ROW80 Check In

This week had unexpected amounts of running around, so I didn't get as much done as I wanted.  I didn't meet my weekly word count minimum, but like I said on Wednesday, I figured out the rest of my novel, which is a huge step forward and probably worth about two whole weeks of writing.  I probably wrote about 1500-2000 words this week (some of them long hand that I need to type up later, so not totally clear on the word count).

This week, for a change, I'm more happy with my non-writing goals.  I didn't actually track it this week, but I would say that I did meet my 4 hour minimum goal of prep (everything from rereading projects and writing myself notes to brainstorming to plotting to writing query letters).  I spent a little time rewriting a short story, read three books and one screenplay, and even though I only made it to the gym once this week, I worked out five days out of the seven.  I've also continued to be consistent with my blogging schedule this year, which I usually abandon about halfway through the second week.

Overall, I'm happy.  My goal is to finish my rough draft this upcoming week so that I can move on to rewriting my screenplay in February.

  3. Prep always fascinates me. I don't do it beyond a general outline and countless hours of day dreaming if I can't be writing.

    Because I "pants" it after coming up with an overall idea, my story constantly changes and evolves. Do you get that?
