YA and Beyond discussion

I'm one of those people who actually can't stand setting writing goals, but I'm gonna give this a shot because I want to get SOMETHING accomplished.

- Reread/revise my horrendous NaNo attempt (the Witch of November/mermaid story)

- Find an actual plot for my weird possibly-Victorian, possibly-steampunk Family idea

- Consider redoing my high-fantasy NaNo attempt from a few years ago. Possibly.

- Try my best to write (or story work) for at least an hour each week. This might prove difficult because I tend to let stories meander through my head and not write anything down until it's concrete in my mind, and that can take MONTHS.

All while reading as much as I can :)

Yay, Ashley! I like the idea of dedicating an hour to writing each week. :) Good luck!

I could totally steal your opening and closing sentences--I feel the same way. :)
Good luck with your goals!

Thanks ladies :) Elora, TELL ME ABOUT IT. I think the only reason I crank so much out in November is because NaNoWriMo actually gives me a deadline, haha.

Seriously though! Most months I struggle to write even like 2k words. I don't understand how I manage to write so much in November, but I guess it must be because of the deadline. :P

Yeah, 2k words in a month vs 2k words in a DAY. eesh.

Exactly! And somehow during NaNo I'm like "oh 2k, that's not so bad" but I guess that's because some days during NaNo I have to write like 5k in order to catch up. :D I think it's also that so many people are sprinting during NaNo, it motivates me to get more done.

In other news, I figured out the name and general look of the Weird Family's country estate last night :D Still haven't tracked down my notes on what their surname's supposed to be xD

Aaaah that's awesome!
