Hi, there.
Looking back on this week, I have to say it was at least a bit more productive on all fronts than the previous week. Acceptable might be the most appropriate adjective I can think of.
As far as writing went, I put together a new book review for someone I posted on my Substack (as well as Goodreads and Medium), and some other odds and ends. I didn’t get as much done on The Yank Striker 2 as I did in recent weeks, but I’m hoping to pick it up soon.
I’ve long suspected I’ve underestimated the amount of time I spend on a regular basis planning my writing, and I’ve tried to keep it in mind this week. I might have done a little better in that regard, but I’m not sure.
Also, I’m still trying to figure out what my writing goals should be next year. I’m not sure if I should aim for 200,000 this next year, but I could probably pick out a number close to that for my quota, if nothing else. It will likely be something like attempting to finish The Yank Striker 2 in anticipation of a 2024 release.
Anyway, here’s the numbers for last week.
Writing statistics for the week ending 2S8 October 2023:
4,062 words written.
Days writing: 5 of 7.
Days revising/planning: 3 of 7 for 240 total minutes.
Daily Writing Goals Met (500+ words or 30 minutes of planning/revisions): 7 of 7 days.
That’s it for now; see you again next week.
