Sometimes I Surprise Myself
I’ve been working on the new ghostwriting project. It’s felt like I was going very slowly, with lots of distractions and many games of solitaire.
If you’d asked, I would have guessed I’d managed to write about 600 words. When I ran the word count, I was surprised and delighted to discover the piece is over 1,700 words!
Not a bad day’s work… or part of the day. I’ve done some other writing today too – and the jobs, and the newsletter… but this was my major project and I’m happy with the way it turned out.
Write well and often,

Isn’t it great when that happens? I had the opposite thing happen to me today. Thought I had written about 800 words… turned out to be 500. Oh, well… sometimes the words just flow, other times you gotta keep pumping to maintain the pace. ;)
