Celebrate the Small Things 27-7-18
This post is part of Lexa Cain's bloghop, Celebrate the Small Things. Head on over there to join up!
What am I celebrating this week?
It's the Film Festival! Yes, two weeks in which to devour and savor the very best films from around the world. I have tickets to 20 or so films over the next fortnight, with the potential to pick up a few more if need be. It's among my favourite two weeks of the year and a time where I pick up so many ideas and themes for my stories. So while I don't expect to get much, if any, writing done, I don't consider it time wasted in any way, shape or form.
As for writing, I have done a bit this week, and my wordcount for the book is now sitting at around 21K. And in terms of hitting plot turning points, I feel like I'm on track. We've reached the turning point where things start to go sour. So the next few chapters will be fun to write as my MC's life starts sliding downhill fast. Fingers crossed the prompts continue to help drive the story forward. At least, the prompts on the days I find time to write.
What are you celebrating this week?
