Write in 2014 discussion

I'm starting this today, here are my goals:
January/February: 100 words/day
March/April: 200 words/day
May/June: 250 words/day
July/August: 300 words/day
September/October: 400 words/day
November/December: 500 words/day
+ one day a month, sit down and write 2,500 words.
This is so that I can get used to writing everyday, and then steadily increase my wordcount:
What counts: Original Stories/Poems, essays for school, blog posts that have meaning, etc.
Doesn't Count: Fanfiction(for the sole reason that I've been focusing too much on fanfiction (essays about books/characters do count)

Other Writing goals(that tie into the above:
--Sign up for runaway tales and get at least one prompt set done(This is from livejournal)
--write something longer than my Nano novel(over 50,367 words
--15 short stories and/or poems
--World Building/Conlang for my story
--Kavon Story
--Kenneth Story
--Edit my nano 08 novel(I tried Nano 09, but got busy with school)

I hope the list isn't too long, but those are just things I've been wanting to accomplish, and so I added them to my new years goals.

i sympathy with you my friend, my 08 nano is also looming in a dark cloud over my head :)

True, I generally edit as I go(and then again when I finish) and didn't do that during nano, now I have to do all of it.

Great goals, Kaira! Good luck with your writing. :)

Ugh. Me too, me too.

O_O Everyone writes so many more words than me.

Brigid, Good luck with yours as well

Fyopiagdt, I don't think there's any worries there, everyone going to do this different.

Good luck with all your goals! How have the first few days been?

Magdelina, I've met my goal 3 day in a row, which is a start, and I have a total of 1,135 words written.

That's awesome! I think I'm around that word count too! Yay!



I use too many exclamation points.

I agree Magdelina! I use them WAY to much also! =0)

Good luck with your goals Kairaraine!

Kristie, thanks, I'm doing well on this so far.

I signed up for a prompt set, and have posted twice for runaway tales.

Nice job!
