Another Milestone

Catherine — Sun, 01 Aug 2010 06:32:44 +0000

This is for The Circled Green. Finally I hit the amount I was aiming for with NaNo. XD

(Random note: I reached the end of the chapter and checked the wordcount. 49 994. Why does this always happen?)

Looking Good So Far

So, is my new experiment in motivation working?

They say pictures are worth a thousand words, so why don’t you take a look?

I guess that image is worth thirty-five thousand words.

A Double Celebration!

I have reached the 40 000 and 10 000 word marks for Lionheart and Bones respectively. Isn’t that awesome?

I think so!

Anyway, now that I have more than definitely reached the half-way point for Lionheart, and am about a sixth of the way through Bones I just need to be like the kitty below and reference Star Wars stay on target.

But in the meantime: Yippee!

Yippee!

I just hit the 30 000 word mark, and at just the point in the story I wanted to as well.

I’ve just ended the chapter at that point with our heroes jumping from the airship being chased by possessed security guards.

Now I am off for the weekend to stay with family in Blenheim. Although I will be doing some writing on the boat rides there and back (three hours each way), I am going to come back refreshed and ready to finish the last part of my goal – JK has promised me a present from New York if I reach the 35 000 word mark by the end of the month.

At about a week and a bit into this month I was fluffing about in a panic because I was so far behind schedule to make that goal. I thought there was no way I could reach 35k now that I had started off so poorly. But I knuckled down and started churning out 1000 words a day for several days. That’s the most I have ever written at once, and it feels good.

So anyway, goodbye, I’ll see you on Monday, and by then I’ll be back and writing! W00t!

Lionheart’s First Milestone

Catherine — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 08:36:44 +0000

With Blood Bound, I found I had four main milestones before finishing: these were at the point of the story where the total was 10k, 20k, 40k or 60k words.

And today I have reached the first of those milestones for Lionheart. I have reached 10 000 words, and have clocked over into having a five digit wordcount for this story.

So hooray! *dances*

(Oh, and as explanation for the variant of the poopcat meme, and why it says 9000 instead of 10 000, the explanation for the “It’s Over 9000!” meme is available on KnowYourMeme.com. I think I may have found a new addiction.)
