I've come across an interesting idea lately that says blogs are meant to be used. That is: added to, updated, posted to.... Hmm. Okay, so 2007 rushed by in a blur and 2008 looks like it's going exactly the same way.
I've finished editing Stones of Sahaar. It now stands at 95 000 words. I'm wondering if that's too long for a YA novel? Could I split it in two? I'm going to think about that as I progress with Jewel of Rajpur, but I don't want to make any Huge changes yet because otherwise I'll never get any further on with my story. I get bogged down in research and editing.
Jewel of Rajpur has its own problems at the moment. I'm 50 000 words through and my intrepid team of adventurers haven't reached Rajpur yet. I may have to rethink the title.
My goal for June is 3000 words a day. I have to finish this. I hate keeping track of daily word counts, but drastic action is called for.
So: June 1, word count, zero. Great! Good start to the month, but I did catch the new Indiana Jones movie with the kids.
June 2, word count, um.... Look, it's still early. Anything can happen. I might just read the paper first and have a cup of tea. And it's so miserable outside, drizzling and grey. I might take the papers back to bed for awhile... Hmmm, maybe tomorrow I'll be feeling more productive.
