Write-A-Thon

Categories: Business, My Work, Writing

ETA: Plague Lives Draft 1 is done! I knew I didn’t have a full 10k to the end. However, look at the over all word count. When I started writing I planned to do three 20k sections, for an overall size of 60k. I have never gotten so close to my goal word count. Also, save for the Moon Madness/Wolf Heart rewrite (which may not count because it was a story I’d already written twice before) this is my longest first draft ever, by about 20k.

I’m definitely progressing when it comes to storytelling and story pacing.

It’s been a crazy year and I’ve gotten a lot of writing stuff that isn’t actually writing done so far, but it is beyond time for me to be done with Plague Lives because I made a goal to finish it in April and haven’t written more than 1 or 2k on it in June. I’m also only 10k or less from the end and I know how it ends now, so all this other bull is just distraction.

So I will finish it before July.

Anyone else want to join in on a Write-A-Thon to boost a word count or finish a project? If so leave me a link and I’ll stop by on breaks to cheer you on.
