It’s the end of the third full week of the year. My progress on my historical novel has been a little slower than I’d like, but I’ve been doing other things such as writing magazine articles, designing a quilt, preparing to teach a quilting class, and collaborating with friends on what will be an amazing new project. (More to come on that very soon!)
For those of you who have not been following along, I am asking for sponsors to donate to a literacy charity each time I achieve my monthly writing goal. If I don’t meet the goal, then I am responsible for making the donation instead of you.
So far I only have one sponsor, and I started this on January 14, mid-way through the month. She told me not to worry about the first two weeks of the year, since I wasn’t in full swing yet, so for January I theoretically only have to produce 8000 words, not 16,000. I will try to do better than that though!
My stats so far
Starting word count – 19,464 (edited: I originally started with 22,213 words, but had to delete a lot which pushed back my starting count)
Week 1 count – 467
Week 2 count – 2369
Week 3 count – 5281
So far for the month I’ve written 8117 words, so technically I’ve surpassed my goal of 4000 words per week! Yay me!
I do intend to keep writing this week though.
If you’d like to sponsor me by contributing to First Book, just check out my Jan. 14 blog post for info on how.
