Fess Up Monday
On April 21, I set a goal of 10K by the end of April. I’m pleased to report that I wrote nearly 15,700 words before 4/30. What’s even more impressive? My totals for May are already over 13K. Yes, I’m on a roll, or rather, I’m on the ROAD to Shanhasson. I’m in good shape to finish the first draft this month as I hoped.
This week, more of the same. I’m getting pretty high word counts so far in May, nearly 1900 a day, so I hope to keep this pace until Shannari finishes her business in Shanhasson. I do have another round of revisions to complete on BD this week, so I might take a slight hit in word count. We’ll see.
May is looking to be a NaNoWriMo type of month. I easily have 40K to write yet, even though I feel like I’m on the downhill slope. What do you hope to accomplish this month?

Goals for this month? I’m going on Vacation! So if I can keep my sanity until then, it’s all good. I’m also going to help stimulate the economy and spend part of my refund check.
Oh, and try to finish the short story.

yay! congrats! My goal is to finish Choir, which is looking like a half-goal, really. I’ve clarified all my ending stuff, all that’s left is to WRITE it, which looks like about 15-20k, quite doable considering I wrote 16k last week. I plan on taking it easier this week, but still.
I think I’ll add a month goal of doing a beat sheet for my next project.

I’m 15k from finishing my project I started mid March. Currently sitting at 65k and need to get to 80k.
