November Word Count / Goals
Sunday, December 1st, 2013 05:38 pmoriginal short fiction: 292
Haley novel: 4963
Total new words in November: 5255
Whew! Would have been nice if most of that hadn't been in the last week, but there was this thing about having to throw out almost a thousand words because I revamped the plot again. I've a post half-written about that; suffice for now to say that that explains both the end-of-month push and the fact that the writing was dragging so very badly before then.
Queries: Whiffed the seven-day deadline more often than not, but it all got done before the month was over, so good enough. Crossed off five and queried two.
December's goals: 5000 words and a query every seven days, as before. I shouldn't need slack on the word-count, and besides, I think the novel is finally picking up. Possibility of an exception on the queries if too many agents are closed for the holidays, but I should be able to find four.
