I'm declaring victory on my plan to write ten Sign & Sacrifice entries in ten days. Some of them are pretty anemic entries and it took me until 6PM today to finish the last one, but I'll take it.

It wasn't much writing by NaNoWrimo standards: six or seven thousand words in ten days, versus seventeen thousand. But the story is progressing again, and maybe having worked on it for a while I'll be more motivated to keep at it. I guess I'll know it four weeks, if I've run out of buffer and don't have anything new to post yet. o.o;;

Other things I did last week:

* Wrote three [livejournal.com profile] delight_in_wt entries so that I'd have one for last Thursday, today, and tomorrow (rightly reasoning that I wasn't going to want to write one tonight for tomorrow).
* Ran the usual World Tree game on Thursday instead of cancelling it so I'd have more time to write.
* Went to work each day instead of calling in so I'd have more time to write.

So, yay me, I didn't blow off any of my other commitments so I could make the newest one. I just made it anyway. Yay!

Incidentally, I wound up doing almost all the writing on S&S on the weekends. Two entries on each Saturday & Sunday, one entry on the last Friday, and one entry today. I did very little during the week apart from some game prep for World Tree.

I am still trying to persuade myself that the schedule I am currently shooting for -- two entries for S&S and three for Delight-in -- is somehow reasonable. I just have to write a few Delight-in entries during the week and a couple of S&S on the weekend and I'm good. Please disregard that this adds up to more words per month than The Master Plan that almost broke me when I was writing Prophecy. Yeah.

For now, I'll just rest on my laurels. And get an entry together for Delight so I have something to post there Thursday.

Seriously, this thing where I go to bed after midnight and get up around 7AM = !working. z.z I almost called in to work so I could go back to bed. Instead, I have staggered in for an unproductive work day of EPIC proportions.

In unrelated news: having completely failed to write anything but [livejournal.com profile] delight_in_wt for the last month, my plan is to do a 10in10 of just Sign & Sacrifice* entries, starting tonight. I’m not actually going to post a S&S each day, because after writing Delight for a month I’ve come to like having a (modest) buffer of posts ready to go. So I’ll probably post them at two a week, on Wednesday and Friday. Assuming I actually manage to keep writing Delight (she has a buffer of two and a half posts right now), that should add up to one post a weekday for those who read both UnfinishedTales and [livejournal.com profile] delight_in_wt. (All two of you!) I have some doubts about the viability of this, even for the very short term that I’m planning.

* Alternatively, I may write Birthright. S&S is closer to completion and I'm somewhat more motivated or at least clueful about what I'm doing with it, though. So betting on S&S.

The plan looks like this:
