Taking a page from JFM's book
May. 30th, 2008 08:29 pmWell, I printed out a calendar for the rest of the year and tonight I'm working on my goals - writing, yard work, house, personal, etc. I looked at Covenant from the first posting over on the list through today - 166,062 words in 195 days, or 852 words per day (3075 words/chapter average). So I'm setting my goal for the rest of the year to write 852 words per day until it's finished, and then revise that for Tess (based on what kind of headache it is to keep up that pace). So who knows - I may actually have it completed by the time Billy gets back from her holiday. Yeah, right...
But I also have a ton of QPs to write, and finish up my holidays section, so I may set a goal of doing at least one of each per week until I'm caught up. Not too worried about the QPs, but the holidays tend to be longer. And of course once I get through with C, it'll be easier. I don't think Tess will be quite as difficult to get through; it's a much, much lighter story.
And then, after Tess, I'm planning on going back to the Randy series - officially called "Juggernaut" now ;-) The next story is called "Specter", and the obligatory quote is "I've seen a lot of people die, Smith. No one's come back for me yet." - Gerald R. Lindstedt . Wonder if anyone will remember who he is... :D But that's going to be another tough one - I'm a glutton for punishment.
So - all set. At least for a beginning of goal setting. Now if I could just plan out the chapters for each of these stories so I'd know when they *should* be completed.
Oh! And have to seriously think about the Nano thingy. That might be kinda fun, actually...
