Steady progress
I am happy to report that I met my week’s goal, caught up to my ROW80 goal-to-date, and then wrote some more. I hit a total of 1631 new words last week, so I am in good shape to push further this week as well.
Still not sure exactly how long this book will be, so I will continue on with a rough goal of 65,000 words because why not? As long as I keep writing it’s all good.
Here’s the blog hop link for this check-in. Good luck to everyone!
Reaching your goal is awesome! 65,000 seems like a reasonable length for a novel. Good luck from a ROW80 blog hopping friend.
Thanks so much, and all the best to you too!
Great work! Hope this week is just as productive.
Great progress. May the words continue! I’m noticing you have several WIPs listed. Are you working on all of them at the same time???? I tried that once and found I can only work on one wip at a time, even though other ideas scrabble for attention. 65,000 sounds like a good goal. I did doublecheck to find that word length varies by genre and sci fic tends to be longer. All the best for a good writing week.
Thanks, Marina!
And thank you too, Beth. I am actually only working on one project right now. I have several projects listed, which I have worked on over the past year or two, because I kept hitting a wall at a certain point and not knowing how to continue.
As you can imagine, this was really frustrating to me. So I’ve been using ROW80 to try and train myself to a steady focus on one project only. Because you are so right, it doesn’t work for me to try and start over and over. I need to learn how to follow through.
But the other projects are still alive in my imagination, so I keep them here to think about for what comes next.
