Ok, so this is not going as well as I had hoped, but I am still making progress and that’s a change over last month. Several unusual situations are competing for my time, but I did manage to complete the draft of the Aether Age story today. It finished up at around 4600 words. I’ll go over it again tomorrow and do some touch-up.
In my defense, it’s difficult for me to finish one project then jump immediately into another one. I usually have at least one down day between projects. That’s one reason why I tend to write long fiction faster. For some reason, I have always worked faster on long projects. Maybe that’s why my word count is 1/3 what it was in November for NaNoWriMo. Analysis doesn’t excuse it, though.
Not sure if I’ll get any word count at all tomorrow. I’m scheduled to meet with Michael A. Stackpole to discuss digital publishing strategy. He’s got a lot of good ideas and uses digital self-publishing as part of his portfolio strategy. My own online fiction strategy has lagged behind the curve forever, and I finally figured out why. I don’t have a clear objective. That’s one thing I hope to figure out as a result of the meeting.
Okay, for the RiNoWriMo talley:
Day 4 / 682 words / 3861 total / -2139 from target / 1 short story completed
Day 3 / 810 words / 3179 total / -1321 from target
Day 2 / 1612 words / 2360 total / -631 from target
Day 1 / 757 words / 757 total / -743 from target
