This Week in Writing

[aesmael]

This week has been a bit of an odd week writingwise. It is the first week in which there are days I both attempted to meet my word quota and failed. Previously if I did not make my assigned word count it was because I wrote nothing that day. Well, I did not count what I wrote during my little block and posted this week so that may make up for it.

Then again, I did also pass a total of 10,000 words since I started, 4,556 of them on this Epic Fantasy story. Which is surprising because I did not even start working on it again until just a couple of days before I reposted the first part. The second part is already just about the length of the first and not nearly finished yet. Hopefully I can finish it before it needs posting so I can get a head start on part three, which is not even started yet.

For now I halted because I must first recall something very old before continuing.

This Week:

1,885 / 1,400 (134.0%)

Epic Fantasy:

14,702 / 30,000 (48.0%)

I wonder if it is quite fair to be setting such low word quotas when one character is so verbose? To be sure of meeting my target I need only give him some dialogue (not that he says any more than anyone else, he just takes far too many words to say it in). Still, to be sure of finishing the story in time I should probably be making a thousand words a day and even with Crangil's help I still have not managed it so I suppose it is not too much of a cheat. Welp, back to work.

You shouldn't worry about your word quotas in relation to your character's chattiness :) *hugs*
