Oh, I don’t know. Basically I want to finish, or at least get pretty far into, the first draft of my WIP before the end of the school year. I’m not sure that’s going to happen, though, since my outline just keeps growing and I have the terrible feeling now that my novel will end up reeeaaaallly long. 🙂
I’ll still raise my battle sword, though! Onward!
October 3, 2016 at 4:08 pm #18606I’m here again!! …that is, if you all will let me after my horrendous flop this summer… 😐
My (writing) goals for this fall/winter:
NaNoWriMo! I am completely changing course from what I HAD planned and am switching to a story I had started prepping in school and school gets my NaNo story…ies. XD
Not dying from school and writing loads is always in there somewhere.
Umm… Other than that and editing last NaNo (actually making it through this time) I don’t have any true “goals”… Although I have a few dreams.*holds head high and sword higher with one hand on the keyboard* Let us go to battle!
October 6, 2016 at 9:13 pm #18763Well, everyone, another milestone…
I have reached page 100 in my story. 11 point Time New Roman font, which is something to cheer about. YAY! I reached that mark within the course of three and a half months.

October 6, 2016 at 9:41 pm #18769@dragon-snapper Congratulations. It’s always so much fun to reach a milestone. 🙂 🙂 🙂
October 7, 2016 at 10:03 am #18791Awesome, @dragon-snapper! (Cool goal, by the way. I haven’t tried writing by the page.)
October 7, 2016 at 11:43 am #18796@dragon-snapper Huzzah! That’s a huge milestone in any story, especially when it’s written in less than four months. I have to ask, how do you write that fast: outlines or by the seat of your pants?
October 7, 2016 at 1:42 pm #18806@Dragon-Snapper Congratulations! It’s exciting being able to see progress and reach goals. 😀

Whoo-hoo! That is wonderful!! 😀October 7, 2016 at 6:35 pm #18834Thanks, everyone!
In answer to your question, @kate-flournoy, I have no idea as of yet. 😀 I’m hoping for it to be another 7 or 8 chapters, depending on the flow of things–I also have a prologue and will have a epilogue– I’m not sure as of yet, because I’ve never completed a novel before; this is my second attempt, and it is going much much better.
And your question, @Hannah-krynicki, I’ve planned the story out. My previous attempt at a novel wasn’t really planned and it was one of the reasons I had to stop it–yay writer’s block–so I tried to plan this one out. Originally, it was going to be sixteen chapters long, but it didn’t work out that way. So, I’m using the story-line I gave myself and rearranging the chapters.
And, as you all know, I’m hoping for it to be done by Christmas.☀ ☀ ☀ ENFP ☀ ☀ ☀

Wow, congratulations! That’s awesome! 🙂October 17, 2016 at 12:01 pm #19368Yay peoples! (I like the word peoples) I never used to think about how much writing is getting done every minute.
I have received my book back from my beta reader (wink at @hopeann) and am now officially starting the third draft. Hopefully the fourth one will be my last and then Dawn will be done. Unfortunately, you guys might have no way of reading it. Except for @corissa-maiden-of-praise and @hopeann. But I am really excited because I am halfway done!
