Novel Progress

[jayes_musings]

Yes, I know I haven't really updated this in forever, but I'm working regularly on my novel again, so I'm actually going to track it.



I'm aiming for 1,000 words a day, although I know that will vary more or less depending on any number of factors. Still, slow progress is still progress (and this is why I don't do NaNoWriMo *g*)

are we nanoing? I am almost tempted then keep remembering that it's the Christmas FAir at the end of the month...

why can't they have NANO in JAn?? I'm bored then.

I know...Jan is the perfect month...why Nov, things start getting busy in Nov?

I'm not expecting to win, but if it gives me the motivation to work on the novel consistently, then it's all good.

You win every day you show up at the page and type something!

So true! And I do manage to write something just about every day, or try to! But I'm going to try my own Nano challenge in January, when I'll have time...just to get some head way on the novel

That sounds like a plan. And when you are ready, I hope you decide to self-publish. If you haven't caught some of the following blogs, they give you good tips.

They have all been there and done it and make some good $$ and haven't sacrificed their art to legacy publishing. Lots of good stuff there whenever you are ready.

Thanks! I will definitely check them out. And self-publish is certainly an avenue that I'm going to seriously look into.
