You have this so sorted out I kinda want to tuck my tail D: I started out plannin for the event and thought I had the plot going and how many word each chapter would average and the average word per day kinda thing. Then one of my characters went bonkers in my head and changed everything last minute, yes 6 hours before midnight everything changed so now I am kind of doing this as a "pantser". SCARY! <br />I have days, where I can push out 7k at a time (sounds like giving birth and kinda is) so I have no idea what I will average or when. Crossing fingers that I don't hit plot holes, thats the biggest concern since my darned MC went and changed the whole beginning!Erica Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01047782756627025143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7127677169344207651.post-27224983250569611032010-06-01T09:24:23.262-04:002010-06-01T09:24:23.262-04:00Jan--I try to 'bank' progress, too, as SOM...Jan--I try to 'bank' progress, too, as SOMEWHERE something will go SLOWER than planned--sadly--but your revision timing is perfect for a September querying, yeah? Seems that bodes well for one of the periods agents are really looking for new stuff! Good luck!<br /><br />Clarissa--I just PLAY organized on my blog--I'm actually somewhat of a disaster--but I'm glad the disguise is working! Glad to have you doing BuNoWriMo, too!<br /><br />Sugar--as mentioned... the plan is a ruse... URGH! Baseball! I had a couple years there that both of my kids played--6 nights a week we had SOMETHING for baseball! Thankfully, they've both given it up *shifty* (there are things I miss about it--and I prefer it to swim meets, but the swim meets are at least less frequent.) You can do it too!Hart Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17599570189253229318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7127677169344207651.post-18949347241151244802010-06-01T09:19:00.908-04:002010-06-01T09:19:00.908-04:00Yay naked writers and old men in tubs!!!

I need to do just about 3 hours a day to meet my sched. These early days that'll be easy - I'm reading over my first draft and have six hours down for that - I'm a speedy reader so probably take less time. My thing will be if I finish the task under hours no problem. So I can pick up time that way. I'll check in on your process but probably won't comment much. This feels just like when I was in Dublin and there were thousands of us standing around waiting for the race to begin and we were mostly all nervous (not the Kenyans) and psyched and it was cool and a bit rainy just like today.
