Now that Camp NaNoWriMo is over for the month, let's see how I did on those goals!
Primary Goals:
- 25k words - smashed this out of the park; I ended the month with 40,540 words. Part of this is because Meghan and I got to write together this month, which hasn't happened in a few months. I'll take it, because it boosts my word count and it's fun to write with other people.
- Angel of Mine, an MCU AU with angels and demons involved - I do wish I got a little further with this, considering I had this lofty goal of getting ten chapters drafted over the course of July which, lol, don't happen. I'm probably in what will be considered Chapter 4, but I still have time.
Secondary Goals:
- My Press Start assignment, then treats - I have drafted my assignment, plus a treat, plus one more started. Yeah, safe to say I've done well with that, lol.
- Seven Seas of Rhye - Whoops. Didn't even touch it. I think I looked at the Scrivener doc a couple times though.
- A Hero Lies in You edits - Though I haven't started actual edits, I did make a timeline for the story, which I didn't bother to do while I was writing the first draft, and I have a good idea of what scenes need to be added for the next draft. I still have to look at the back half of the novel for additional scenes (likely towards the end), but I'm okay with the progress made on this one.
This round was more productive than I thought it was going to be. Part of that is because I unexpectedly ended up with two weeks off that I hadn't planned for, and was actually able to write at home for that time. I have a routine for when I'm home now that balances writing and crafting, and I'll keep that up for as long as it's working.
Now to knock out August's editing goals! What is everyone working on this month?
