700 words so far today!!!! I’ll get the last 300 words before bed (maybe, I’ll even go over that).

I was lying in bed last night and it occured to me that my writing pattern is very much in tune with my yo-yo dieting pattern.

I always start off fast and furious:

In writing I start off doing maybe 5000 words a day.

In dieting I sometimes lose half a stone a week. 

And then I get tired. So my writing dwindles to zero words a day and I gain weight like food is going out of fashion.

That is why I’m going to take it slow. No crazy big word counts and no starving myself. 7000 words a week is good enough for me. And losing 2 pounds a week is pretty damn good too. 

I wanted to let any of you who are interested know that I am no longer affiliated with Twilight Fantasies. Midnight Melody is not available on their website anymore.

I am looking forward to moving on from this, especially as I have books coming soon from both Freya’s Bower and Cobblestone Press. And hopefully, I’ll be able to find a home elsewhere for Midnight Melody.
