(writing) I need some good goals for May

I did no goals for April, and didn't do a lot of writing, sadly. Only 6781 words in the whole month. Better than zero, but not happy about it. Now, yes, I had some health issues (when don't I?) and did a lot of editing. But I need to get the word count up, and I need some stuff done.

So, the goals for May:
- Morning Pages for every day the rest of the month
- 250 words of either worldbuilding, plotting or character sketches every day
- Edit Last Rites

I can do this. It's not really hard goals. And I'll be damned if I don't get at least one other book done this year.

I need content, dammit! And content doesn't just flow from nothing. You have to sit and write it.

BTW, YTD word count: 43,133

(writing) Month-end roundup, a little late

I actually didn't do too badly, considering how much time Birka ate in January. According to my word-count spreadsheet, I wrote 15,036 words in January - that included the plot outline for Last Rites as well as the actual novel. I'm hoping for more this month, obviously. :D

There will be more writing stuffs here soon, I promise. Including the Table of Contents for Rum and Runestones, which actually should be up later today. I'm just finalizing it now.

Off to the word mines go I.

Got some words last night@

But I forgot to post my count. :)

I'm actually over 16k for November, which is great, considering how badly I've been slacking off. And I'm almost at 50k for the book, which is even better. I might actually get this first draft done by Jan 1 after all.

More later - or maybe tomorrow. I have to work early tomorrow. I have to see 8 A.M. tomorrow.

Bleah.

Well, the first day of 2006, and I wrote 2006 words. How creepy. :P

It's a start - I only have about 28 to make up tomorrow. And I'd like to get a bunch written tomorrow, so we'll see. Maybe I can make a bigger dent.

I have a bunch of stuff to do in 2006 - too many projects on my plate right now. Tomorrow, time to make a schedule I can STICK with.

Now, time to head to bed...
