Day - 278

A New Year Begins.....

Happy New Year!!! I've been able to start off the New Year with a bang. This last week, I was able to knock out 43 pages. I am so close to finishing the revised draft. I think if I keep my current pace, I should have no problem meeting my goal. Speaking of my goal, I may need to adjust it. The formatting in Word might put me over the 70K word count with 250 pages. So I'm currently at 58,815 in terms of word count. I will write until I hit 70,000 words or 250 pages - whichever comes first. Either way, it is do or die time for me to finish this revised draft before 1/11/10. Then, the "fun" process of shuffling scenes around and self-editing begins.

On a side note, I have surprised myself again with how I have thought up new scenes and twists to make RB2.0 a better story than it was in it's embryonic stages. I can see definite growth in my writing. It's nowhere close to Ted Dekker or Chelsea Cain in terms of writing quality, but it's getting better.

So what do you think, my blog followers? Can I write 11,185 words or 36 pages in the next 6 days? Or am I just living a dream and fantasizing about unrealistic goals?

Red Bow 2.0 Page Count = 214 pages
