Not that it matters any more...

Not that I am caring about word count goals for "The Plan" any more - it's not for a challenge, so I am writing at my leisure, and intending to edit even more so - but I have picked up the threads of the novel and am plugging on with it.

75,173 / 140,000 (53.7%)

So I'm not sure what the final "first draft word count" will turn out to be, but 140k seems reasonable given that I wrote almost 70k on Part One. I have quite a lot of plot still to get through and am revelling in the fact that I can take my time now to get through it. Wahoo!

ETA:

78,257 / 140,000 (55.9%)

I am impressed with my ouput for today!

I am also trying to figure out which challenges I can take part in next year. I don't want to overload myself, so my desire, which is "all of them!", is going to have to be moderated by common sense. Especially since I am running a challenge next year.

So I'm saying right now, please don't be offended if I don't take part in your challenge next year! I love challenges, but probably can't do everything, at least not if I want to have a week or two next year to devote to my own projects...

I'm going to be SO OFFENDED if you don't take part in my challenge! I am going to take all my toys and go home!

...are you running a challenge next year? (Are you doing Word 2 Ur Momma again? Maybe I can finally resurrect "Justinated" and get it polished off...)

And hey, you're one of the people that wants to read "The Plan" - if I do all the challenges in the world I will never have time to finish it!

I am hopefully running word2urmomma again. I might be the only participant, but the show WILL go on!

That's a fantastic word count!

Which challenge are you running?

[catviret.livejournal.com]

I am doing the Badfic Challenge, probably in March next year.

The premise: Take a badfic concept, and make it good.

It should be fun!

LOL, sounds like fun!

Staying away from challenges is hard! It's good that you're so determined to do so.

Hee. I won't stay away from all the challenges. I obviously have to do SeSa, my own challenge, and Remix, and I'm really tempted by the Chris challenge too.

But I really, really want to finish The Plan this year. No JuC Swap for me, I think, and no Dragons unless I have something shiny and ready to go.

Really, doing my own writing is important.

YOU MUST JOIN THE CHRIS CHALLENGE!

You know, if you want to *g*

Really, doing my own writing is important

It is. As a former challenge addict, I've found having my own fic with no hanging deadline is awesome. I'm sure you do too.
