Goal 1) HTWAN story
- My Goal: 505 wpd, 1515 wpw
- Where I planned to be: 42925 total words
- Where I am: 41527 total words
- On Target or Behind: Behind
How’s It Going:
This looks bad. But I’m taking it easy, and I spent a little time looking through a book I got for Christmas last year, Save the Cat! Writes A Novel by Jessica Brody. Long story, but basically she took a guide to story structure in screenwriting and adapted it to writing novels. Not much of a process guide, so it didn’t help me on its own, but picking it back up now did give me some ideas on how to end this thing, or at least a direction to run in.
I’ll probably go a little harder next week, with the combination of ideas, being officially done with one of my online classes (!!!), and one of my other classes easing up on homework as we gear up for finals. (Yes, I am one of those horrible, disgusting people who don’t have to study. Sue me.)
Goal 2) Some Kind of Savior
- My Goal: 1 Lesson per month, 3 scenes per day for Lesson 20
- Where I planned to be: 18 scenes in
- Where I am: 20 scenes in
- On Target or Behind: On Target
How’s It Going:
Not much to say, other than it’s going well. I’ve had to clean up a few things, rewrite some parts of scenes I’ve been putting off. Nothing spectacular.
