Work In Progress (03/03/07)

This entry is part 8 of 19 in the series Work in Progress

Well, my plan to write 30,000 words during February failed miserably. I wrote about 1200, perhaps? Admittedly, that was an improvement on December and January, but still not as good as I’d hoped for.

Unless I can apply myself, I’m never going to get this story written. And I do want to write it! I’ve had such good ideas to go into it; I have a really firm idea now of where things are going, and it’s all just rotting away in my brain like so much compost. I need to do out a better plot outline as a bare minimum. Perhaps this week sometime?

If I could even write another 1000 words this month I’d be pleased. Maybe I should give up on setting myself targets - unless I go the whole hog, and use my No Plot? No Problem! kit. I didn’t want to sully it, because it was so shiny and new - perhaps if I started to use it, I’d feel compelled. Although I’m not betting on it.

I dunno. I might just let things sit for a bit. I have an important work deadline for May, and after all, I get paid for that one…
