Goal Update 12/14

Goal 1) HTWAN story

  • My Goal: 150 wpd, 450 wpw
  • Where I planned to be: 44150 total words
  • Where I am: 44552 total words
  • On Target or Behind: …FINISHED!

How’s It Going:
IT IS DONE. Almost 500 words short of 45k, but that’s okay. I realized about halfway through that I dropped a piece of technology that became pretty important toward the end, so I know I’ll end up adding words in revision. But either way, it’s done!

My official finish date was the 12th, so my earliest pick up date to start revision on this would be Jan 11th, if I use the 30-day mark. I will… probably not start that soon. I have another novel in the wings waiting for revision first. And it’s ready to go, ASAP.

Code name “Something You Can’t Understand”

Yes, I was smart this time and printed one-sided, and it is a whopping 358 pages, just over 50k words.

Goal 2) Some Kind of Savior

  • My Goal: 1 lesson per month, 10 pages per day for type-in
  • Where I planned to be: 60 pages typed in
  • Where I am: 81 pages typed in
  • On Target or Behind: On Target

How’s It Going:
I’m having to pace myself, because all I want to do is rip through the rest of it at once. But it’s going well. What’s great is the closer I get to the end, the less work I have to do, because the beginning was more messed up than the end. There is a lot of cutting and pasting going on though, where I’ve moved entire scenes around.

I am gonna have to go through when I’ve got everything cleaned up and really get my time straightened out. I couldn’t do it on paper very easily, with everything so screwed up, but hopefully it won’t take long on the computer.
