Writing Year in Review

[akirlu]

Short Stories:

21 Stories started.
12 Stories finished (first draft).
1 Story 2nd-drafted.
1 Story workshopped.

The redraft was for the workshop. Lesson: deadlines are helpful.

Total word count: 30,785

Notes and outlines total word count: 5,722

Novels:

Total word count: 6,253

Lesson: NaNoWriMo insufficient deadline to motivate me.

Grand total fiction-oriented word count = 42,627 (vast majority of which was written in the last six months since deathless_pose started)

Which is up approx. 42,627 words from last year, so hey.

Next year, more of the same plus: Finish existing stuff. 1,500 words per week toward novels. Redraft, redraft, redraft.
