It's week 5 of my summer writing goal of 233,000 words. Last week, I had a slow start but finished strong, and I managed to complete The Improbability of Forever and Paper Flowers while starting The Back of Wednesday. I'm still a little behind from the 3 weeks I was out of town/sick, but I'm going to try to make that up this week with a hefty weekly goal.
WEEKLY WORD COUNT GOAL: 35,000 words June 12:
TODAY I WROTE:
Unveil: 3,081 words
61683 / 233000 (26.47%)
I've got a long way to go before meeting my weekly goal, but it was a good start. Also started working on a schedule for my fall 2017 WIPs—I'm worried I won't have enough time to maintain consistent updates with school. We'll see!
JUNE 16:
TODAY I WROTE:
Unveil: 9,817 words Infiltration: 2,250 words {TOTAL: 12,067 words}
73750 / 233000 (31.65%)
New word count record! What a productive writing day—which is really good because I didn't write anything during the previous 3 super busy days. If I keep this up tomorrow and the day after I'll be able to meet my goal for the week, but I'm not sure if I can maintain that momentum.
I'm really excited about Unveil and think I might adjust my summer writing schedule so I finish it earlier—I need to start editing ASAP to prep it for submission to SwoonReads. I also need to finalize the outline for The Back of Wednesday. I have the detailed plot summary but haven't broken it down into chapters yet, and the lack of pacing is what's keeping me from writing more of it. Mental note for me to try and meet this week's goal: Tomorrow: Infiltration ch. 17-18; The Back of Wednesday ch. 3-4 Sunday: Infiltration ch. 19; The Back of Wednesday ch. 5-7 We'll see how this goes. June 17:
TODAY I WROTE:
Infiltration: 4,209 words
77959 / 233000 (33.46%)
It was a good day considering I was coping with a throbbing headache from spending all day glued to my computer yesterday. Edited my summer schedule to finish Unveil earlier, and started thinking about some new fall projects. I need to get back into writing The Back of Wednesday--I haven't done that at all yet this week.
June 18:
TODAY I WROTE:
The Back of Wednesday: 5,481 words Infiltration: 2,798 words {TOTAL: 8,279 words}
86238 / 233000 (37.01%)
I'm nearing the 50% mark of my goal! Super excited about that and ready to maintain my momentum from the last 3 days going into next week.
I wrote 27,326 words this week, which was shy of my goal but still a good amount. If I'd written June 13-15 I definitely would have gotten there. As always, my problem is making sure I write every day. That continues to be my goal for next week!
