September Word Count

[lizvogel]

Falling From Ground: 3238

And that was it for September. (Could've sworn I'd worked on Green Ring, but apparently that was last month.) I was hoping for more, but there were a couple of week-long stretches of no writing, so I really should be glad it's as good as it is. And it ain't bad, really.

More consistency would give better results, however. Already working on that, having written at least a little bit today.

Queries sent: 4

And 4 other agents crossed off (and two more that I spent ages researching, only to go with another at the same agency). Not as much as I need to do, but it's still progress.


For October: More of the same. Work on writing more consistently, which will get the word count up. Get more queries out. And it wouldn't hurt to have another go at the short stories; most of them are back in the stable, and should go out again.

Great!
I'm cheering you on. :)

For myself, I have discovered that I just can't be truly consistent, so I fake it a little. I only need to make my daily wordage goal on four days of the week in order to make my weekly goal. After having set things up this way, you wouldn't believe how much better I goat at meeting those weekly goals. >:)

Well, by "consistent", I don't mean writing every day or anything like that. An irregular schedule with some days off actually works better for me. But if I go six days without writing, and I do that twice in a month, the wordcount does suffer for it. Whereas if I manage to plink away at least once every few days, it makes a big difference, even if the individual days don't look that impressive.

Four days a week sounds about right, in fact. It all adds up!
