So.
Can you believe that this is the fourth week of November? Already!
Seriously. I know I've said this about a thousand times, but this year is going way too fast, which some people might think is a good thing. 2016 hasn't been very kind, has it? It's taken a lot from us and it definitely feels like the negative energy is trying to eclipse all the positive vibes.
Anyway. Let's concentrate on the good stuff.
Last week, I reached the 50k-word target and finished my first draft. And this week I validated my story. Yay.
This is what my stats looked like:
Not bad. I'm really happy with the word count progress I made during the month. I'm also really excited about this novel. So excited that even though the story is done for now:
- I've already started a revision list
- Took notes with additions
- Have decided to change several names
- Keep updating files
Yeah. It's still very much in my head. And that's why I'll tackle a few of these things next week before putting it away so I can get some distance.
The rest of this week involved a LOT of photo/pic/file housekeeping. It was SO TIME CONSUMING that I've decided to start a weekly update so I can (hopefully) stay on top of this.
Let's hope I can stick to the schedule. *fingers crossed*
Asides from tidying up all the clutter from my files AND brain, I caught up on some reviews:
- HAMILTON: The Revolution by Lin-Manuel Miranda & Jeremy McCarter
- MOUNT BUGGERY TO NOWHERE ELSE by Eamon Evans
- BLACK DOG by Neil Gaiman & Daniel Egnéus
- THE MONARCH OF THE GLEN by Neil Gaiman & Daniel Egnéus
I also DNFd a book. Got a rejection for one of the anthologies I subbed to a few months ago. And got a bunch of real life stuff done.
That's about it. I'm ready for a few days off. :)
Hope you have a great weekend!
