Monthly wordage report
Sep. 1st, 2015 08:47 amIt isn't a PicoWrimo month, but I may as well note August's wordage. I wrote every day (although I didn't hit 200 words on a handful of days), and added 13,000 words to the novel WIP. Did a couple of book reviews, which I must post. Had a short story accepted by Loose Id, which will be released as a freebie at some point (probably relatively soon, given that I was doing edits over the weekend, but I'm not promising anything). Sent a query off, but no response so far and by now I'm not expecting one.
Given that I seem to be able to do a solid 10k a month at the moment, I may well finish the rough draft of the WIP before the end of September. Unfortunately it's going to be a *very* rough draft, and I think I will have to set it aside for a couple of weeks before I go back to edit it.
I've got several partials in the pipeline to work on in the meantime, including two novels that I really want to get done and out there on submission. I also have some completed pieces in need of a home, so I'm seriously considering taking part in pitchmad (a Twitter pitching thing) next week. In order to do that I'll need to come up with some Twitter pitches, which will be a good exercise for me anyway. I may be inflicting the results on my flist for comments. :-)
