January Synopsis

14540 is the grand failure total of words for January, but I blame the fact that I was quite depressed for most of the month. I'm feeling a bit brighter this month, and getting a better idea of Captive (the 170,000 word novel of doom that I still have yet to finish), so I hope I'll actually start to catch up to my goal, and make up some for the bad last month. I can still do this! I just have to be more committed to it.

So far this month I've written around 6000 words. I'd have to triple that to reach my goal for today. I don't expect to get anything near that written today, but I hope a just adding a few more words a day can get me the distance. If I pretend I'm going for 100k like I did for NaNo and try for 3000 a day, I'll be in good shape!

Wordcount Widgets

These are my widgets: I'm using two of them, one for the full year, and one for the 50k goal for the month. So if you ever want to know just how far behind I am, I sometimes update these :)







Oh, and here's some links:

This is an optional part of WriYe, a year long workshop that I hope will help me get through my story!

Did someone say, . . 100K?

Doy. I just realized that I never posted on here about the end of NaNo! Well. . .

I got to 100k!! Specifically, I got 101,549 words, official grand total! I tried tweaking for that to end with a 47, but it just didn't happen. :)

Anyway, right now I'm trying to write poetry for the first time in weeks, and I think remembering I had yet to post this was an avoidance tactic, so I'm not going to spend too much time writing this. But I also wanted to mention that I'm signed up for WriYe next year, for 600,000 words for the whole year. That's 50,000 a month. A NaNo a month. Did I mention I'm also insane?

Anyway, I'm "choukuro" on the WriYe site, same as for NaNo, but without the space in the middle. Yep.
