working hard or hardly working?

So, the other day I took a bit of a writing break because my computer was acting strange and I was terrified that if I opened my book file it would all mysteriously delete. But then my computer was been acting much better, so I decided to risk it.

I've completed about 1,000 words each day since then. I did get a bit distracted when it came to my attention that I had yet to watch Breaking Dawn Part 1 (which was epic!). I haven't done any writing today, but I might get some done later. But I have been doing a little writing on another project of mine, just to get my creative juices flowing again. I've been a little novel-ed out, to be honest.

Anyway, what I've accomplished (in the novel):
-fight scene between 2 main characters
-major explanation of a mystery which sets up the plot of the entire book
-end of Act I, beginning of Act II

Total Word Count: ~14,000 words
Total Page Count: 33 pages

That's awesome, and a lot of progress! Honestly, I think that hammering it out is the best way to get things done.

Thanks! But as for the progress... I'm not really sure. I've written much more much quicker (50,000 words in 2 days), but that was fanfic. Original fiction is proving to be much slower for me, which is frustrating. Still, I keep on keepin' on.
