I have a book to finish. (I always have a book to finish). I really have a book to finish and I'd like a first draft of it by the end of the summer ta very muchly. Or more properly by the middle of August when I will be going to France and while I "might" write, I don't really want to "have to" write, if you see what I mean.
Last night, 2nd June, I wrote just over 600 words on GA. I should be able to do something like that most nights.
So here are my rules (for me)
- 500 words a day
- 5 days a week
- until 14th August.
There will be days off, there will be days where more is written and where less is written, there will be days were I won't stop at all, or where I feel the need to run and hide under a duvet. But there should be about 2500 words written in any given week.
Would anyone like to join me in a not too stressful or heavy duty writerly plan? Tell me below, state your target. I like to keep mine relatively low because then if I do surpass it I feel all sickeningly virtuous. Come and help me get this book written, and let me help you get yours written. We can share wordcounts once a week (Monday? I promise I will try to remember) and maybe some snippets. And if anyone wants to give out, moan, woot or celebrate we can do that as well. Its all good.
And that's the plan. Who's with me for a writerly not-too-stressful summer binge?
Come and play

Wow, do you realise how much power you've just given me??? ;)
::grin::
I'll probably be pretty flexible about it and work on different things, 500 words added or deleted, sometimes just 500 words' worth of time, once I figure that out, but the point is, is that I need to be writing (real writing, not organizing/planning/critiquing) every day, and I'd really like to make that a goal.
Whatever works. I expect I'll be including some longhand days because sometimes that's the only way the story will come out. :)
Can't start until next week, because this week I'm immersed in a quick turnaround revision, but I'll write my demon mobsters story in parallel with your GA. I'm not sure if this one will be a novel or a novella, but at least it now has a working title: FEAR.
I did one chapter per week on BEAUTY last summer and that worked well, so I'll aim for the same rate of progress with this one.
You kick me and I'll kick you. (Course my kicks will get me more GA! LOL)

Hmm... you tend to kick hard, don't you?
I think, we'll see tomorrow when my brain is working, and I can have a look at the numbers needed for my WIP.
(Your Wolf books are now book-after-next on my TBR pile! Woohoo!)
Hope you enjoy the Wolf books.
500/day starting today. :D

Sounds doable...gads, I can't even belive I am thinking this....okay, I'm in.
It's such a teeny goal that there isn't really an excuse for NOT making it.
:D
