lizvogelJuly's goals were not word quotas, but rather Things Being Done. To wit:
Finish revamping the query - Done
Finish the novel revisions - Done
Rewrite the synopsis - not done.
I'm a bit frustrated with myself over the synopsis, but two out of three ain't bad. Especially when it's those two. I got the orphan reference inserted reasonably smoothly in the one and only place it apparently could go, the additional action bit works per my beta, and I finally tweaked the very last paragraph into something I'm happy with. The query will be getting a test-drive this weekend, which hopefully will yield some good data, if nothing else. And I did at least get the outline done, which was the prerequisite for the next synopsis attempt.
Just for the record:
first novel revisions: 222
post-novel novella & etc.: 2372
old-mission stories: 1150
Total new words in July: 3744
Not bad, considering.
