THE PLAN
Over the course of three or so months (including June*), the plan is to write about 90,000 words of my current work in progress. I’ve been using a word tracker app to set monthly goals, it shows how much you have to write each day to hit your word count goal, and it’s been extremely helpful in motivating me to stay on track. (The app I’m using is an old one called WriMo Demon, I don’t think it’s available for download anymore, but I’m sure there are other similar apps.)
After I finish the first draft, I’m going to set it aside and hunker down to finish The Underbelly War. My goal will be to write another 30,000 or so words. At that point the story should be finished, and then I’ll set it aside.
After that, I’ll dive back into the inevitable mess that the 90k novel will be, and start rewriting/editing it.
Throughout this I’d like to carve out some time to write a few short stories that’ve been knocking around inside my head.
THE GOAL
Get some shit published.
So yeah, that’s the current plan. I might provide some progress updates along the way.
Are you working on anything, from a short story to a beefy epic, and if so how have you planned out your writing schedule?
*I started about a week into June, but as of today I’ve written 23,000 words of the 90k novel.
