've decided to use that character in a story. When I finished writing the first chapter of my novel, I wasn't entirely happy with the outcome therefore I want to take a different approach this time using this new character.
How do I feel about the process?
I have always been one to make up a character as I wrote, but after today's activity I've been exposed to a whole new world of character building. Moving forward I plan on always creating a character in depth before writing their story.
What am I reading now?
I am still reading and having a lot of fun with The Road.
