I knew I shouldn’t have put one of those little word count meter thingys on my blog page.
Now it just teases me and taunts me when it stands idle for a few days. Oops, more like almost a week.
It glares and asks in an all knowing tone, “When you gonna write something so I can advance the color a little bit, up the percentage some more?” And I just grumble at it, “Gimme a minute. Gotta do something else first.”
Not that I mind what I’ve been doing. I just finished reading/editing the 272 page ms my cp is sending in to Everlasting. What a good story. Great characters, unique way she put it together. Loved it. But because my weekend was shot to hell and I’ve spent the last couple of days reading, I haven’t got any writing in.
Hence the evil meter.
Guess I need to show that meter who wears the pants around here. Give it something to do.
Like advance.

Karen can you e-mail me at gorillalegs @ shaw.ca? I want to pick your brain about something.
Thanks, Donna

Karen, I have a word meter that I avoid updating. Probably because my word count consistently decreases every time I work on the document!
So… you’ve been reading? Does that mean your ModX delivery arrived? (aarrgggg… STILL waiting.)

I wish I was reading those books! It’s been almost a full month since I ordered. Last month I ordered them and it only took 3 weeks, which still drove me nuts. I wish they were in the US!!!!

I don’t use a wordimeter thingy. I would rather put it up when I’m like 10 pages from the end whaahahaha. Yes, I did write the whole manuscript in one day. *grin*

LOL, that’s why I put the meter on my page to guilt me into working more.
