Okay, so this year things haven't gone as well. I barely finished moving (Redwood City to Grass Valley to Marina Del Rey) before the first of November and the new day job is, well, pushing a little more than the last two times. I've had two days with nothing, zip, zilch, and two days with low (1000 more or less) word counts, although one of those the writing was tough - I was working on a tender sex scene that just needed to be right. Even so...
2009 - by November 10th I had 23, 749 - that book finished out at 77K by the 30th, I think.
2010 - by November 10th I had 37, 675 - around 65 K more or less...
Umm, by the end of yesterday (at 3:15 AM according to the timestamp) I had a grand total of...
12, 940 words... I'm 3,730 words behind the 1,667 words a day needed to finish. My current estimate of the book length is 62,800, but then this early it's pretty hard to tell. The other book in the series (this is part of a romantic erotica series I plan to indie-pub) is at 52K so this represents a little growth.
I'll be staying down here for the next two weekends. The lonely novelist, typing away in his garret. Or I guess that's artists.... we just toil away on our laptops.
Better get moving....
