Had a great week. I finished a 59 page beta read, gave him 199 comments and a 300 word synopsis of my thoughts.
The dream sequences are done, and I did a scan through and loved the way they fit into the novel… Unfortunately, I now have 118,000 words (18,000 to cut rather than 17,000)
I didn’t even open my web design software this week. I got too caught up in preparing contest entries and blogging.
Row 80 is a bit of a stress point in my life. I feel like I need to try to visit as many people as I can who are participating… but that takes up a lot of my time. Need to find balance.
Goals for this week:
1. Write a short story that I came up with over the weekend while I was camping
2. Decide if my novel actually ends or not (I though it did, but now that might be in question)
3. Finish my summary.
4. Visit and comment on two or three other Row80 participants a night. It’s not realistic to visit you all. Most likely, if you stop by here, I’ll return the favor.
5. Enter the 50 word synopsis contest
6. Enter the “Gasp” contest at Brenda Drake’s site on Thursday.
