Finding my Feet Part 7— November Wrap-up

November went better. I’m starting to work out where my limits are and to balance them with my work. It does mean not writing as much as I used to, but it doesn’t mean giving up writing entirely. Writing Me: 1.       Adventure1: Scene 2: Monster Stats /4 +; 2.       YA Novel1: Outline: Ch.1-4; character development:partial; 0/2000wds. 3.       Short Story1: outline: not completed; 0/2,000 words. 4.       Project1: Chapter 1 edited. Character Classes: edited the already completed work but did not completely finish the classes due to unexpected research requirements; Races: started; 1,500 /5,000 words BUT removed an equivalent amount from the manuscript draft. Still short, but not as short as I might have been. Chart-value should be noted to exceed value of word number entered in chart. 5.       Project2: Chapter 1: Adding Project2 to Your Campaign: was complete until I added a new section; Chapter2: Project 2 Class: started bare bones outline;. Start Chapter 3: Project 2

Finding my Feet Part 6—November Progress Report 4

Two tests, two days of working extra hours, a teething two-year-old and what amounts to two days off. A slow week this week, but the two days’ rest mean I’m about to head into to today with a clearer writing head. Writing Me: 1.       YA Novel1: Ch.1-3 outline complete. Ch.4 outline started. 2.       Blog: 3/4 +1 3.       Bob Mayer and Jen Talty’s Publishing Options course: Wk 3 complete. 4.       Continue reading and working through Bob Mayer’s Write it Forward: From Writer to Successful Author and Joy E. Held’s Writer Wellness: A Writer’s Path to Health and Creativity . Writing Head #2: 1.       Novella1: +1500 wds. I struggled with this all week, and as it is prioritised above my other goals, nothing else got done (except in class breaks while on a training course). I may have to put a time limit on it on days I struggle. I only have 2500 words to finish this month’s goal of 10000. Not sure if I can do it unless the story starts cooperating - or I find a bigger ha
