Blood Lines has at last come to a close at 52000 words. Whew. Surprising for me as I thought it would go longer. Of course, there's still the sequel to rework but that's another month all together.
After much thought, I've decided that trying to write 50K words each month in addition to the goal of finishing the pre-existing novel at over 50K total word count is stressing me out past expectations.
Thus, I've decided to cut the goal to simply finishing one novel per month at a word count over 50K. NaNoWriMo is coming up soon and that one will be a brand new novel and 50K in a month. Keep in mind, the novels get shorter and less finished as I go on, so my word count goes up each month.
Part of this is that I noticed I was concentrating more on the side projects meant to bump word count than I was on the project I intended on finishing, and that ruins the point of the challenge completely.
This writing year is about focus.
