Slowly losing my mind

Goal 1) Write BM&A3

  • My Goal: 500 WPD, 1500 WPW
  • Where I planned to be: 4500 words
  • Where I am: 4507 words
  • On Target or Behind: On Target

How’s It Going:
Not well. I’m still not meeting my daily goal, and I barely scraped enough words together this week to hit my weekly goal.

Part of my problem is I know where I need to go, but I’m not sure how to get there.

Tender age in bloom

Goal 1) Write BM&A3

  • My Goal: 500 WPD, 1500 WPW
  • Where I planned to be: 1500 words
  • Where I am: 2401 words
  • On Target or Behind: On Target

How’s It Going:
So I had a bit of a headstart. Sue me.

I’m actually kinda glad I did, because hitting that 500 daily word mark…did not happen. But you know what, that’s okay, because I know I’ll hit my groove here eventually. It’s only the first week.

Imagine no possessions

It occurred to me that I didn’t specify a start date for writing the next book in my previous post. I’ve already written a little this week, but I haven’t been trying to hit a specific word count. Mostly just planning and preparing myself for the headspace. I will officially start writing to my daily goal next Wednesday, 6/28.

The world’s a rollercoaster and I am not strapped in

The Atheist’s Inferno is complete! I appreciate everyone who’s supported me along the way, everyone who’s already snatched it up, and everyone who reads it going forward. If you haven’t picked it up yet, it’s available for $2.99 until Monday (6/19), when it will go up to $3.99 to match TAP. Speaking of, that is ALSO on sale for only $.99 until next Thursday (6/22), so if you haven’t grabbed it yet, now would be a good time to take advantage.

I bet everyone’s wondering what’s coming next. Well, friend, I am here to tell you!

GOAL 1) Write BM&A:3

  • My clear target is: Write the first draft of book 3
  • My reachable deadline is: June 30, 2024
  • My working days are: Wed-Fri, Sat/Sun if needed
  • My method of measuring progress: Word count
  • My end goal: 50,000+ words
  • My daily goal, and number of available days: Write 500 words, 3 days a week
  • My leverage — WHY I need to do this: Inheritance? The internet? I inherited the internet! (oh, wait…) Because Andrew won’t leave me alone. Uhhhh, because I have to know how Madison’s story ends just as bad as everyone else. And I have ideas.

My original goal for The Atheist’s Inferno…died a fiery death, screaming the whole way down into the deepest darkest pit in Hell. Not to say it was unattainable, just life got in the way, and I let it. And that’s on me.

So for Book 3, I’m giving myself a year. Lenient? Maybe. I do have a full-time job now, but it is MUCH less exhausting, even if it is more mentally taxing than washing cars all day. But because it’s almost exclusively technical, it leaves my creative side free to wander, and I’ve honestly been itching to start writing this for months now.

Ready…Set…Terrible!

Some people have all the luck. Apparently, I am not some people.

Between the crap job market and my podunk hometown’s limited dating pool, being an adult after graduation is not all it’s cracked up to be. Just when I thought things couldn’t get worse, my guardian angel, Keziah, returns to give me the news: Lucifer owns my soul and wants me dead, ASAP.

I don’t know which of Lucifer’s soldiers is hunting me down, or if there even is a way to get my soul back, but the small part of my brain that isn’t busy drowning in alcohol knows that I have to do something. Even if that something involves dark, dangerous magic, which it…most likely does, from my experience.

Buy the book to follow Madison through hell…
