Progress Report for May 25, 2014
Oh joy, a week has already passed me by, and I still am not into the full swing of writing. Instead of writing from Tuesday to Thursday, I went out with friends and practiced presentations for a workshop. Everything with the workshop went off without a hitch and it was well received (collaboration tools and how to use these tools to improve student engagement in in an online course). Since I lost that time, I decided to stay in this weekend and work as much as I could on Tesla’s Travels. I wrote a lot over the last couple of days and like how the story is coming together. Also, I finally got to the point where my personal dreams (like nighty night dreams, not aspiration types of dreams) are completely based in the story. Which isn’t that great, because Tesla’s Travels is a frightening world to be a part of.
Either way, the current word count is: 25215. That means, I wrote 10,800 words in the last week. The goal is to hit my old stride which is about 5,000 – 7,000 a day. Otherwise, I will miss my deadline for the middle of June.

I have made some modifications to the site’s categories. I removed all the of the different short story categories, because they were outdated and not really used. Categorizing my work is probably the hardest thing to do. Also, I added a few categories, the main one is the Project’s Progress Update. This is for manuscripts or short stories. Over summer, I will be releasing a update weekly on Sunday (this is the first one). These updates will show progress on what I am currently working on. For example, this shows the change in the word count for Tesla’s Travels.
Water, tea, tea, water, water, water coffee, water, water, tea, tea, tea, water, water, coffee, and then water till bed was my drinking schedule yesterday. That led to a high level of production and pushed the current status of Tesla’s Travels to 14415 words. I didn’t get a chance to work on the project during the week because of Time, and work. However, I set Saturday aside and got a ton done. (Insert information about Sunday’s progress).
