Now that everyone knows about my Holly Lisle addiction loyalty… I’m currently participating in her Summer of Fiction Writing event. Which is almost over. My timing is bad.

HOWEVER. I’d like to fill everyone in on what I’m doing for the event. So.

GOAL ONE

• My clear target is: Write 19,695 words of my HTWAN project.
• My reachable deadline is: August 31, 2019
• My working days are: Tuesday, Thursday, and at least Saturday or Sunday (if not both)
• My method of measuring progress: Word count
• My end goal: 19,695 words (plus what I already have written, should total 25,755)
• My daily goal, and number of available days: 505 words, 3 days minimum/week
• My leverage — WHY I need to do this: I want to prove to myself that this is something I can do more than once, something that I don’t have to agonize over for years because I “don’t have a good idea”, and something I can do in a relatively timely manner, without burning out.

GOAL TWO

• My clear target is: Finish Lesson 17 of HTRYN on Some Kind of Savior.
• My reachable deadline is: August 31, 2019
• My working days are: Tuesday, Thursday (possibly Saturday or Sunday, but not required)
• My method of measuring progress: Scenes rewritten
• My end goal: 23 scenes rewritten
• My daily goal, and number of available days: 1 scene, 2 days minimum/week
• My leverage — WHY I need to do this: I want to make this story the best it can be, and to do that, I need to finish this lesson. This thing is so broken, but I know it can be great if I try.
