He is doing better and was hilarious talking to the doctor this afternoon, describing all his symptoms like a tiny little man. <br /><br />I like the feeling of completion, getting a whole chapter done before I step away.Tonjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08652479946102909276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1598482777681428179.post-55556487679682046322012-02-20T23:35:01.832-05:002012-02-20T23:35:01.832-05:00Thanks.

I started breathing better immediately after quitting and even better after we replaced our home furnace and AC. Good luck on your recovery - I agree your health has to come first.Tonjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08652479946102909276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1598482777681428179.post-66262487717695674812012-02-20T23:29:18.758-05:002012-02-20T23:29:18.758-05:00I think one or two pages will be a good goal for m...I think one or two pages will be a good goal for me over the next two weeks.

I write short chapter books for kids, though, so I'm able to do that. If I was writing a novel, I don't think I could. It would be a page or two at a time.Sherry Ellishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07844837212122243321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1598482777681428179.post-10555895162355475842012-02-20T14:31:57.988-05:002012-02-20T14:31:57.988-05:00I hope your kid feels better soon and that you get...I hope your kid feels better soon and that you get some rest to take a look at your WIP with a clear head.Michael Offutt, Phantom Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557969104886174930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1598482777681428179.post-74151795777780733012012-02-20T13:38:59.962-05:002012-02-20T13:38:59.962-05:00Hi Emily

It turns out that the place we moved to has numerous toxic chemicals, so I'm moving soon. My writing has taken a back seat and my characters are banging on the front door. When I do write, I don't set rules. I have a childrens book series that is about 14 pages per story, so it is written most of the time in one sitting. My epic fantasy is written usually per chapter, but not always. I also have another story that is in first person, I'm still developing this idea.<br />Hope the school turns out to be great.<br />NancyN. R.

I'm a very slow writer. I write one to two pages a day. Five pages in a day is probably the most I've done. Last week wasn't a good writing week for me either. I got lost in the weeds a little as far as plot goes. Hoping to figure it all out this week and get back on track.Luanne G.

Besides, I write so slow, taking time to find the proper wording, that a whole chapter would take five hours or more!Alex J.

Sometimes it's a few sentences, sometimes a few paragraphs, sometimes future scenes, sometimes past scenes, sometimes lots of chapters.Laura Josephsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04239501665574945313noreply@blogger.com
