Running The Asset
Word Count Update
Super quick update on today’s progress. I added another 1442 words to Running The Asset‘s manuscript, taking it to a total of 16,600 words!
Thanks for joining me on this adventure! Stay safe.
Last week was pretty uneventful. It was just a cycle of work, housey stuff, and dealing with the heat. Yes, I know, I’m in Scotland, but it does get hot here (27 degrees is hot for us) plus, there’s no air conditioning, and the sun blazes from 0430-ish to 2200-ish. 🥵
Oh, and we’re being terrorized by this cute wee cat who seems to want to adopt us.
(We would love to adopt her, but our rental contract doesn’t allow animals. 🥺 )
No, but I did get pretty close. I wrote exactly 4,500 words that stuck, and have blocked out the next two scenes for writing. I’m very happy with the progress; 15,158 words total, that’s sixteen percent of the first draft written! 😁
| Thursday | Write 1000 words |
| Friday | Write 1000 words |
| Saturday | Day off |
| Sunday | Write 1000 words |
| Monday | Write 1000 words |
| Tuesday | Write 1000 words |
| Wednesday | Day off |
That’s it for today. Thanks for stopping by, and take care.

Not so much a word count update, more of a work update. I mentioned yesterday that today I’d be blocking out the next scene.
The scene is all blocked out, but other attention stealing things got in the way. So, instead of fighting to get new words down, I decided to block out the next scene, too. Which means I’ll be all ready to get new words on the page on Thursday without too much resistance.
Running The Asset‘s manuscript is still sitting at a total of 14,278 words.

As the title suggests, this is a double update. I’ve been working on a lengthy sequence for the last few writing days. And, to be honest, it’s been hard work. There was a lot of setup (security systems etc. that my bad guy has that Elle, my heroine, needs to navigate) that had to be shown while not doing an info dump.
I’m happy with how it turned out, and that I was able to get the sequence to do a lot of heavy lifting in respect to character, backstory hinting, and adding to the enemies-to-lovers aspect of the romance story.
I added 1,626 new words to Running The Asset‘s manuscript! Taking the manuscript to a total of 14,278 words.
I finished the sequence! I added another 880 words, taking the total wordage to 15,158 🥳
Tomorrow is going to be fun. I’m blocking out bad guy Trevor Blackwell’s first Point of View (POV) scene. Starting to worry that my level of excitement is a wee bitty too high. Screw it! I cannae wait!
Thanks for joining me on this adventure! Stay safe.
Woohoo 🎉 I added another 747 new words to Running The Asset‘s manuscript! The story now sits at 12,652 words total.

It’s been a rough week. Jez and I had a bit of a COVID scare, luckily we’re negative, and the high-temperatures are starting to reduce! We still can’t leave the house until our temps are consistently normal for forty-eight hours.
But, I did manage to get some work done.
No, but I did add another 3737 words taking the manuscript to a total of 10,658 words.

Super quick update. I added another 1608 new words to Running The Asset‘s manuscript! The story now sits at 10,658 words total.

On Saturday, I shared that we were isolating because of possible COVID-19. Our tests came back negative. Woohoo. But, because we still have high temperatures we still have to isolate until we’ve had them down for forty-eight hours.
I have to say, whatever it is that’s got us is exhausting. We’re both so tired and our skeletons hurt. Adding that on top of CRPS has made it difficult to concentrate on writing for the last couple of days. Saying that, I did finally manage to get some new writing done.
I blocked out the next scene, after staring at the index cards for two days and coming up with nothing. Plus, I added another 323 new words to Running The Asset‘s manuscript! The story now sits at 9,050 words total.
Thanks for joining me on this adventure! Stay safe.
