Picowrimo progress report #3

[julesjones]

Well, it's the last night of picowrimo, and having just checked and found that my total word count so far on the WIP is 20,119 words, I am calling it a night. I wrote at least 250 words every day, and I hit 20 kwords for the month. I'm well pleased with that. :-)

It's another novelette that grew -- I originally thought it was about 10-15k of story that might be bulked out to 20k by doing more description than I am wont to do, but then it acquired some more plot and I think it'll need at least that much more on top of the 20K I've already got. This means that it is *not* getting finished before I take a longish break over Christmas, but assuming no problems I can see myself having a finished first draft by the end of the first quarter next year.

Well done. I still have about 20k words to write on the WIP, so once I've done the rolling revision I'll be looking to do about 500 - 100 words a day (most days) until it's finished. No pressure now NaNoWriMo is finished, but if I can get the first draft done by the end of the year I'll be well pleased.

Thanks. :-) While there is no way I can do Nanowrimo, because I'm not physically capable of it, I did find that Picowrimo was very good at keeping me motivated to do my minimum 150 words *every* day. And I actually managed to do hoped-for 300 words every day but one.

With any luck we'll both be able to keep up the momentum now. :-)
