#ROW80 Checkin 12-18

A #ROW80 check-in on my birthday? Bah! LOL

Ye, it’s my birthday, but let’s do this seriously, shall we?

 

Hello friends =)

Only four more days for the end of round 4 … omg,  I can’t believe it … it went by so fast!

 

Here are my goals (complete list here):

  1. Revise my NaNo novel (G.H.)
  2. Read 1 book per week
  3. Blog at least once per week (besides the #ROW80 check-ins)
  4. Comment on #ROW80 friends’ blogs

 

Blogging

All done.

 

Reading

I’ve been slow this week, since I put emphasizes on writing and Christmas shopping lol

Read The Last Awakening by Rachel Firasek.

Started Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor.

 

Writing

On Monday I worked on a scene that was bothering me and officially finished the first-round of revisions for G.H. It’s already with one of my beta-readers. This coming week, I should hand it to another beta-reader. I’ll also talk to my CPs and see when they can take a look at it ;)

On Tuesday, I started a novella. Just because. Of course, it’s New Adult. As many of you advised, I have to follow my gut, and my gut tells me this is my niche. Wrote 3,669 words.

On Wednesday, I wrote 2,604 words. Not as much as I wanted, but good enough.

On Thursday, I wrote 1,000 words in the morning. Then more 1,300 at night. Got distract by many things (a few very important though) during the afternoon.

On Friday, I wrote 4034 words. And I went Christmas shopping (finally), though I didn’t buy everything yet.

On Saturday, 1539 words. Note that I usually don’t write on Saturdays.

UPDATE: Wrote another 1000 words on Sunday and I also usually don’t write on Sundays ;)

So this novella is something new, that is not on my original goals, but, if all goes well, I should be done with it before the end of round 04.

 

How are you guys doing? We are getting to the end … are you guys ready?

Who will come back for next round? *raises hand*

  2. I’ve got Laini Taylor’s book on my TBR pile, so let me know what you think. Your word counts make me jealous. I’m going away now.

  4. Happy Birthday, Juliana! I hope you’re having a wonderful day. :)

    You’re doing great on your goals. Keep up the good work. I can’t believe you added something extra to your plate this time of year. But it sounds like that novella had to get written!

    I don’t have my Christmas shopping done either. And it’s REALLY stressing me out. LOL

  5. Your doing so well. In answer to your question, I’ve accomplished a lot but very little writing. We moved in September. I’ve spent tons of time just being available for my teenage sons. It’s meant keeping my face out of the computer but while I was sitting on the sofa or at the kitchen table so they could talk if they wanted to, an idea began brewing. I’m a non fiction writer and I’m going to tackle fiction in 2012. There. I’ve said it. We’ll see how it goes in Row80 2012:)

  10. Happy belated birthday!!! Hope you had a great day!

    Your word counts are amazing and well done on finishing this round with a bang! Have a wonderfull Christmas :)
