Write-A-Thon Check-in!

I've been finding that when I have long train rides (like when I go to Pasadena), I can get a lot of writing done. Which surprises me. The train rides are only about an hour long, but both times that I've tried to write while waiting and on the train, I have written over 2k.

I wrote two chapters this week, so I made my goal. The second one wasn't quite 2,000 words, so my word total is only 3949 for this week. (Well, I've written a bit more since then, as I've done writing today.)

I don't know where my manuscript was at yesterday, but right now it's at 13,725. According to Scrivener, that's about 40 pages, which makes me feel like I have a nice chunk of a book already.

Writing on the train is a little dangerous, though. On both trains I took today, I only noticed my stop was coming up the stop before my stop because I was too focused. Whoops.

For me, traveling really boosts my creative feelings. I don't know why it is... I think riding on a vehicle is a little like stimming, for me, so it makes my brain more awake and creating.
