My Shelf-ish Week #67

What I've Been Writing:

I haven't been keeping to my 1,000-word-per-day writing mission, but I am still making progress on Night Giver! We're at 148,000 words now, and I actually think we're nearing the final battle scene. Then, we need a conclusion, and yay...the rough draft just might be done and ready to move on to editing. I am so ready to move on to editing.

What I've Been Reading:

So I am not letting myself read anything until I've finished writing Night Giver's rough draft, which means nothing new has been read in the past two weeks.

What I've Been Stacking on my Shelves:

I received two books in the past two weeks. I got FairyLoot's To Down a Witch through Mercari. And I got the leatherbound version of Bloody Black from the author through TikTok. I think a flood of backorders will be coming in during the next few weeks, though.

My Shelf-ish Week #66

 What I’ve Been Writing:

So… I didn’t make my goal of finishing my story by the end of August. #Sadness. Which means, new goal. Starting at the beginning of September, I’ve been committed to not-going-to-bed until I have a thousand words written each day. And it’s been working. Feels like my flow may actually be returning.  Hopefully, anyway. The story is at 137,000 words right now.

What I’ve been Reading: 

I’m still working on the same book I was trying to get through two weeks ago.  Not making much progress. 

What I’ve Been Putting on My Shelves: 

I’ve gotten three awesome books in the past week. Say hello to Storm Caller, The Silversmith, and The Knave and the Moon.  Last week, I picked up the Bookish Box edition to Sea of Charms, and I had to have a copy of Spark of the Everflame, Glow of the Everflame, and Heat of the Everflame.
