Writing Updates

Julian Kennedy

Taking a few days off from writing. Husband is on a work trip and I need all the brain cells I can get. Might make my timeline a little loosey goosey but that’s okay 🖤 back to my draft on Thursday morning!


Julian Kennedy

A couple of (mostly) offline days. A nice brain break over Father’s Day weekend.

It’s taken a while for me to get to the mindset that I don’t need to be productive to have value. But I’m grateful I’m here.

I’ve never worked on a project in this way before. I’m sitting here looking at it, thinking, “Ughhhh I’m only at Chapter 14,” but already at 55k words lol. Rewrites are weird.


Julian Kennedy

Did a bit of writing but (mostly) taking the day off. My autistic little one has sleep issues and decided 330am was morning 🫩 back to it tomorrow!


Writer’s Accountability Post

Days left til (self-imposed) deadline: 42
Pace: 2 chapters a day
✔️Chapters read through: 13/96
✔️Word count goal: 56265/85000

On track to meet my deadline, especially because so much of it is already written and just needs reading through. I definitely think it’s doable!


Daily Writing Accountability Post

✍🏻Chapter 9 of 94 of “first draft”
Context: A lot of is already written and just needs tweaking! So when I say a chapter is complete it means it’s completely written/tweaked
🧮WC goal: 55309 of 85000
Goal for completion: 7/31 🎉


✨Daily Writing Accountability Post

✨Chapter 6 of 94 (I’d said 76, but I wasn’t factoring in that it’s mixed media and that the blog posts and things aren’t numbered in my outline 🫠)

At least a lot of is already written and just needs tweaking!
🧮WC goal: 54704 of 85000
If I want to finish by my goal of July 31st, I need to work on two chapters a day. Totally doable. 🎉
