Day 31 - and Final
So yesterday was day 31.
I ended up not writing at all but formatting my three prior novellas into an ebook collection. Not to go all self-promotional but for anyone who might be interested it's called PIN MONEY and available now.
How I ended up the month. Total fiction in the new novel. 71,000 words.
In a short story I started I write 5,700
So a total of 76,700 words of fiction written.
The manuscript is written beginning to end, but with a lot of holes and weak spots, particularly in the middle that I need to fix or add. I have maybe two or three scenes I'll still need to write but I know where they go and what they consist of. I figure another 4-6k words will do it giving me 75-77k in the finished first draft. and another 10-15k to add in the second as I flesh out scenes and bring me to my 90k total (give or take).
I also redid edits and formated a novella and the aforementioned collection and put both up for sale this month. All in all I'm happy with the month's work and want to thank those of you who stopped by to comment and encourage me. It was helpful and appreciated. I'm hoping to have the entire novel wrapped up and to my editor by the end of the month or beginning of Oct.
I may pop in here to tell you all how I"m doing but I won't bore you with a day-to-day rundown. Thanks again everyone and happy (and successful) writing to all.
