Sorry for the lateness of this post, my internet crashed yesterday.
Today I ticked off another target, having made a decision to proceed with a poetry pamphlet split into morning, noon and night – there are 6 poems in total. I’m happy with the choices now, and editing them will start in earnest in November.
I also did another couple of thousand words on ‘The Story of One’ – I really want to get to 45,000 words on that by the end of October, which is 20,000 up from last November. It’s not as many as originally planned but it’s only another few thousand and I’m sure with a push I can get it done.
The final short story read-through is also being done tomorrow (otherwise I’ll miss my 31 October postal target!) so once I’ve done that and printed them I can tick that off. As you know, I had earlier targets for that, because otherwise I’d have given up on them, but as long as I get them out I’ve met the project plan so I’m satisfied with that.
In fact, the only thing that’s really gone awry has been Torch Tales. I accept the writing of those needs to run on into November, as the rest of tomorrow will be filled up with visitors and feedback from my critical friend on my first novel…
It’s a shame about those but at least I’ve finished the route plan research and the outline stories. I still have hope that I’ll have drafted the complete first tale by the end of October but I’m not going to feel too bad if not.
With my last two days I am going to tick off as much as I can. Come 1 November, I’ll be working on the next plan!
Happy writing,
EJ
