Writing in Public - Year 1, Month 7, Days 22-28

My adoption of Dean Wesley Smith's Writing in Public challenge continues.

Last week's word count was a disappointing 5,677.  Sadly, I've done no better this week.

Monday, I wrote some more on the Revenant story for the ASL Series (x words) and a journal entry.

Tuesday I couldn't make the time and didn't have the mental energy to write, so nothing was written.

Wednesday, I watched a video that sparked the post about Michael O'Hare from Babylon 5 (739 words).  I also took notes from a writing book I read that will hopefully help me in the future (650 words)  The O'Hare post caught the attention of Babylon 5 series creator J. Michael Straczynski and many B5 fans.  That was an unexpected by pleasant surprise.

Thursday, I wrote a post for Begin Brewing (293 words) and a journal entry (657 words).

Friday and Saturday, I managed only two journal entries (235 words and 133 words).

Sunday, I wrote a post for How To Write Fiction (1001 words), a journal entry (540 words), and this post (184 words).

That's a total of 5,463 words for the week - less than last week's 5,677 (which disappointed me).
