Yep. Behind. 😛 Boy this month is kicking my butt already! (Half the office is out this week, meaning I have to work full time instead of part time and can’t take any time off, one of the grandmas is out of town as well, meaning I have one less babysitter, and I’m supposed to be running a half-marathon in ten days and have only reached 4 miles in my training… *hyperventilates*… *channels calm*… okay anyway, let’s continue, shall we?!)
Let’s see if I can scrape things together and get something (more) accomplished without collapsing of exhaustion…!
This month, I will:
Complete and submit a short story for the NYC Midnight Short Story Challenge, deadline February 15th(done!)Keep up with Writing Prompt Wednesday posts(Mostly!)Work as much as possible on the novel and submit the WIP manuscript to Lulu.com for the free proof hardcover, deadline March 1st(done! SQUEE!!!)
I was hoping to have the novel rough draft COMPLETE by March 1st, but with everything else going on this month that is not looking so promising. On the other hand, I am really starting to get into the thick of the plot now and I’m really excited for the back half of this story. It is now at 79k+ words and climbing! Still nowhere near the longest original novel I’ve written (that would be the 220k+ I wrote by hand in highschool, yikes!) – but this IS the most progress I’ve made on an original story in a very long time, so I’ll take it! 🙂
That’s all for now, happy writing to everyone!
