Well, here I am, halfway through the month of November, and I am pleased to say that things are going quite well regarding my progress on writing "Ailing Body, Nourished Soul." I seem to be getting into something of a routine, and if you know me, well, you know that is a good thing.
My goal for the month of November is 7,500 words written, which works out to 250 words a day. Being as half that total is 3,750, and today is the 15th of the month, I am thrilled to say that my current wordcount of 3908 is 158 words over my target. Woowoo!
I have gotten myself in the habit of opening my document nightly, after I've put the kids to bed, and writing my 250 or so words then before I do anything else on my computer. I sometimes get a chance to write at other times during the day, but that is not a regular thing. This schedule is working nicely for me.
I'd truly appreciate your prayers as I work through the second half of this month. I'm currently writing about some very difficult times at the beginning of Marc's health issues, and the emotions can sometimes feel quite raw. Thank you, all, for your encouragement and support in my writing journey. It means more to me than I can possibly say.
Join me to learn about my writing journey, as well as my editing and proofreading services. I would love to help you!
