Write on! Plans & Probs with Publication
A home schooling SAHM's blog on writing with four kids while trying to get published!
Rated:

by
Avg Rating: (26)
 
Following the advice of my good friendly rival (no longer on the site *Cry*), I have decided to create my own journal. This gives me a bit more freedom than I could achieve in the Daily Writing Challenge. *Bigsmile*

This journal started out somewhat randomly. However, I have been fairly consistant at daily writing. Sometimes I use it for writing-related vents, and sometimes I use it to help me plot my stories or figure out my characters. I'll let you know where I am on getting published, assuming I make progress. On occasion, I use it just to rant in general, and sometimes there are site-related goods or bads. But, to be fair, I try to let you know in the title if I am working on character development.

edited to add: I decided to make the split. All of my writing germs will be contained in "Invalid Item" 

I ramble. Doesn't this introduction prove it?

My new goal: To complete my novel - Slipstream - in the next 30 days
Start Date: 9 Aug 2010
Goal End Date: 24 Sept 2010 (there was a lot of lag but the next serious start date was 8/30)
The primary goal is to write for 3-4 hours every day. The original was 4 but I think, with four kids, that 3 is more plausible. Whatever word count comes, will come

                   Today's Word Count ~5,000
                   Total Word Count ~16,650
