Challenge Week Five

Posted by Jen on Monday, March 30th, 2009 @ 2:25 pm

This past week, I had solid progress on the WIP. I’m right on target to complete this novel by my goal of May 12th. I’m actually a week ahead of schedule, according to my Marathon Spreadsheet where I track each day’s word count…yeah, I track every day’s word count in a spreadsheet…

Anyway, the middle is…coming along. At this point, I’m not completely sure about it. I put my character in a sticky situation yesterday, and I think I got her out of it in a reasonable and interesting way. But I don’t know if I like it. We’ll see.

Here’s the status as of today. I’m past the halfway mark! Yay!

SHATTER ME: YA UF
36,472 / 70,000 Words (52.00%)

How’s everyone else doing?

Not great this week. Real job hunt and home projects got in the way. That and my first guest blog (exciting!).

So, I’m up to a measly 4800 on one of the WIP and 26k on the other.

Plodding along - another 7.5K week pushing the total to 45,500 to date.

Rough draft is getting reasonable close to ending, well short of the end target, but I’ve got a fair few plot points that have sprung up that need to be inserted into the rewrite, including one major character who was inexplicable forgotten about for a few chapters.

I track every day’s progress in a spreadsheet, too. Right now, my spreadsheet is like mainstreet in a ghost-town, but it’s there.

Good job on reaching halfway. Keep up the good words. =o)

Michelle - Job hunt progress is always a good thing! I did some of that this week, too.

Andrew - You’re doing great.

B.E. - Yeah, I love tracking it in a spreadsheet, even if it does make me a little nerdy. :)
