I was able to get through about 2,300 words during the weekend. By far my most productive weekend, but still shy of where I wanted to be. There had been hope that I could finish the manuscript before the final hours of Sunday, but I found “Weekenditis” had taken hold.

What is Weekenditis? To keep it short, it’s a condition which affects me during the weekend and prevents me from getting any actual writing work done. Oh sure I get other things done, but my writing comes to a complete halt. It’s a rich combination of laziness and procrastination with a small bit of avoidance thrown in for spice.

In the coming days, I’ll talk a little bit more about Weekenditis and how to combat it, but for now let’s continue with the update on my progress.

I’ll be setting a new goal to finish the novel by the end of the week on Sunday. I’m confident I’ll have it wrapped up before then, but I want to put a self-imposed deadline to push me to finish it.

And after that it’ll be time to take a harrowing spin through Revision Land.

Beware the Red Pen! Beeeewwwwaaaaarrrrrrreeeeee!!!
