Day 1 of Sven
Today marks the start of 70 Days of Sweat! Like I said last week, my goal is complete 60k in 70 days which equals 858 words per day. The schedule incorporates 7 “free” days in there so I’ll be able to take off time during the holidays.
If I make my goal, I’ll either be done with Clash or very close.
Anyway, I’ve gotten off to an awesome start today with about 1,200 words so far. I read back over what I’d written already, and I was surprised at how much I actually like it. I was afraid I’d need to scrap a lot of it and start over. It’s funny what a little time can do to your perspective. I think taking a month off was the best thing I did for this manuscript. Sure, it needs some editing, but there’s good material there. Lots of action starting out, and I’m really liking how my character is developing. After I read over it, I started writing and I’m not quite yet ready to be done for the day even though I surpassed my goal. Fine with me!
Here’s where it stands right now.

Clash: YA Urban Fantasy
15,213 / 80,000 Words (19.00%)
I won’t be making a post about this every day, but I wanted to take a snapshot of things at the beginning. Hopefully it will continue to go this smoothly, but I know all too well there will be difficult days ahead. 
TG Status: Still waiting on revisions, but I’m expecting them any day now. I’ve also finished the sample chapters and synopsis for Book 2. I need to do some editing before sending them on to my agent, but I’m going to focus on Clash while waiting on revision notes.

Way to go for the first day! And woohoo about still loving what you already wrote. That’s great. Nothing like revisiting a manuscript and discovering you still love it. =o)
