10/30 Check-In: Almost November
This week has gone pretty well for me. Been meeting goals for the most part.
WIP: added 5763 new words. I may add some more to it tomorrow, but then I will be setting it aside. After I finished my NaNo novel(probably sometime in December/January), I’m going to go back to the novel I finished in July(Serial Neighbor) and apply the snowflake method to it and rewrite it. I knew shortly after finishing it that it would need to be completely rewritten. I tried to cram the whole storyline into about 3 weeks, and that made the romance development incredibly rushed. I’m hoping with some planning ahead of time(instead of when I’m in the middle of the story), I can make it better.
Nano: Not much longer to go until the craziness starts(although anyone who knows me, knows it never ends). And I’m pretty much done with the planning stage. I got all of the major scenes figured out. I know there will be more scenes to add as I start writing, so my outline is flexible to allow for that. I got the timeline all worked out(even though it may change as I start to write). Just about ready to start writing on Tuesday. Really getting excited to start working on this.
Blogging: I got posts up on Monday, Wednesday, & Friday, so still on track with this goal.
Exercise: only worked out 3 times(Tues, Wed, Fri) this past week. Should have done it Saturday too, but I didn’t. Don’t really have an excuse as to why I didn’t. Just didn’t.
For the next month, my goals will be changing. I’m going for a target of 1500-2000 words a day. I know some days I may write more toward the higher end and others I may struggle to even meet that minimum amount, but hopefully it will all balance out to an average of 1667 a day(so I can meet 50K in 30 days).
