Noveling Goals:
Long Goal - To have my novel ready for self-publishing (yes, I have decided that for the first few novels I’ll go that route) by December 27th, 2011. My lucky number is going to be 70,000 words. That will take approximately 55 days to complete, which is 9 weeks (one day off a week). I could be done by August 28th with the rough draft. That would give me 4 months to draft and redraft it to get it ready for publication. I’m honestly not sure how hard the re-drafting is going to be, having never quite reached that stage in my noveling process. Is noveling even a word? It is now!
Medium Goal: To have the first draft finished by/before August 28th. This is with writing 1,300 words a day.
Short Goal: Starting today (6/23) I will write 1,300 words onto my book. Sundays will be “off” days, all other days are “write” days.
Growing Goals:
These goals are goals that will help me develop into a better writer.
