Hello to everyone.
It was a… steady week for me, I would say. I met my daily quota one way or the other last week, the word count was above 4,000, which is always good, and I got some planning in as well. It might not be one of my all-time gang buster weeks, but I’m satisfied with it. Sometimes I think you have to give yourself a little bit of a break if you are making progress.
That can be a bit tough for me, especially when I want to get things done like The Yank Striker 2 (Working title), among other projects. I want to get them done in a timely manner, and I’m old enough to realize I won’t have an unlimited amount of time to finish everything I have in mind to finish writing. I want to be able to look back at things 30 years from now and be happy with what I put out, if nothing else.
Well, I was writing this week and throughout October, as well.
Writing statistics for the week ending 4 November 2023:
4,180 words written.
Days writing: 6 of 7.
Days revising/planning: 3 of 7 for 120 total minutes.
Daily Writing Goals Met (500+ words or 30 minutes of planning/revisions): 7 of 7 days.
Writing statistics for October 2023:
Words: 19,082
Revise/Plan: 540 minutes.
Daily Writing Goals Met: 83%
All good news on the numbers. I’m trying to reach at least 200,000 words this year, and it looks like I’m at least 6,000 words above pace so far, and I should make my goal of meeting my daily goals 75 percent of the time unless I see a real drop off in performance. Hoping for the best as fall, well, falls into winter and 2023 starts to wrap up.
See you later.
