ROW80 Update

Okay, so I definitely am only getting writing done 5 days a week. My 2 12.5 hour days are just not possible for writing. I am too tired when I get home and my brain does not want to do anything. Otherwise, things are going pretty well.

Except for the realization the other day that I'm going to have to shift from 1st person to 3rd person. CRAP. That's for the editing. Once I finish the scene I'm in, I'm going to have everything be in 3rd person and I can fix the stuff that's already been written when I get to the editing phase.

I would like to know, oh Muse, why did you not clue me into this earlier? Do you have any idea how much work this is going to cause me later on? Of course you do. You just don't care, do you? Damn.

On a positive note, I do have some really clever scenes coming up that I'm really looking forward to writing, so they should go relatively smoothly.

A Round of Words in 80 Days

So, I have been called out by one of my sibs, Jen. And, if I'm being honest, rightfully so. I've only owed her and Sam the end of my 2009 NaNoWriMo for months now. And, as I mentioned a few posts ago, I had hit a wall and was struggling to get past it. I guess I'm going to have to figure out how to do that, because here I am starting a new goal and a new adventure with this A Round of Words in 80 days.

The idea is to set an achievable, workable goal to last 80 days. I'm a few days late starting this round (there are apparently 4 rounds in a year), as it started on 4 July. So, I have some catching up to do.

My goal is going to be to write 30 minutes every day. The two days that this will be hardest are Thursdays and Fridays because I work 12.5 hours those days, but I'm going to do my best to get that time in those two days. So, Jen, your challenge has been met!

Oh boy. This should be interesting.
