As of the cutoff date of this report, my YA novel was at 98,900 words.  Today, I wrote “The End” at 100,500 words.  So mark my goal of completing draft 1 of one of my WIPs as ACHIEVED!!

I’ll be transferring it to Scrivener for editing and software learning purposes now.

This leaves my goals of editing my other WIP so I can get it to a new beta reader, wrapping up my beta read by transcribing and sending the author my notes, and writing 3000 new words a week on anything I like, still to be achieved.  It feels daunting but as long as I know I’m working, I’ll get done what I get done.  If I were slacking, I’d feel guilty.  All I can say now is I might have set my goals too aggressively.  That’s not a guilt-inducing realization but a lesson.

My cumulative stats are updated on my ROW80-2 page.

Linky for the other ROW80 participants is up and ready for you to share the encouragement with my peers.  Thanks for the read!

Ooh, nearly done with ROW80 but still time to cram to make those lagging goals.

1990 words written on my YA novel.  I still think I’ll finish around this weekend.  I’m currently out of town on business so it’s all I can do to write even 100 words at night, let alone work on the other stuff.  Still, I think the goals are all achievable though the MS edit may be nick and tuck.
