You know I’m having a bad writing day when I’m sitting around for the umpteenth time with a calculator determining how many pages are left in my book and how many pages need to be in how many chapters before the end.
And then blogging about it.

Ahh, I guess I have to agree with you on that! 😆
I know you have to write so many pages per book but I didn’t know there had to be a certain number per chapter. It seems to me you should be able to just write until you are done with the story! Of course, I know that isn’t how it works though. 🙁

Carol, there doesn’t have to be a certain number per chapter by any rule or anything. I just like to figure how many chapters I’m going to write and then divide that up into pages in order to convince myself I’m actually doing something writing-related when I’m really staring at the wall. 😕

Why does playing Guessing Games sound so much more fun today than writing? Is there a way to make a living at that? 🙄

When I’m already thinking about pages in my book and I’m only at page 200, I’m in trouble.
Then again, I do this every time.

I feel your pain. Pretty bad when I have my calculator accesory (on the computer) minimized so I can pull it up about every five minutes. heh
