Friday JohnKu – AKA – TGIF

“It’s Friday. So much to do. So little time.”

“Here, we are again. Having to face another weekend away from our beloved work,” said no one ever. I hope you are looking forward to the weekend. I also hope your week was a good one.

Nothing much going on around here. Just plugging away on the WIP. Last week I finished up at over 61,000 words. This week’s total is over 68,000. That is still on the 1000 word a day goal. I am grateful I can continue the pace and don’t take the productivity for granted. We all know things could get in the way at any time, so I mark it up as a good run so far. It also means I’m about 75% complete on my first draft. Yeah, that feels good.

Today’s JohnKu talks about taking things for granted. I hope you enjoy your weekend.

We accomplish goals,

And tend to think it’s just us . . .

Fate is there to help.

  1. Haha I have a long weekend off Radius rehearsals but there is no rest for the wicked as my Mum reminded me this morning after I finish relaxing and reading my blog I’ve got to get on with learning my words and music for Romeo and Juliet, I hope fate shows up soon to help get me off the couch 😃.

    1. She also tells me she has no opposable thumb so it is pretty hard to pick up the toys. I remind her that the mouth can serve a pick-up function and she just looks at me.

  6. Sounds like great progress, John. It is always good when “those things” don’t happen. I’m poking around looking for yesterday’s post – no email. Have a great Friday and roll into the weekend a little early if you can.

  7. Personally, my struggle’s to keep it from being a three-day weekend. This is forecast to be the hottest day of the year, and I’m not certain anything with AC wouldn’t be better than work. If Fate shows up, I hope she brings clouds! Congrats on your progress — do you ever do weekend work on a WIP if things are going really well?

    1. Thanks, Linda. Yes, I write at least 1000 words a day, seven days a week. Gives me at least 7000 words for the week. I very seldom keep going even if I’m in a groove. I’m pretty lucky in that I can pick up the groove the next day. So I’m like an elephant and lumber as opposed to a sprint. On top of that, I do the blog every day as well so I need to conserve energy (so to speak) 😀

  15. What was said, that serves as a source of endless amusement and inspiration for us, is what the dowager countess from the tv show Downton Abbey asked:

    “What is a week-end?”

    🙂

  21. Your Johnku is very true. You can make all the plans you like but sometimes life gets in the way. I’m happy you’re on a good roll, John. Congrats on being 75% done! 😀 xo

  22. Three-fours done on the first draft of your WIP?? Awesome, John! I need to be as organized and determined as you are. Odd how things just get in the way — things that need to be done, and I’m the only one who can do them.

  25. Holy Hannah! I could never do even half that, John. That’s an amazing rate of words. Kudos.
    Oh, and I love the pink pig toy. I see Twiggy is not short of playthings. 😀 My old friend who lives in the next town commented on Crystal’s gallon ziplock bag of cat ball-toys. She got playful yesterday and even did the “springbok” pounce (all fours in the air at once, then pounce). She hasn’t done that since before all the pre-move chaos set in, back in February when I donated our furniture. She’s 13 now so those moments are cherished. Hugs on the wing.
